What can I say?! We stayed only one night, unfortunately. This boutique bed and breakfast is an outstanding place to stay. From the moment entered the patisserie until we left the next day after a delicious breakfast, we were at home and enjoyed every second of staying in the Merveilleux. We will come back and hopefully for a longer stay. The staff was wonderfully uncomplicated, friendly and helpful. The room we stayed in was stunning with a view into the old town of Ghent. It was beautifully decorated and you could see and feel that a lot of thought has gone into the making of this place. Everything was spotless and clean. Thank you for you having us as your guests.

The location is fantastic. Easily accessible by tram or bus. There is a church behind every church and a park or green space between each one. Many areas are limited to pedestrians and vehicular traffic was very light in the area. Many types of cuisine to explore within walking distance and a very nice room to use as the base to enjoy it all. Very well-appointed room, with many thoughtful details. Washcloths!!

It was a bit of a climb to the room. I read that in the description but was still surprised. I would not have wanted to navigate those steep stairs with a heavy suitcase. Tried cleaning the coffee machine about 20 times before making a cup of tea.

Our three nights here were perfect. The property was beautifully furnished, extremely comfortable and exceptionally clean. The location in the historic centre of Ghent was perfect, lots of restaurants to choose from, tram stop is very close to the property but not too far to walk into the commercial centre or railway station. The cafe below the apartment, Mervilleux de Fred was lovely.

Only really minor things: a reading light switch on both sides of the bed would have been great; a note in the room explaining breakfast options in the cafe would have been helpful

3 night stay - absolutely beautiful, comfortable room, in a charming side street within eye and earshot of the famous Bell tower. Magical location above a patisserie (the smell of fresh baking waking you up in the morning), where you check-in. Staff were extremely welcoming and attentive. The 'official' breakfast offering looked amazing but we just had a smaller selection of the amazing cakes and pastries as we watched them being prepared. Very easy to get to and from the station with tram stop just around the corner. Can't thank the staff enough for their care and attention.

Nothing - it was honestly perfect.

The room was very nice, and I especially liked the modern and clean bathroom, the water bottles in the fridge and the coffee machine. The wifi worked also very well. The breakfast formula in the tea room also working as a de facto reception was very nice (the cost of 20€ was not as nice)

We arrived on Monday afternoon when the tea room operating as the reception was closed so that caused some anxiety. Fortunately we got the door code from the host.

Everything was amazing: - tastefully decorated and spacious room with SUPER comfy beds and pillows, and all needed amenities (you can get a restful sleep here) - all staff were happy, very friendly and helpful to us - central location close to all that you need from supermarkets, bars, restaurants, shops etc; - the pastry downstairs is a must try, with great pain de chocolate and good coffee! - Bonus: free water, tea/coffee in the room, incl coffee machine Will return for sure next time in Ghent!

Nothing - all was great

The location was fantastic, and the room was really well laid out and comfortable. The breakfast was amazing! However, there were only enough teabags for 1 cup, and it was awkward to ask the staff every time we wanted more (we were there for 3 nights) The tap water was always warm, so we couldn't use it for drinking.

Great location, just a couple of steps from the bell tower. Super cozy adorable room, looks very new, adjustable heating, tea and coffee in the room, comfy beds and pillows. Good and spacious shower, nice aroma of soap and shampoo, really liked it. We've arrived after the reception had closed already, but we've got an email with the door code, and room keys were waiting for us. No stress!

Reception is in the bakery around the corner. It's not bad, but a bit weird

The staff was so kind and helpful. The location was great, just one block from the Bell Tower in the city center. The room was lovely. I was so comfortable there and there was enough space to sit at a small table in the room for coffee. I really liked have a mini-fridge in the room. The bed linens were soft and comfortable and there was air conditioning which made it so quiet and comfortable. An added bonus was the cafe and bakery on the main floor. It was delightful. I would definitely stay here again.

Merveilleux was amazing and was by far the best hotel we stayed in during our European vacation. The B&B was easy to access by tram (from the central train station) and was steps away from the city center, which was filled with wonderful historic buildings and many options for restaurants, coffee shops, stores, etc. Not only was the room excellent, but it was also one of the only places we stayed in Europe with air conditioning, which was greatly appreciated as we visited during a heat wave! Check-in by talking to the staff in the bakery downstairs was unusual and quirky. I wish we could have tried all of the pastries, they were delicious. Notably, the city of Ghent discourages driving in the center, so there is no parking at the hotel, but we heard there was a parking lot nearby. We found the city was very walkable so there was no need for a car.
