Great location and a great vibe consistent with the historic town setting. Hotel has a first class bar and breakfast was very good. It is a unique hotel with the shower and bathroom sink built in a loft above the main bedroom with the toilet area on the first floor. Outside noise is a little loud as well but overall would highly recommend this place.

We really enjoyed our stay at 1898 The Post. We stayed in a "Postcard" room, which was small but comfortable and very charmingly decorated. I don't know if all the Postcard rooms are laid out the same way, but ours had the shower/bathroom sink in an upstairs loft area, and the toilet in a separate small closet downstairs near the bed and desk. This was not a problem for us, but might be for others who have difficulty with stairs. Very convenient location near the Gravensteen Castle. We didn't avail ourselves of the breakfast, but we did have a drink in The Cobbler bar, which was very nice! The staff was very friendly and professional. Would recommend this hotel and Ghent generally to anyone visiting Belgium!
