Une chambre familiale exceptionnelle, idéalement située !
Pros:

Une excellente adresse pour découvrir Gand ! La chambre familiale pour 4 personnes est exceptionnelle par sa superficie, son confort et son cachet. On s’y sent vraiment bien.

L’hôtel bénéficie d’un emplacement idéal, à proximité du centre-ville, ce qui permet de tout visiter facilement à pied.

Mention spéciale pour le très bon petit déjeuner, varié et de qualité.

Une très belle expérience, nous recommandons sans hésiter !

Great hotel in the middle of the city center with outstanding staff
Pros:

We loved the room, spacious and with a nice view.
The staff was very friendly and provided some additional services that made us feel even more welcome.
The breakfast was great, a large variety and replenished more than sufficiently.

Cons:

Not really anything.
If any, there was a strange smell in the toilet but since that was separate it didn’t really matter to us.
