Bed and breakfast Mentari

"The rooms - or flat, if you book both rooms together - is very beautiful, impeccably clean and ideally located, just 10 minutes leisurely walk away from the tram station. Parking is also available, supermarkets, a small bakery and some takeaway nearby. The hosts were very friendly. Even their young son who was tasked to welcome us in the brief absence of his parents was doing so well, polite and helpful. We ordered breakfast on our last morning and it was a very lovely (continental, for our British readers) selection of bread, pastries, fruit, juice, eggs, sweet and savoury sandwich toppings... Considering the location and furnishings, both the rooms and the breakfast are very reasonably priced. You are even being gifted with free hot drinks and milk! If visiting Gent again, I would definitely check availability at Mentari first!"

"The selection of cutlery could be improved and perhaps a few more bowls. There is a good amount of plates, cups and glasses, but if one wanted a muesli in the morning or a quick soup for the evening, bowls (only 2 during our stay for up to 6 people) would be nice. There were only 5 forks and only one small sharp knife, as well as a broken bread(?)knife and half a pair of scissors. (?) I would suggest a brief inspection of the cutlery drawer after each visit and to update it as needed. I must be fair, however, and admit that if we had said something during our stay, I'm sure the hosts would have provided the items we wished for, only we were a bit shy and didn't want to seem petty, so that's on us. Also we arrived at a national holiday with absolutely no shops open and no way to buy even small provisions, and, because of this, also no breakfast available through the B&B the next day. Not catastrophic, of course, but a heads-up would have been nice. There were a couple of automated emails through Booking.com, a quick note about the holiday could have been helpful, just something to maybe mindful of the next time."

"Kartini was very nice. We had good chat. Surroundings is very quiet and peaceful. We had good time here. Public transportation was punctual so no problem in our ways to city."

"Nothing big. Maybe only our room was next to shared kitchen so we heard sounds from it, and I think it is also other way from room to kitchen. So you don't have so much privacy. But it wasn't big deal."

"Great location, five minutes from the tram into town. Light airy rooms. Great breakfast."

"Hairdryer was broken and wasn’t replaced. Hilariously the light switch was behind the bed so every time you moved the lights turned on and off!"

"Beautiful stay , charming staff . location was perfect!"

"Beautifully clean room and lovely spacious bathroom - a communal living room and kitchen was also appreciated as was on site parking Tram direct to Gand at approx 500 metres walk from property"

"The location of the accommodation was outside the main city. However, with the car, it was only a 15-minute drive. The kitchen was also well equipped, and we could prepare our daily takeaways."

"Aucun."

"A very comfortable room, the shared kitchen facilities were very convenient. Kartini was a perfect host and breakfast was excellent. The B&B is located in a quiet street, with private parking. It is a short walk to the tram stop which takes you to the centre of Ghent. We enjoyed our 2 nights stay, highly recommended."

"The B&B part of the house was upstairs in their own home. Outside was a lovely patio with table and chairs. Inside, a good size bedroom with a large window, spotless bathroom, lovely main room for breakfast and lounge area. We were allowed to cook a dinner, but chose to go out instead. Kartini provided a lovely selection for us each morning. Included a boiled egg, choice of bread, bun, pastry, yogurt, meat, cheese and fruit. She asked us when we would like to eat - and was prompt and friendly. This house was in a very quiet area - but not far from restaurants if you chose to go out (may need reservations). The location was perfect for us as we had a car and were touring the countryside (not Ghent itself)."

"Can't think of anything."

"Short walk to the tram into town. Breakfast was tasty and good portion sizes :-) . Hosts were very friendly and accommodating. We travelled with two young kids, and we were very comfortable."

"Rustige wijk we waren snel bij de Expo. Zacht katoenen beddengoed."

"Het elektronische deursysteem met code. Te lang buiten gestaan om de deur te openen wat maar moeizaam lukte. Tip: nog een paar scherpe keukenmessen en een fatsoenlijke pan."
