Pros:

La situation par rapport au Jazz festival

Cons:

Chambre donnant sur la rue, réveillé tous les X avec genre, une bande avec musique à fond, rire. Cri, camion poubelle tres tôt, soufflerie pour feuilles mortes, tram. Impossible de dormir car fenêtres ouvertes à cause de la chaleur. Petit déjeuner minimaliste

Veel te warm in de kamer en veel lawaai met raam open
Pros:

Dichtbij het station

Cons:

Ok, er is geen airco. Maar waarom doe je alle ramen dicht op de enige frisse dag van de week. Het was bakken en braden in de kamer. Zelfs met het raam open en buiten was het 19°, bleef het snikheet. Daardoor hoorde je nog meer lawaai van buiten. Om 7h smorgens oorverdovend lawaai van slepende kettingen van de horecazaak onderaan. Verschrikking. Ook was het waterflesje opengedaan en dus zeker bijgevuld. Dat kost 4 cent bie god.

Pros:

Hotelli sijaitsee Gent Sint-Peters rautatieasemaa vastapäätä. Huoneessa oli jääkaappi.

Cons:

En tajunnut varausta tehdessäni, ettei hotellissa ole ilmastointia. Nukkuminen 30 asteen helteessä oli nihkeää. Patjat olivat nähneet jo parhaat päivänsä. Aamupala oli hyvin yksinkertainen.

Slechtste hotel waar ik ooit geweest ben.
Pros:

Niets

Cons:

Alles. En wanneer men vraagt om naar de frigo op de kamer te kijken omdat deze niet koelt werd er gewoon gelogen en de dag later sorry gezegd.

I cut my stay short due to the heat.
Pros:

The location is ideal and bathrooms are clean. The electric blinds are good and the portable fans a nice touch since there is no air conditioning.

Cons:

Since my last stay, the general look has deteriorated, with very badly stained carpets in the stairwell and appliances held together with duct tape or disconnected. If it broke, fix it.

Basic transit hotel.
Pros:

De locatie vlakbij het station. Kamer op zich was in orde, netjes, met als pluspunt een mobiele airco.

Cons:

Straatlawaai van terrassen en trams. Ondermaats ontbijt. Het hotel is zeker aan een opfrisbeurt toe, met opruim van de alom aanwezig rommel.

Foi uma experiência agradável, Gante é uma bela cidade.
Pros:

Localização, tamanho do quarto e banheiro

Cons:

Falta ar condicionado nesse período do ano, muito quente… Fica bem difícil pra dormir. Café da manhã deveria ser mais barato para os hóspedes. Falta estacionamento pra gente que aluga carro.
