We stayed in Ghent for one night and wanted a spacious bed and breakfast for three people in the center of Ghent. We found it at Alphabed (also called Loftsuite) . The owner has to be called when you arrive and he gives you a code to get in. Don't let that throw you! It is very secure on a... More

I stayed in two different rooms (Riante kamer and Romantische kamer) in this bed and breakfast during three nights. Both rooms were clean and elegant. There is a big dancing school in the street, but it was very quiet all the time. Marc, the owner, is a very nice and friendly host. I did not try the breakfast, as the... More

Alphabed is my B&B of choice in Gent. I've stayed in each of the rooms and each has a comfy bed and pillows, a good shower and a nice Samsung TV and one of the rooms has a bath. Alphabed is situated in a quiet side street with virtually no through traffic yet is only a 5 min walk from... More

Roll out of bed straight into the centre of Ghent. Oh wait, you forgot the breakfast. It's light but hearty enough to keep you going till lunch and it's served in a beautiful/rustic little kitchen. Our room (Riante kamer) was at the front of the house but the street must be the most quiet in Ghent, too small for traffic... More

I had four long workdays ahead of me in Ghent, Belgium, and therefore booked a few nights at Alphabed. - the room: I was in the 'riante kamer' ('exquisite room'), on the second floor. I loved the bed and the fluffy pillows, there was a big flatscreen tv mounted on the wall opposite of it. The bath room was fully... More

Convenient, quiet location (near St Bavo's cathedral, famous for the "Lamb of God" Van Eyck altarpiece). The rooms are all of a reasonable size (and all have en suite facilities despite some bizarre reviews elsewhere on this site); however they differ in style of decoration and some are bigger than others; use the information on the Alphabed web site to...

alphabed is really well located in gent. it's very charming, but a little bit dusty (don't check under the bed). the romantic room is on the ground floor, but it's very quiet. i didn't meet marc, but jonane was very kind and helpful. i would, for sure, stay there again.

Like others I had read the reviews in Trip Advisor. My only complaint for the Alpha was not having received the door entry code before I arrived. I enjoyed my stay very much. The bed was wonderful, I slept like a rock. The night I arrived in Ghent/Gent the weather was cold and blowing winds. At the train station, there... More

My husband and I recently travelled to Belgium from NY. We spent our first night in Gent at Alphabed and had a wonderful experience. The house was perfectly situated, minutes from the center of town, yet hidden away on a very quite street. The house had the perfect mix of chic, comfort and good taste while also being an exceptional... More

When I arrived, as arranged, I did not know about the key code. Why Marc did not email it beforehand I don't know. My phone was flat, I had no change, public phones were thin on the ground anyway, it was a dark rainy evening after a day's travel- not a great start. Fortunately I found someone who let me... More
