B&B The Verhaegen

There are hotels/ BnBs, and then there is the Verhaegen! It doesn't just offer you a comfortable place to stay, but a piece of Ghent's history. An experience in itself, this place is undoubtedly one of the most unique accommodations. Housed in a well preserved 17th century mansion, the interiors exude panache and are tastefully decorated to reflect the same. The owners, interior designers by craft, have done a great job in this regard. The service is pleasant and personal, with Jan & Marc offering valuable suggestions on discovering Ghent. Breakfast in the beautiful dining hall (probably the most beautiful part of the property) is something not to be missed. There is a lovely garden, which is impeccably maintained. In short, it's like experiencing a different era on a short time-machine trip. To anyone thinking about staying at the Verhaegen, please do without a second thought!! You will not regret it. PS: There is also a lovely canine, adding to the charm of the property!

Fantastic B&B in the heart of Ghent! Jan & Marc are wonderful hosts. Breakfast is a must and enjoy the garden at sunset. I have stayed in hotels all over the world The Verhaegen is at the top of my list.

Superb location, close to great bakeries and restaurants. Absolutely stunning rooms and great bathtub in the suite. Probably the most beautiful hotel I’ve ever stayed at.

We had a wonderful getaway for five nights at the Verhaegen. I selected the B&B because I love historic buildings. The Verhaegen did not disappoint. The aesthetic of the guest room and common areas is so inviting and interesting. My only regret is that we did not have warmer weather to enjoy the french garden! We stayed in the deluxe room with a spacious bathroom with soaking tub. The bed was comfortable with nice linens. I really appreciated the complementary in room espresso. Every aspect of the service (check-in, breakfast, housekeeping) exceeded expectations. Thank you to Tomba, Jan and Marc for your warm hospitality!

Such a beautiful place! Thank you for the lovely stay and incredible hospitality — I had the best time. Tomba (the dog) matching the dog seen in the paintings on the wall made my day, which I didn’t think could be topped after the unreal breakfast. I will definitely be back 💘🐶

For us, it was the perfect place to stay for a few nights before Christmas. It is original and interesting, with charming and very helpful hosts. An elegant mansion, decorated with style, and a wonderful collection of china. The dining room is a truly beautiful room; breakfast is a real delight, with the very best espresso possible in the most divine cup. Service was superb and friendly.|Our room was delightful; bed extremely comfortable. The location is perfect; very close to the heart of Ghent, but happily slightly removed from the crowds. I can imagine that the lovely garden is an oasis of peace in warmer weather. I would not want to stay anywhere else. Initially we had tried to book into The Post Office, but there was no availability. We were so pleased that we came here instead and I would recommend it as a first choice to everyone.

This is such a a fabulous place to stay. My wife and I have loved our 3 nights here. The outstanding quality of the house, the wonderful hosts and great location really made our whole experience here a joy.

Dishonest and way too expensive for what it is. We booked a room for 380 euros and ended up paying much more for it. We stayed in The Verhaegen for one night and booked a room for 2 adults and 2 children. I reserved via the telephone and I received an e-mail confirmation with the total cost of the room including the baby cot and an extra bed for a child specified on the reservation at no additional cost. The total cost of the room with the extra beds on the reservation was 380. However, at check out we were asked to pay 75 euros for the baby cot and the extra bed although it was never specified that there are any extra costs. On the contrary, the reservation confirmation specifically had no extra costs added for them. This way of proceeding is simply dishonest. Similarly, the parking was also quite expensive and there was no prior mention of the cost. Breakfast is also way overpriced. All in all, not a nice experience although the building itself is beautiful but unfortunately the lack of honesty of the hosts takes its toll.
