Reviews of Geldmunt Apartment

It was a privilege to stay in this centuries-old historic building. Full of quirky period features. The huge bed was super comfy. Location right opposite the castle is superb.

The ladder-like staircase to the bedroom was a bit awkward. Noise from the tram-line was a bit annoying until I got used to it - just wear earplugs and that solves the problem.

Wonderful location. Cant get much better. The owner was super fast at replying when I asked a question.

Yes the stairs were very steep but simply just leave your large bags on the floor below.

The location was fantastic. It was spacious, and they provided all the bits and bobs you could need. Extra toilet roll, shower gel, dishwasher tablets etc. which saves you buying when only staying a few nights. Having the castle outside the house was incredible.

I would say if you’re a light sleeper bring ear plugs, the trams are directly outside your door and continue into the early hours. Mosquito spray would be advisable to purchase if you know you’re tasty, I was eaten alive in bed.

The location is amazing! Being across from the castle is great. Easy access to attractions. Highly recommended!

A truly unique and unforgettable stay—highly recommended for those looking for an authentic Ghent experience!

Right opposite Gravensteen castle. The view and location could not be better. Close to trams and added bonus - very close Christmas markets

Best ever accommodation overlooking the castle !!!

Situation and the fact that it was an historical building

The stairs to the bedroom.

Exceptional location!!!! For history and atmosphere lovers!!!!

Excellent location, opposite the castle and right in the old town. Really interesting place over 3 floors with exposed beams. Modern kitchen with everything you would need

Great location! Close to everything and very close to public transportation. Beautiful view of the Gravensteen. Host responded quickly to questions and was very easy to work with.

The stairs up to the bedroom were difficult to navigate due to steepness

everything was very good from location to facilities

The house itself, the interior and the location. It’s so unique architecturally and location wise that it’s right in front of the famous castle. The host was sent a super useful info about the property, restaurant recommendation, and parking as well as driving info into Ghent.

Location as it was difficult to transport luggages from our parking location. It was also a little tricky to take the tram to connect to the Bruce station, but maybe there was a hack we or Google map didn’t know of. It could be an added info that the host could add to her welcome info letter.

Good location

Location and general layout in each floor. Very clean, wide and comfortable bed, very efficient and smooth contact with operator.

The apartment is organized in 3.5 floors, imposing significant use of stairs, which is not explicitly mentioned in the property description. Access to the upper floor (sleeping room) made through a VERY steep stair, requiring extra care especially when coming down. This is not mentioned in the property description, barely possible to guess from the last photo there. I include here the photos showing the stairs.

This is a sweet, quirky old house in a perfect location. We appreciated the space to store our bikes inside and also the washing machine. Perfect for our bike tour. The house is very well equipped including a dishwasher and lots of kitchen equipment

The house wasn't very well suited to being comfortable in the exceptionally hot temperatures we experienced. The location means it is noisy. Easily solved with earplugs

This was an amazing location - reality is better than the photos! Amazing views of the castle and river from your bedroom window! Perfectly placed for any breaks you may need from the day. We were in Gent in an unusually hot period up to 35°! We were able to sleep in the apartment - keeping the shutters at the front of the house closed during the day helped a lot. Gent is a beautiful city great for a stay!

The location was excellent and the house had lots of charm and unique features. The view is amazing and the facilities are good.

First off, the location is SPECTACULAR! Right across from the Gravensteen castle, it is in an incredible location. And you can walk to much of the city from here. The apartment itself is on multiple levels and has a surprising amount of space. It's in an historic building which appears to be over 250 years old. Again, very memorable. Lastly, the host was great at communication and seemed very nice.

A couple of relative minor things to note here. For one, the upstars bedroom is accessed via a very steep set of stairs/ladder that may not be suitable for all guests (particularly those who are older or have any mobility issues). Lastly (admittedly a minor quibble), for some reason the one shower lacks any sort of a shower curtain or privacy. This may cause some consternation for some and could be easily remedied by the host. Aside from this, the place was spectacular!

The property is breathtaking and it is in an incredible location, so close to town but yet remarkably peaceful. Very close to great bars and restaurants with stunning views from the house windows of the castle. Lydia is a very generous host and left shower gel, towels, soap and everything we needed was at the house. The kitchen is very well equipped too.

Everything was incredible and Lydia was very helpful.

The apartment is located in an old house with all windows looking to the medieval Gravensteen castle. It is spread on three levels , Kitcken and dinning , living and up in the attic the bedroom. It is decorated with historic and artistic flair but having all modern facilities the modern traveler might need ( including washer and dish washer). It was a beautiful surprise for a short vacation as was town Ghent itself .

Stairs up and down the apartment were challenging for us, travellers of a third age , but were part of the beauty of this location

We were emailed a code several days prior to arrival. The door code worked perfectly.

The living areas were clean, but the walls and carpeting were showing signs of wear. But overall cleanliness was good. The stairs to top were steep, as stated by the owner so I just slept on sofa and was quite comfortable. It was really not a problem.
