The Commissioner
★★★★★a month agoThe Post was amazing; plus, it's expanding to more canal view rooms. We stayed on the city-view side which was very nice. There were food trucks on the weekend but any noise didn't negatively effect the quality of the room. Fun to see a busy market place. Great accommodations and service. Staff let us look around and choose a room upgrade, so we took the "Letter Room." The shower was upstairs, which is not uncommon but the "loo" was on the main level. The mini bar was well stocked and the Post had a balloon and treats ready for our 40th wedding anniversary.

★★★★★a month agoThis was the best hotel experience of my life. From the moment we arrived, the staff went out of their way to make sure we felt welcome and our every need was met. The room (Letter) was beautiful and truly unique with the shower upstairs. It felt spacious and was well appointed. We left an item in the room after checkout and the hotel contacted us, providing multiple options for its return. The Cobbler cocktail bar was another standout feature. The bartenders obviously have a passion for their craft. I asked about local liquors and next thing I knew, they spent 30 minutes talking through various liqueurs and distilleries in the area. We will definitely return on our next trip to Ghent.
