About this place The Hide

The Hide is a small mainstream guesthouse at Nederkouter 134 in Ghent, on the street running south from the historic centre towards the university district. It is listed as gay-friendly; older descriptions called it a gay hotel, but nothing in the data supports that. Guest ratings are high but based on a fairly small number of reviews. The Korenmarkt, Graslei and the medieval centre are about a 10 to 15-minute walk, and trams run along this stretch. Ghent's few gay bars are mostly near the centre. Check thehide.be for room types and check-in arrangements, since small properties often have no 24-hour reception.

The ground-floor apartment is modern and well-equipped. The bedroom is located on a mezzanine. On the second floor: living room, kitchenette, and shared terrace. - One star for the entrance and bathroom doors that are difficult to open, some lamps that don't work (living room and dining room), dusty bed rails, and the spicy/woody scent of the toiletries. - One star for the noise from the cleaning staff chatting early in the morning. Since there are no rules about silence, some guests don't hesitate to call out to each other at 4:00 a.m.! Or to have fun ringing the bell at the shared entrance. Is it really a good idea to invite guests to ring this bell knowing that some people don't respect the peace and quiet of others? A somewhat disappointing experience.

The soundproofing is terrible; you can hear the other residents, especially on Saturday when a group arrived and made noise until 3 or 4 in the morning. You had to be careful with the toilet paper if you didn't want to run out. One light wasn't working, and I had to unplug another because it was sparking. As soon as you open the building's front door, there's this kind of overpowering potpourri smell.

Great accomodation and location.. a late check in and wasn’t ready. Missing coffee pods and one toilet roll.. easily sorted the next day but a review is a review
