Comfortable stay with some minor irritances
Pros:

Room was big and comfortable
Room had fridge and A/C
Staff was very friendly. For instance, they offered to microwave our food
Convenience stores (even an Indian store and a over-night store) and bakery were nearby

Cons:

The housekeeping service fell short of expectations, as some items were not resupplied even after we brought it to their attention
The Nespresso machine did not work (in our room as well as our friends' room) - the staff said they are aware of the issue

Pros:

Muito próximo da estação central, podendo ir a pé. Pude deixar as malas pela manhã antes do horário do checkin. Quarto confortável e banheiro com ótima ducha, além de meio box em vidro. Xampu, condicionador, hidratante de pele e sabonete líquido disponíveis no banheiro. Funcionários muito educados e com facilidade de comunicação.

Cons:

O piso do banheiro pode ficar um pouco molhado após o banho, porque o vidro na cobre totalmente a área de banho.

City Break
Pros:

El hotel está muy bien situado a 5m a pie de la estación de Gante, ideal si se llega en tren. Desde allí son unos 20-25 minutos a pie hasta el centro (o unos minutos solamente en tranvía). La habitación era muy espaciosa y cómoda, todo era perfecto, incluyendo los servicios (cafetera, caja fuerte, nevera). El baño era también muy amplio. Las camas eran cómodas. El personal muy amable. El precio era un poco elevado pero normal para la media en Flandes.

Cons:

El desayuno no lo probamos así que no puedo comentar. También vi que tenía un parking para quien vaya en coche. Si no, nada negativo que destacar, todo estuvo bien.
