Simon Says is a wonderful, wonderful cafe + bed & breakfast located in the heart of Ghent. We arrived late in the evening exhausted from a full day of touring, and our hosts – Simon and Christopher, two lovely Brits who have been living in Ghent for 10+ years – scooped us right off the floor, carried our luggages up two flights of steep stairs, and ushered us into our simple but comfortably furnished room. Light music in the air, evening breeze through the windows, and a pot of freshly steeped Mariage Frères Jasmin Mandarin tea with Belgian chocolates on the table. Ahh, it’s good to be here.
Twee = Two (as in room #2)
Windows all around
Comfy beds
Radio, soft music on the background
Simon Says is very conveniently located – it’s a five minute walk from major tourist attractions, and a short taxi ride from St. Peters train station (only costs about €8). For details on how to get there via tram, check their website.

The fridge is well stocked with some very reasonably priced beer. The bottle of Vedett Extra White, for example, was only €2.50.

Breakfast time!
Good morning :)

[...] As it was 3:00pm in the afternoon, I sat down for an afternoon tea set (90HKD), which includes tea or coffee plus one “douceur” of your choice – tart, cake, crepe, floating island, creme caramel, or eclair. I opted for a cup of latte, though the tea selection by Mariage Frères was also very attractive, and certainly brought back fond memories of my evening in Ghent, Belgium. [...]
