When do you serve breakfast at the B&B?
You can book a room with or without breakfast.
From Monday through Saturday, breakfast is served in the B&B’s cozy dining room. We serve a hearty start to the day, featuring bread and spreads, yogurt with granola and fresh fruit, an egg, a pastry, a glass of local apple juice, and pour-over coffee or tea.
Breakfast at the B&B is served between 8:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. Please let us know the day before what time you’d like to have breakfast.
On Sundays, there is no breakfast at the B&B; instead, we invite you to join us for brunch in our restaurant or garden (except when the brunch restaurant is closed). At brunch, you’ll find an extensive buffet featuring not only breakfast items but also a variety of salads and vegetable dishes, as well as a small dessert. Sunday brunch is served starting at 10 a.m.
If you booked a room with breakfast, Sunday brunch (or Saturday brunch, if available) is included in the price. If you didn’t book breakfast with your room, you can still order it on-site the day before (€25.00 per person for breakfast / €40 per person for brunch).
Do you have any allergies or food intolerances? Please feel free to let us know.
Do you have to leave early? No problem—we’ll be happy to make sure you have everything you need to start your day off right with a homemade breakfast!
Do you have any tips for eating and drinking in Ghent?
For sure and for sure: we love Ghent as well as good food and drink in our cozy city!
Looking for a tasty bite in our neighborhood? Then you can go to Zuru Zuru for delicious ramen, all Japanese style. The better brasserie can be found on the square in front of St. Peter’s Station, at Café Parti. And if you like gastronomic dining, Kruidtuin and Jan van den Bon are absolutely recommended.
But there are so many great places in Ghent that it would be impossible to list them all here. That’s why we’ve put together a handy list on Google Maps. And if you’ve made a reservation and use WhatsApp, you’ll automatically get access to our guest app, which is full of practical info, as well as tips on where to eat, drink, shop, or find things to do.
What means of payment do you accept?
We accept all common bank cards with Bancontact and Maestro, as well as Mastercard, Visa and American Express.
You can also pay with Payconiq at Alix.
Cash only creates risks, and it’s not exactly clean either. So leave those bills in the bank as much as possible. That’s safer for you and for us.
I have allergies, can I come to you?
Certainly, we want everyone to be happy! Mention your dietary requirements when making your reservation and we will make sure you won’t be short of anything!
Where can I park?
Alix is within walking distance of the Gent-Sint-Pieters train station, making it easily accessible by both bus/tram and train.
Bikes can be placed in the bike shed on our property.
The closest public parking is the B parking of station, it is less than a 10-minute walk from Alix. Use navigation (Waze/Google Maps) to enter the parking lot (via Valentin Vaerwyckweg/R4 or Sint-Denijslaan).
You can also park on the street (pay parking 9am-7pm, about €2.2/hour, yellow parking zone, free on Sundays). Use the on-street parking meters, or a parking app such as 4411 or EasyPark. Pay attention to parking signs and resident spaces.
Alix is outside the low-emission zone.
Why do the prices for a stay vary?
The rates for the guest rooms at B&B Chambre d’Amis are dynamic. This means they may vary based on occupancy and demand, both at Chambre d’Amis and at other B&Bs and hotels in the area. Sometimes the rates will be slightly higher than average, but during quieter periods, you may be able to book a stay at a lower rate.
Do you have bikes for rent?
We don’t have any bicycles ourselves, but you can go to De Fietsambassade. At the Gent-Sint-Pieters station, and therefore within walking distance of Alix.
