Pros:

Chambre prise pour une nuit, on a pu déposer notre sac avant de prendre la chambre, ce qui nous a permit de nous promener plus léger. Personnel agréable.

Cons:

Hôtel assez typé,(voir photos) c'est chouette pour rester dans le thème d'une visite de la ville.

Pros:

Very close to bus station, walked to hotel from bus. Lots of beautiful things to see around Ghent.

Cons:

I don't usually post negative comments about hotels as the nature of the beast is that someone will always have something they will dislike, but for a Sunday night it was noisy and the bathroom did not smell clean.
