Bed & Breakfast Big Sleep

The best place we've stayed in recent memory, or maybe ever. I never write online reviews, but this place deserves it! The host is warm, welcoming and gracious, the room and bed were wonderful, and we spent our mornings eating fresh breads with homemade jams at a large breakfast table full of other interesting people! The location is just far enough from the center to be peaceful, but still close enough for a quick walk almost anywhere, and the price for all this was very reasonable. If this is the kind of B&B experience you're looking for (and why wouldn't it be!?), stay here.

A handsome four-storey historic property, lovingly restored and filled with books, artifacts and other personal touches. We got a very warm welcome from Michaëla and Erik. The breakfast was sensational: the communal table piled high with high-quality breads, cheeses and other goodies, several of them homemade. The windows blocked out the noise from the street. Kiosko just over the road was fun for drinks and Michaëla has a list of great places to eat.

I spent a lovely week in Gent, staying at Michaëla's guest house. It is conveniently located near to Gent-Dampoort railway station, and the historic city center is only a 10-15 minute walk. The room was comfortable, the breakfast was excellent and Michaëla and Erik made me feel very welcome.

We spent four nights at this elegant period house overlooking a canal and in a low traffic area about 15-20 minutes easy walk from the centre of Ghent. It is very near Dampoort Station and there are frequent buses to and from the centre. Michaela was an ideal host: she provided an exceptional continental breakfast with a wide choice of food, home-made preserves and eggs cooked to order. She was available to talk and gave us helpful information. More than that, we felt we learnt something from her about actually living in Ghent. Our bedroom on the second floor was large and quirkily and comfortably furnished. The only drawback for some might be that the loos are across the corridor.

The best B&B we have ever been! Michaela and her family are super attentive and sweet. A beautiful house, decorated in worldly style.The rooms are large and clean. We slept perfect, dark in the morning, not too hot. Soft beds, a place to sit, and attached shower. We loved the pool, we were lucky to have nice weather. Breakfast was abundant, good coffee! The city center is a 5 min walk, but quiet in the night. We even parked for free closed by. This is a top 10 location for the city of Gent for anybody visiting. We had a great time and are definitely coming back!

Michaëla and Erik are marvelous people. They were very friendly and we could have long talks. Their house is fantastic and the room with Vietnamese decoration very comfortable. The homemade breakfast with different kind of Belgian cheeses, daily breads, fruit jams, fruits, cereals, thees was superb. We realy enjoyed our stay in Michaëla and Erik house. Definately we recommend their bed and breakfast.

I had an absolutely lovely week with Michaëla and her family. Breakfasts were amazing, with delicious coffee, homemade jam, fresh breads, and a kind attention my food allergies. Room was clean and comfortable. Street is quiet and beautiful, only about a 15-min walk to city center. Will definitely stay here again if I ever make it back to Ghent. Thank you, Michaëla!

This is a b&b located in a historic town house, and it's beautiful. The rooms are large, with high ceilings, clean, airy, ours having a view of the swimming pool (which is kept warm all year round so you can take a dip in it whenever you like). Michaela is an excellent host, and a lovely person. When we come to Gent again, we will stay here again.
