B&B de Waterzooi

We stayed in the lodge , it is in a great location , central but remarkably quiet. Lots of nice touches and information from the owners and a beatifully designed apar**ent . Hope to be back and Ghent is a lovely place to visit

Christian and Kay are hands down the best innkeepers we have ever stayed with! The front door was a bit tricky to find as it was hidden in the middle of a restaurant seating (we walked by it several times.) But once we were inside we didn't want to leave. The whole building is absolutely beautiful and you cannot beat the location literally steps from the Gravensteen Castle. So glad we got the 1st floor suite as our legs were so tired after walking all day long. But it was the little touches too that set them apart. There was a small fridge with water and drinks for us during our stay which was appreciated as it was unseasonably warm. We were so tired one morning and slept in so Kay left a tray of breakfast outside our door for us. And she cared so much about a baby pigeon that had built a nest outside our window and kept checking on it (along with us) during our stay. Wonderful comfy bed, relaxing living room, all the amenities and the best breakfast with homemade yogurt, fresh juices and pastries every day. She does not let you go hungry. Overall we recommend De Waterzooi to anyone who visits Ghent and can't wait to return.

We were fortunate enough to book 'The Lodge' - a 3 story 2 bedroom house from medieval times. Directly facing the Gravensteijn Castle and above a Belgium Waffle & Pancake business. (ooh the smells 😊) The place is incredible, and very authentic with all mod-cons available. The owners have taken great care in preserving the original features and added some useful modern touches. I will let the pictures speak for themselves. Highly Recommended.

This is a completely charming boutique hotel. We were in the room at the very top with views over the castle at the front, and over the medieval rooftops at the back. I sat on the balcony with a glass of wine and felt I was starring in my very own movie. The bed was extremely comfortable and the breakfast sensational. This really is a very special, personal, unusual place to stay.

We stayed in the De Waterzooi Lodge for two nights. The Lodge is amazing - the decor, the amenities, the location, the comfort - everything. Kay and Christian have thought of everything, right down to the last detail. It's probably the best self-catering apar**ent we have ever stayed in. There stairs might be a problem for those with a disability but are not unmanageable for most. If you want to stay in Ghent, then De Waterzooi (either the B&B or Lodge), are wonderful for location alone and they are hosted by the nicest, most helpful people, Kay and Christian.

Right in the heart of Gent a precious hide-away with parking facility! Kay and Christian are the loviest hosts you can imagine, with a smile and a joke they offer you an exquisite breakfast with a gorgeous view at the garden. We stayed in the upper suite with 2 double beds, perfect sleep with extra pillows. The decoration through the entire B&B is overwelming and delicate, great taste. Also enjoyed the sunset at our terrace, view at the 4 church towers. All in the walking vicinity of shopping area, loads of bars and restaurants, Patershol and opposite the castle Gravensteen, we will go back, will you go?
