2 nights In Ghent
Pros:

Great location. Quiet and cosy. Most of the staff were lovely. Nice toiletries. comfortable beds and room was very clean . The coffee maker was great. .. no milk for tea but this seems to be the same everywhere in Belgium.

Cons:

No mini bar or even water in the fridge. Couldn't stream any entertainment and only news channels available. Check-in was unfriendly and the member of staff only registered us for 1 of the 2 nights booked which locked us out of our room on the second night. It was sorted quickly after visiting reception in the main building.

Pros:

Locatie was erg centraal.

Cons:

De kamer was erg simpel en saai ingericht, vrij donker. Het zag er ook best oud uit. Voor de prijs had ik er meer van verwacht.

Good location / decent room - but a ton of mosquitoes and AC not working for multiple days , staff not helpful at al
Pros:

Great location - room itself is nice as well

Cons:

AC not working for two full days and front desk just say hey here’s a fan you can take (no I’d rather the AC be fixed), and the worst thing is - there’s a TON of mosquitoes in that room !!! I kept waking up to kill mosquitoes, and woke up with body full of mosquitoes bites , worst I had in years. HARD PASS . Half of the time you can’t even find anyone at front desk - I’ve seen a lot of confused people waiting at the desk.
