The location and view are fantastic. You're right in the middle of the city center. You can't ask for a better view. Our room was very big and comfortable, warm and cozy. Staff is friendly.

The hotel location is awesome, smack dab in the middle of a beautiful part of the city. The hotel is rather elegant and the rooms are well appointed and appropriately sized for 1898.

The location was perfect for exploring beautiful Ghent. The historic building had so much character which was also shown in the rooms themselves. The staff were very friendly and helpful. It was very well soundproofed as looked onto a really busy square with Christmas markets and we couldn’t hear anything! Loved the curtains as well, fully blackout! And the bed was large and really comfortable, with a big tv. They offer a parking space if you ask which is really useful.

The hotel has a superb charm, with its stunning old-world design and beautiful attention to detail throughout every space – from the hallways to the breakfast area. Each corner feels thoughtfully crafted, blending elegance with character. The staff were incredibly warm and relaxed, adding to the welcoming atmosphere. Overall, a wonderfully enjoyable stay with plenty of personality.

The location of the hotel is perfect. It's as downtown as it gets and there's a taxi stand next to the hotel. The rooms are very comfortable and the beds have good and comfy pillows! The staff is very friendly. We got a lot of information on Ghent drawn on a map. It also is a cozy place with a beautiful bar and another space to hang out that has an honesty bar. Around the hotel there are lots of restaurants and other food options.

Beautiful interesting boutique hotel in the middle of Ghent. High end but with no pretense. Staff was amazing from assisting us with luggage to helping us add a night to our planned stay. Every single staff member we encountered was friendly and engaging. The breakfast is perfect. Made to order hot food (eggs, bacon, veggies) in addition to latge buffet spread with croissants, yogurt, fruit, cakes etc… They allowed us to store our luggage after checkout which was wonderful! Definitely recommend.

This hotel is truly special. Attention to detail is astonishing to the extant I rarely ever seen. This is proper 5 star hotel. Location wise , it can’t get any better in Ghent. The shower was in the second floor of my room, which was a nice touch.

Could not fault the experience at all. From the moment we arrived to when we left the staff were attentive and could not do enough to help. If you are driving, we recommend you request a parking spot. The hotel has reserved spaces in the underground car park a short walk away. We stayed in a duplex room with the bathroom upstairs which was a lovely feature. Location amazing for exploring Ghent. Can not recommend it highly enough

Perfectly located in the center of Ghent, the 1898 The Post was a great place to stay and see the city and its surroundings. Located near tram lines that can take you around the city and to the train station (Gent-Sint-Pieters) the hotel is within blocks of several of key sights, so you are able to walk and experience historic Ghent right outside your door. The setup of our room utilized the unique building, giving the maximum amount of space even in our smaller room (letter) which was decorated in a way that is photo shoot worthy and tied back to the building's history. Additionally, the staff is amazing and helped us extend our stay as we were able to secure a visit to the Huyghe Brewery (Delirium Tremens) which is only a short train ride away from Ghent.

All the staff were excellent and couldn't do enough for you. Being right in the centre of Ghent there was easy walking access to all the locations. The breakfast was excellent and hot food cooked on the spot if required, however, the choice for the continental breakfast was more than enough.
