We had an amazing 3 night stay at De Waterzooi in mid May, and we honestly wish we had booked longer! From the moment we arrived, our hosts, Kay and Christian, made us feel incredibly welcome. Their warmth and kindness elevated our visit into something truly special. The suite we stayed in (The Felix) was immaculate. It was located on the 2nd floor (the 3rd floor in US terms) and was beautifully furnished. The living area is in a separate room from the bedroom, which was very nice. And speaking of the bedroom, the bed itself is one of those motion beds where you can adjust the height and position, and the linens were definitely high end! Needless to say, we slept incredibly well. It had a very large balcony that overlooked the courtyard, with the three towers visible in the background just over the adjacent roofs. Every detail felt carefully considered, creating a space that was both sophisticated and comfortable. The suite was equipped with literally everything we could possibly need. We even realized we needed a pair of scissors at one point, and lo and behold, there we found a pair in the suite! The location is unbeatable with awesome views, as the property is directly in front of the castle. It does not get much better than that! What stood out most, however, were our hosts. At check in, rather than the usual rigmarole, we joined another couple who were just arriving from England and enjoyed coffee, tea and some treats together while Kay shared the history of the area and the building. She also gave us helpful hints for getting around town, while Christian brought our luggage up to our suite. Their recommendations and personal touches made our visit unforgettable. They have created a place that feels both sophisticated and welcoming, and it shows in every aspect of the experience. Quite simply, everything was perfect. If you’re visiting Ghent, I can not imagine a better place to stay. We would return in an instant and highly recommend De Waterzooi to anyone looking for a memorable and flawless experience.
