This medieval community features whitewashed houses with red-tiled roofs surrounding a peaceful central garden where ancient trees shade weathered benches. The Gothic St. Elisabeth Church anchors this contemplative area that offers a quiet retreat from Ghent's busier areas. While dining options are minimal within the beguinage itself, Ghent's centre is just a 15-minute walk away. The area prioritises its tranquil, non-commercial atmosphere over tourist amenities. Getting around requires walking, as narrow medieval streets restrict vehicle access and cobblestones can challenge cyclists.

Location wise outside Ghent so took the uber which costs 10 euro each way. Parking costs 20 euro per day which is the big bear after spending approx £175 per night averge per night.

"Pros: Room was spotlessly clean, bed was comfortable and the en suite bathroom was everything you needed. Staff were friendly and helpful. The common areas looked modern and inviting. Short walking distance to a railway station, buses, supermarkets and some cheap food options. Cons: The rooms are small and basic. The location is not in the medieval heart of Ghent but rather in a working-class area a 20 minute walk from the main tourist sites. But this is, as the name clearly states, a budget hotel and is excellent value for money in an expensive city."
