I was going to give 1 star review for the property but the breakfast was actually good, so 2 stars overall. Everything is very old in the hotel. We got a room on the 3rd floor. No elevator, nobody to help with the luggage. Beds squeak whenever you move. No air-conditioning. If you open the window, too much noise from outside. Garbage truck comes at 6:30 and for 15 min there is banging.

The hotel is in a very good location, close to many of the main attractions, shopping and dining areas. The hotel itself is an old building which has been decorated in keeping with its age. The staff are friendly and welcoming. The room was large, clean and had all the facilities I needed. I would definitely stay at this hotel again.

Historic old hotel
Decent hotel in a very old house. The medieval ambiance was interesting. No lift, so long flight of stairs to climb. Family room was very spacious. Great breakfast included in the morning.

A perfect base for exploring the city. Erasmus Hotel is centrally and conveniently located, just a few minutes' walk from Tram No.1 for easy access to and from Gent Sint Pieters Station, to UZ Gent and beyond. The Hotel was quiet, and comfortable, managed by a convivial Host and his team.Thank you for a memorable stay.

The hotel is lovely and easy walking to all the sites. My room was ready early so they let me check in. Also, I left my converter plug at home, but they had one there that they gave me. Breakfast was also lovely. Eggs to order, cereal, toast, waffles, meats and cheese.

Loved the quirky historic character of this hotel, which has wonderfully central location, and the staff were excellent. The huge bedroom overlooking the garden was amazing but needs better lighting (as does the dining room) and some furniture was a bit tired; the drapes over the bed were also a bit dusty. Good breakfast in a beautiful room, but the unless you have a table by the window the light is rather gloomy, especially in early February. Would love to return in the summer!

Old house, small quiet hotel with great location
This hotel is in an old house,with a good location near historic area. It is not elegant, but the staff are great, the breakfast is free (and excellent) and I would recommend it for individuals and families who want a small quiet place to stay. There is no elevator, however. As I found everywhere in Belgium, the staff all speak English and are happy to use it with visitors.

Great location with very friendly and helpful staff. The location and easy walk to the river and historical Old Town makes this a desirable place to stay. Clean, comfortable room, the kind one expects in a typical European bed and breakfast hotel.

Historical building in convenient location
Very convenient location, in historical city center close to Het Pand (where my conference was held). Period building with clean room and quiet, but dated furnishings. There is no lift (you may need to walk up to 3 stories to your room and so it may not be suitable for travelers with heavy luggage).Excellent Breakfast and friendly staff, fluent in English (I arrived early because of 8am flight arrival, and they gave me the room before 10am, which is something that large chains like the Marriott hotel across the road rarely does!). Very convenient (There is an Italian restaurant a few steps next to the hotel with excellent dinner).

Nice Hotel, Could Be a Little Cleaner
The staff here were lovely, the location is an easy walk to the historic center and the breakfast was good! I'd stay here again, but for those a little pickier, some items are dated and had stains. The light above my bed, which was low enough that I bumped it standing near the bed, had a serious coat of dust on the top (reachable by me easily, so shouldn't be difficult to clean) and the bathroom fan was dropping dust bunnies on the back of the toilet. Other than those two things, I saw no signs anything else was unclean though.

Beautiful hotel with amazing staff
Outstanding hotel. I travel all over the world and this hotel is at the top. Staff is very friendly and helpful. They know fluent English. Rooms are very clean. Hotel is located right in the middle of everything requiring a short walk. Breakfast was delicious and good variety. Hotel is very old so history buffs would love that.

Good experience
The hotel is located in a very central location, the single room was rather spacious and fitted my expectations. The breakfast was tasty and served in a very nice room. The only minor shortcomings are the lack of an elevator and the bathroom which was not convenient to use if you want to take a shower
