1898 The Post

We spent about 2 weeks in 3 different countries for our summer holiday, and staying in this hotel was the absolute highlight of the trip! We stayed in the tower suite, and it was a complete dream come true. The view of the city from the room is unmatched, the romance of it all was just overwhelming. The staff was absolutely lovely and SO helpful.

The hotel is situated right in the middle of Gent, making it easy to walk anywhere in the beautiful city. The staff were super nice and accommodating, including the awesome bartenders at The Cobbler. Highly recommend staying here if you visit.

Absolutely GEM of a hotel!! This hotel, as you can probably tell from the name that it is in an old post office. It is a bit quite difficult to get to. We did take a taxi, but found out the entrance for guests is around the back on the cobblestone. You will need to go up to an elevator to find the lobby. The inside of the hotel is very cool, and very themed towards the old post office vibe that it used to be. The staff at the front desk is very nice and accommodating, and they will walk you to your room and show you everything. We had a room that was a king bed loft style, with the bathroom on the second level. They had cocktails little treats and stuff in the mini bar in the room. The bed was very comfortable. The windows opened up and looked out right into the city center. Wow it was beautiful and the perfect location!!! There are plenty of things within walking distance to the hotel, including the Castle, bars and restaurants, the river bus stop tram stop, etc. The hotel has an on-site bar and restaurant. We had a few cocktails from the bar. It was super cozy and a really good time! It appeared a lot of people from the city were there so it was a highly sought after bar to go to. They also had an honor bar you could pour your own glass and relax. Overall I really recommend staying at the post even if it’s a little bit more expensive it’s totally worth it!!
