Pros:

Posizione buona rispetto al centro.
Colazione buona in ambiente molto carino.
Bellissima ampia doccia.

Cons:

Stanza troppo piccola per 2 persone.
Nessuno spazio per sedersi, l'armadio, minuscolo, non si apre perché sbatte sul letto e su un tavolino inutilizzabile. C'è il poggia valigia ma non c'è posto per aprirlo. A meno che non si voglia rimanere nella stanza fermi sul letto.
Se uno dei dure deve entrare in bagno, l'altro deve stare sul letto o in piedi di fianco altrimenti la porta gli va addosso.

Beautiful Hotel in a superb location
Pros:

Very well situated for getting into the city centre. Lovely hotel in a relatively old building, keeping some of the original features but with the bonus of modern fittings.

Cons:

Nothing really, stairs to the top floor are slightly challenging & wouldn't suit anyone with mobility issues but lower rooms are easily accessible.

Hotel Onderbergen
Pros:

Ottima posizione, che consente di raggiungere il centro in pochi minuti a piedi. Possibilità di prenotare il parcheggio privato, che è un posto auto in garage, a pagamento. Nelle vicinanze sono presenti diversi locali e ristoranti. Staff cordiale e super disponibile

Cons:

Se devo trovare qualche difetto posso dire che gli arredi sono un po' datati e di scarsa qualità rispetto a come si presenta il resto della struttura, la camera era davvero piccola e le scalette per salire ai piani superiori, dove avevamo la camera noi, sono molto ripide e strette. Noi ci siamo trovati comunque bene, d'altronde certe modifiche edilizie non possono sicuramente essere messe in atto, quindi va bene così e per un soggiorno breve come è stato il nostro questo hotel è più che buono

Hotel carino a Gent
Pros:

Hotel molto vicino al centro storico e alle attrazioni. Stanza molto spaziosa. Nuova e pulita. Il bagno pietoso. Staff molto gentile accogliente e solare. Colazione buona.

Cons:

Il bagno. Piccolo, vecchio e decadente. Muffa sul soffitto e all’interno della doccia, odore veramente sgradevole. Colori zone comuni veramente angusti.

Prima hotel voor een kort bezoek aan Gent.
Pros:

Leuke sfeer, fijne plek, goed ontbijt. Heerlijke koffie en hartelijk ontvangst.

Cons:

Heel klein binnenplaatsje om te parkeren. Was te bereiken via heel erg smal poortje, dat was wat manoeuvreren met een SUV. badkamer was gedateerd en stond qua sfeer en aankleding niet in verhouding met de leuke kamer.

Camera quadrupla con finestre sulla strada ma con le tende abbiamo risolto.
