Top für eine Nacht, gleich am Bahnhof und Zentral
Pros:

Die Lage ist top - gerade für Bahnfahrer

Cons:

Alles ziemlich ins Alter gekommen, vermutlich für Gent aber auch unterm Preis.

Für einen Kurztrip zum übernachten völlig ausreichend.
Pros:

Die Nähe zum Bahnhof Gent St. Pieter

Cons:

Matratze ist definitiv zu weich gewesen und kleinere Ausbesserungen sind vonnöten (bspw. Decke im Bad)

駅近でとても便利
Pros:

オーナーはフレンドリーで安心できた。　早めに到着して荷物を預けようとしていたら、部屋の準備ができているからと言って、お部屋を利用させてもらえた。非常にありがたかった。
駅前で便利。　近くには美味しいパン屋もあるし、2軒隣にはカルフールもあってちょっとした買い物はここで済ませることができた。観光の市内へもトラムで行ける、歩いても行けた！
部屋は清潔で清掃が行き届いていた。
アメニティも期待以上に揃っていて驚いた。シャワーキャップがあって、驚いた。
電気ポットがあり、紅茶・インスタトコーヒーがセットしてあった。

Cons:

エレベータを降りると、微妙に8段の階段を登らないとならず、残念だった。
駅をでて、まっすぐ進むとショートカットしてホテルに着くが、なかなかの石畳っぷりで、スーツケースがあると辛い
身軽なら、全く問題ないよ

Pros:

È molto vicino alla stazione dei treni, quindi è comodo se si raggiunge la città in treno, ma è meno vicino al centro della città. L'hotel è semplice come le sue stanze, peccato che abbiamo chiesto la colazione, ma ci è stato risposto che essendo stati avvisati al nostro arrivo nel primo pomeriggio, non erano pronti per l'indomani mattina. Peccato.
