Wonderful room, very nicely designed as the entire house, super clean, quiet (not speaking about the church bells). The only pity is that we couldn't stay longer. Delicious sweets "in-house" in the café and very friendly and helpful personnel. Location ideal to walk the town.

Situated in Ghent and with Ghent Christmas Market reachable within 130 m, Maison Margo features a bar, non-smoking rooms, free WiFi throughout the property and a terrace. The property is set less than 200 m from St. Nicholas' Church, 450 m from Castle of Gerald the Devil and 240 m from Ghent City Hall. The guest house has family rooms.

The rooms in the guest house are fitted with a flat-screen TV. Rooms include a private bathroom with a shower, a hairdryer and free toiletries.

The room we stayed in, Caramel, was beautiful with high ceilings, modern decor, a very comfortable bed with a large TV and a nice bathroom too. The location of the Guesthouse is also ideal, situated in the center. And yet it manages to remain quiet and isolate the noise of the city from the rooms, even when we were in Gent during multiple music festivals happening in the center until late into the night. Overall would highly recommend.
