Gand, une très belle ville à découvrir
Pros:

L'emplacement de l'hotel est juste PARFAIT : au pied de la Cathédrale. Les chambres sont propres et bien équipée pour le petit city trip de 2 jours que nous affectuions. Un mot sur le personnel très accueillant, souriant et serviable : TOP, merci à eux !

Cons:

L'accès au parking n'est pas simple et celui-ci nous a paru d'un prix excessif (32 euros pour 24H, de midi à midi)

Pros:

The reason I like this hotel is because of the location of this hotel is very close to the market Square where we have to walk around this area it take around 200 m from this hotel to market Square and then you can walk around quite easy quite easy

Cons:

The main problem of this hotel now is how to get a car to the hotel the reason I said that is because of the road that travel to this hotel is in the process of construction there are not just one spot. It took me tomorrow to understand that we cannot go to the hotel by ourselves so we have to park nearby the slot that is able to park and then send someone to the hotel to let the people who work there show us how to get to the hotel. The person who was there is a very good they service very well. They him to our car and help me by himself to get through the road that allowed only a person to walk but he helped me to get through this process without him I cannot reach the hotel you cannot get out or get the charge from these hotel. The first day that we get to this hotel is by accidental we parked at the parking garage nearby the hotel and then walk straight to the hotel but when we come when we come back to you get our luggage we cannot do that because of the traffic is not allowed us to do so.

Pros:

Location was very good

Cons:

The ramp to the parking garage had central steps which made it very dangerous riding motorcycles in and out.
Damage occurred to bikes and clothing when hitting the wall to avoid the steps

Μια εξαιρετική διαμονή.
Pros:

Εξαιρετική τοποθεσία στο κέντρο της Γάνδης, εύκολη πρόσβαση, το προσωπικό είναι φιλικό και εξυπηρετικό και έχει πάρα πολύ καλό πρωινό με φρέσκα προϊόντα. Τα δωμάτια ήταν καθαρά με αλλαγή πετσετών κάθε μέρα και το κρεβάτι πολύ άνετο.

Cons:

Τα δωμάτια ήταν λίγο μικρά, παρόλα αυτά δεν τους έλειπε κάτι από παροχές εκτός από ένα μικρό ψυγείο ίσως.
