An unforgettable night in the heart of Ghent.

Who we are

Welcome to Geertje Henckens' Bed & Breakfast, a guest-house in the middle of Ghent’s bustling city centre. The B&B is part of a former convent, where you can still marvel at historical details such as the 15th century wall paintings. Traditional limewash techniques are used to create an exotic and colourful atmosphere both inside and out. Bric-à-brac market discoveries awaken new life in past treasures and add further colour to the interior. Enjoy a delicious, fresh and generous breakfast in the peace of the cosy breakfast room! The courtyard is a tiny jungle of luscious greenery where, in the company of twittering birds, the pressure of the town is quickly forgotten.
