Beautiful hotel
23 Apr 2026
What a beautiful hotel. We stayed in room 12 which is huge and in the main hotel. The room has tall ceilings and beautifully decorated. It has a nice view of the Castle of the Counts from the windows. The bed was very comfortable and the room was very clean and more importantly it was very quiet too. We don’t have breakfast but we did enjoy sitting in the bar area which also was very lovely. The r… What a beautiful hotel. We stayed in room 12 which is huge and in the main hotel.

Stinky room and dull breakfast
27 Dec 2025
Already on our first night at Gravensteen we were met by a horrible smell of sewage in one of the rooms. The staff had a very reserved tone and just shrugged it off as if it was a thing that normally happens.The breakfast wasn’t very good either, just dull bread and some synthetic juice.Their website also claims to have a fitness and sauna… I don’t think you can call old, stinky, worn down basemen… Already on our first night at Gravensteen we were met by a horrible smell of sewage in one of the rooms.

Lovely room, over looking the castle. Friendly and helpful staff. Nice en-suite shower. We booked just for a night, they allowed us to store the luggage until we were ready to leave. We don’t eat there, but it is ideally situated close to wonderful eateries.Lovely room, over looking the castle. Friendly and helpful staff. Nice en-suite shower.
