Centrale plek in Gent
Pros:

Het hotel ligt heel centraal en het was fijn dat we onze fietsen in de parkeergarage konden stallen.
De prijs-kwaliteit is in verhouding, de kamer is heel basic, maar daar is de prijs dan ook naar.

Cons:

De badkamer is echt heel klein, maar voldoet. Er zat wel schimmel op het plafond. Het is warm in de kamer, maar gelukkig kunnen de ramen open.

On y reviendra.
Pros:

Accessibilité et parking

Cons:

Exiguïté de la douche (bien que ce ne soit pas notre cas, les personnes corpulentes sont défavorisées), pas de main courante pour y entrer et en sortir et SDB en général. Lampes de chevet "trop" lumineuses et taches sur le tapis de sol; Il y avait de petites projections de sang sur les murs de la SDB.

Odalar çok küçük. Park ücreti 23 euro ve otopark aşırı sıkışık. İlk gece küf kokusu vardı.

Pros:

Just on the edge of the historic centre about 25 minutes walk from the train station. Tram stop close by of you prefer not to walk. Easy check in, clean and convenient to shops. Typically small but functional IBIS style bathroom. No issue in practice however takes some getting used to if you are used to a big bathroom

Cons:

Some noise from other guests as they arrived/ departed their rooms, particularly if talking however once in their room or down the hallway peace is restored.
