Violet Suites

All in all, our stay was extremely pleasant and our host was extremely helpful and friendly.

Pros: It was extremely comfortable and offered excellent amenities. The kitchen was of a really good standard and generously stocked. It was easy to find our way around Ghent from Violet Suites.

Cons: Our bedroom did not have a window, so lack of fresh air was a bit of a problem.

Comfortable and clean accommodation around 15 minutes walk to the centre

Pros: Comfortable room large bed roomy shower and owner was there when we arrived who was very helpful and knowledgeable regarding the history of Ghent.

Cons: Upgraded but not sure what we got for the extra paid. There was a small terrace but did not use.

Pros: Wonderful place. Clean, comfortable and quiet. The rooms are really beautiful and there is a shared communal kitchen space outside the rooms equipped with most things you’d need. The hosts are also exceptionally lovely. Great location, only 10 min walk to city centre.

Cons: N/A!

We enjoyed our stay, very happy with the welcoming and informative host.

Pros: Very nice host, clean, location at walking distance from city centre, comfy bed. Shared Kitchen area with fruits and drinks.

Cons: The ensuite bathroom area is nice and clean, but built inside the room (wooden structure) so a bit noisy (opening and closing the toilet door) for your ‘roommate’ if you have to get up at night.

Ghent stay in good location.

Pros: Located in Ghent this stay provided a good starting point to explore the city. The room was large and a common area had a fridge, snacks, and table and chairs seating. Fruit and snacks were a welcome addition. Coffee maker was available in our room and in the common area. Parking g was available for a cost. Keeping in touch with our host we were met on the street at our late arrival and walked to our parking area. This was especially helpful as the streets are a bit confusing.

Cons: We did drive around the block a couple of times trying to locate Violet Suites. Street parking was difficult to find as we searched. If we did not have data on our phone we would have struggled to connect with the host as the suites are on an upper floor.

Modern designer accommodation

Pros: Friendly welcome from Herman. Our suite Violet 3 was modern and clean. Loved the design. Communal kitchen had fridge, tea and coffee facilities and snacks. Ten mins walk to the beautiful centre of Ghent. Nice coffee shop called catberry nearby .

Good base for short stay in Gent

Pros: Good location to access centre of town but quiet area. Owner provided helpful suggestions regarding restaurants/things to see. Rooms were very dimply furnished but large and our room had access to a small courtyard. Bed was large and comfortable and there was access to a shared kitchen

Cons: I couldn’t get the cooktop to work so a few basic instructions would have been helpful for it and oven - thought I am sure there was probably a manual if I’d looked. Pastries were provided for breakfast one day but not the next

Spacious

Pros: The space of the accomodation was lovely and the terrace was a bonus.

Cons: The steps leading to the terrace. They were a little precarious.

Had a great, comfortable and easy stay at Violet Suites. Els was a fantastic host.

Pros: The design, the comfort, personal touches. Lovely treats in communal kitchen, fresh filtered water in fridge. Nice and quiet too.

Pros: Everything was wonderful. The host was very kind and gave us a lot of information on how to get around Ghent, what to do there and what to see. The apartment was clean and had everything we needed during our short city break. The location was great, close to the city centre and public transport. We would highly recommend this apartment and would definitely return.
