Cons:

De kamer was wel iet wat out-dated. Het was ooit een mini appartementje en nu geschikt om met vier man te slapen. Geen airco, geen cv, wel elektrische kachels. Niet veel stopcontacten dus tussen twee oude, maar wel luxe stoelen lag een stekkerblok. Als je niet teveel verwacht en er niet al te lang hoeft te verblijven prima te doen.

Prima hotel vlakbij het station
Pros:

Vriendelijk personeel. Op de kamer was koffie en thee aanwezig. De bedden waren goed. Het zit vlakbij het station, dus erg goed bereikbaar.

Cons:

Het ontbijt stond 5 á 10 minuten later klaar dan vertelt. dit was jammer omdat ik echt op tijd weg moest. Ontbijt zelf was basis maar prima. Ik kon koffie en thee bestellen.

Good hotel with a splendid position!

The staff was kind and helpful. The position of the hotel near the station allowed me to move more easily through Ghent. The room was very comfy. In general a very nice experience staying here.

Très bon hôtel propre et confortable
Pros:

Chambre propre
Lit confortable
Salle de bain propre
Personnel très sympathique
Une belle omelette au petit déjeuner

Cons:

S'il faut dire quelque chose c'est plutôt par rapport au fait d'entendre les gens dans le couloir. Mais ça ne nous a pas plus dérangés que cela.
Nous étions au calme, à l'arrière.

Bien pour une nuit
Pros:

L’emplacement, literie confortable, produits de douche disponibles, mini frigo, télévision, superbe vue sur la gare depuis le 4ieme étage, bon rapport qualité / prix

Cons:

Pas de parking attitré, on s’est garé deux rues plus loin (attention c’est maximum 5 heures par jour)
Quelques petites finitions à améliorer comme un coup de peinture par-ci par-là.
