    The best and worst parts

    The location was superb and so central! Friendly staff made sure to inform us about convenient parking options outside the city, enhancing our overall experience.

    The rooms were disappointingly small, affecting comfort. Additionally, noise from the street and other guests occasionally interrupted our rest.

    The breakfast was first class—huge choice of hot and cold food! Location was top-notch, steps from the castle. Just wish the access was easier for those with mobility issues. 😅

    Gravensteen boasts a fantastic location right near the city center, making it easy to explore major attractions. The room was clean and well maintained with a comfy bed, tea and coffee facilities, and a lovely view of the castle. The staff were responsive, assisting promptly with any inquiries. The bar remained open until 2 AM, providing a great option to unwind after a busy day.

    elegant design
    modern bathrooms
    small rooms

    The hotel has an elegant older building design that adds a unique charm, along with comfortable, modern bathrooms with the toilet separately located. There’s an elevator for easy access to upper floors, which is a bonus when hauling bags.

    Rooms can be quite small. my friends had a lovely view of the castle while I overlooked a parking lot. I also found the windows lacking effective mosquito screens, resulting in a furious battle against the bugs. Additionally, the breakfast was a letdown—hot items didn’t stay hot, and the scrambled eggs were tired and cold.

    spacious room
    comfy beds
    big bathroom
    slow wi-fi
    minimal storage

    The Executive Double or Twin Room was super spacious and had comfy beds that made sleep easy. The big bathroom was a nice touch, too. I loved having tea/coffee making facilities and a fridge for drinks. It was clean and well taken care of daily. A little annoying was the slow Wi-Fi, but everything else made up for it. Great that the room was quiet despite being near the breakfast area, too!

    spacious bathroom
    impressive breakfast spread
    noise issue

    Had an absolutely delightful stay at the Gravensteen! The location is prime, just a stone's throw from the castle, making it easy to explore the beautiful old town. The room was impeccably clean, and the spacious bathroom caught my attention. Plus, the breakfast spread was impressive with a rich variety of options to fuel a busy day of sightseeing.

    Minor noise issues.
