Super stylish and cozy. Spotless clean. Welcoming and friendly staff. Good breakfast. Parking is widely available at the P10 Sint-Pietersplein parking garage nearby for 9.50 euro per day (located in a low emission zone, free online registration at lez.stad.gent is required). Good location, less than 20 minutes by foot from main city attractions. Free tea and coffee available throughout the day in the lobby.

It is an old building, so sound proofing is not the best, but it was relaxing and quiet in the room nonetheless. As many already wrote - the stairs are quite steep, also not an issue - I'd still book a top floor next time, but keep it in mind when planning your trip.

We really enjoyed our stay. There was good communication and we could access our room without difficulty. We hadn't realised that it would be self-check in and had anticipated the owner/staff being present but there weren't any difficulties and when we did see them, the staff at breakfast were lovely and very helpful. Coffee and tea making facilities & water were available in the foyer room, which is also where a very nice breakfast was served in the mornings. An honesty bar was also available. There are steep stairs to the bedrooms. Being unmanned it could feel strange to be just in a room in this house but there were other people staying when we were there. The foyer was nicely decorated and the building also looks pretty and welcoming from the street as well as inside.I would have preferred a kettle and cups in the bedroom to avoid having to climb steep stairs with boiling water in paper cups. Also, mugs would have been more practical and safer than paper cups for hot tea. Sometimes there was no water in the shared kettle and the cups also ran out so that was a nuisance. Otherwise we were happy! Thank you B&B Achilles for a lovely stay.

This is a gorgeous B&B. The rooms are huge, with very comfortable beds and luxury bathrooms. The USB ports by the bed are a great touch. Breakfast was lovely, with plenty available and the staff are very accommodating. I was able to leave my luggage for the day after checking out and a member of staff kindly rang me a taxi to the station after I returned for it. The breakfast area is nice and there is tea and coffee available for free all day.

It was a 20-30 minute walk to the centre but this wasn’t too bad as it’s very flat and you have the benefit of it being quiet in the evenings. A kettle in the room would have been nice for drinks in the evening without having to go downstairs, but again this wasn’t too much bother.

One of the nicest hotels/B&Bs - everything beautifully presented; our room (we were in "Charm") was spacious, well-designed and very comfortable, with a stunning bathroom, and the staff are delightful. Fantastic breakfast - we had continental, but were offered eggs or waffles, or whatever we wanted. Plus for whenever you want it there is Nespresso-type coffee machine in the lobby, where you can sit and relax, browse the guide books that are on the shelves. The B&B is on a pleasant, leafy street, with a local cafe for lunch just a few yards away. We'll be back as soon as we can!

I can't think of a thing.

The breakfast was good in a very pleasant dining area - the usual continental selection; they very helpfully provided me with gluten free bread which was much appreciated. The staff were very pleasant & helpful The quiet location was about a 20-25 minute walk from the historic centre, but we had a car which was a constraint so we had to have parking nearby. The parking was convenient, with the first day free (a Sunday) & then a safe underground car park was conveniently situated only a couple of minutes walk away. We really enjoyed visiting Ghent and were very happy with our choice of accommodation

Personally not that keen on a (frosted) glass partition to the bathroom & loo, although may just be me as didn't bother my partner

We received a warm welcome, the reception seating area had some welcome chocolate and really delicious soft chocolate chop biscuits which were a lovely treat. The gentleman who greeted us on a Friday when we arrived and also served us at breakfast was extremely helpful and attentive throughout our stay (we really wish we'd asked for his name). The bed was comfy and the room was spacious and well designed with everything we needed. The accommodation is only about a 15 minute walk to the town centre mainly down one straight road. Breakfast was good, the croissants were soft and slightly warm along with the assortment of bread. Overall we had a great weekend stay and will definitely be rebooking when we next visit Gent.

Only issue was that our shower wasn't that powerful but we suspect that was because we were in the romance room which was on the top floor. However the temperature was good.

Thanks a lot for the incredible staff of B&B. From the first second of our stay they provided excellent service, were very careful to our needs, welcomed with a cup of coffee and recommended nice places in the neighborhood and parking spaces. The room and hall looked gorgeous. Very clean, bright, silent and well-equipped. Was such a pleasure to stay there! Downstairs there were water, coffee machine and teapot, available any time. Even some table games and books:) Breakfasts were also great. We'll definitely come back next time!

Enjoyed literally everything! Thank you for such a warm welcome.

I went to Ghent to attend a conference. My time at Achilles was just superb. The staff was friendly and attentive, rooms clean and luxurious. Loved the detail of the complimentary coffee, water and tea, plus the honesty bar. Room was very confortable, check in great, no complaints really. Will stay here again when I am back

Breakfast was very nice, with fruits, speciality coffees, fresh juice, eggs and more... but would have appreciated if there is a menu with what was offered (e.g. types of eggs) so the guests don't feel the urge to go for the same eggs they know every day.

The main thing we liked was the exceptionally friendly staff who welcomed and looked after us during our short stay. The room was pleasant with plenty of space and kept very clean. We enjoyed the breakfast which offered a nice variety of cold and hot food as well as freshly squeezed orange juice.

For us, the location could have been better - great if you want to be in the student quarter but a good 15 to 20 minute walk from the main sights in the centre. We found the towels and sheets to be a bit sub standard for the price, and we would have preferred a door to the bathroom that wasn’t see through ;-).

I cannot recommend B&B Achilles highly enough; we have just had a wonderful few days in Ghent, and this accommodation was exceptional, possibly the nicest room we have ever stayed in. It was a complete joy to return there each day after enjoying the wonders of Ghent. We received a really warm welcome and the staff were all kind and chatty and helpful throughout our stay. The breakfast was amazing; a selection of Continental treats and optional extra choices of pancakes, eggs cooked to your liking and yoghurt, granola and berries. Complimentary bottled water, and hot drinks available in the lounge. There was also an honesty bar with wines and gins. The room was sleek and modern, pale carpets, scandi style, beautiful spacious bathroom and shower. An absolute pleasure to stay here ; thank you B&B Achilles; a wonderful experience.

Nothing!
