Hotel Shamon

The Hotel Boutique Shamon is a wonderful property, lovingly restored by our hosts. We received a very warm welcome from the owner who was understandably very proud of her restoration of the property. Whilst the renovation is perhaps not complete, it certainly is near to completion and the property is a wonderful sight outside, and more impressive inside. Our room was on the top floor and very spacious, clean and in keeping with the property. There is an "honesty" bar process which means you can grab a drink and sit outside or in the front sitting room. Breakfast was wonderful and we could not have been made to feel more welcome. It's a 20 minute walk down a fairly uninspiring road to get to the centre where there is a varied choice of bars and restaurants. If we are in the area again, we would not hesitate to return.

Really nice hotel! Historical building, however renovated rooms with amenities from Rituals. In other hand, the acoustics is naturally not the best - you can easily hear sounds from other rooms. Please pay attention to checkin time; they follow strictly the time - no early checkin around one hour before. Besides that, the service there is really good and you feel welcome all the time.

We stayed one night at this place and we will definitely be not coming back! Spent the whole night trying to put the heating off, putting the AC on, and ended up not sleeping. When you try to put the AC on - the heater works even harder! We have informed the owner at check out and he tells us he can’t do anything for us! We slept at 24 degrees! We are definitely not coming back… a shame! We chose the place because we thought it would be nice to experience the surroundings of Ghent, but unfortunately we had a horrible experience.
