If we ever go back to Ghent or had a friend going there, this would be the place to stay.
Pros:

The location was the best. We were right next door to the church which will have all of the restored altar pieces returned in December of 2026. The watch tower was a full block away and the castle was very close. Some wonderful places to eat and shop that were very close and it has a very good restaurant and bar on the main floor. The breakfast was over the top with scrambled eggs, bacon, sausages, fruit, juices, coffee , expresso, donuts, pastry, yogurt, wonderful rolls, bread and meats and cheeses. The bed was very comfortable, but the chairs were made out plastic and I like over stuffed chairs for my afternoon napes. The room was a good sizes, the bathroom was a little small and the tub was very deep and getting in and out could be harder for older guest. All in all it was a great value for the money.

Cons:

Maybe one soft overstuffed chair. Maybe a walk-in shower for older guests with some mobility problems. The staff was great. The room was clean and both elevators were large, newer and worked all the time we were there. You would have to be over the top picky to find any thing really wrong with this hotel.

A central hotel in Gent with limitations
Pros:

The hotel is located very central in Gent, just a few steps from the Cathedral and a couple of blocks from the Lys River. The area is very walkable and full of restaurants, coffee places and souvenir shops. The room was on the small side for two persons but the main problem we found is not the size (see below). Staff was cordial. The breakfast was limited for it cost!

Cons:

The main problem with our room was the lack of space to accommodate our luggage, cloths, etc. There was an open closet with just enough space to hang a couple of shirts and jeans but not drawers other than a small table/desk to place things on top. The room did not have a safety box to put your valuables so be prepared to walk with your money, passports, etc. with you while in Gent.

Hôtel très bien situé, qui mériterait toutefois un petit rafraîchissement !
Pros:

La situation géographique est idéale. En plein centre de la vieille ville. Près des canaux. Tout se visite à pied. Restaurants à proximité. Très bonne literie. Chambre calme. Petit déjeuner très complet.

Cons:

Pas de bouilloire dans la chambre.
Moquette un peu vieillie et tachée.
