Budgethotel, schoon, klein maar het nodige is er. Zeer vriendelijk personeel.
Pros:

Simpel, kleine kamers maar je het nodige is er: bed, badkamer, tv. Handdoeken zitten erbij maar bekertjes en waterkoker bijv niet. Het is dus minimaal maar als je je er op instelt is dat prima. Je gaat toch vooral op pad lijkt me.

Cons:

Ik vind het eigenlijk wel een fijne accommodatie. Ja, de kamer is klein maar wat moet ik met een grote kamer als ik alleen reis?
Het zit op 20min lopen van het centrum van Gent, er is ook een prima busverbinding. Ontbijtzaal is wat beperkt, ziet er niet heel typisch uit maar allemaal goed te doen. Enige dat ik wat minder vind is dat er bij staat dat parkeren een optie is (en dat klopt want er zit een parkeergarage onder het hotel) maar ik er zelf niet bij stil heb gestaan dat dit apart betaald moet worden. Dan nog is het goedkoper dan met de auto in het centrum te parkeren.

Pros:

Nothing.

Cons:

Appalling location (I did not choose it). Sits on an old industrial zone with dirty rubbish strewn streets. Take your stab proof vest.

Unhelpful staff, mediocre facilities
Cons:

The room had no internet, which I needed for work. I asked the hotel staff for the wifi; they gave the wrong wifi name. I went down stairs to the reception, The very unhelpful staff member said: "Yes, this is a problem". But they offered nothing to alleviate the situation, instead suggesting that I use my own phone for internet. Funny, but that's not what I paid the hotel for!

Habitación práctica y económica
Pros:

Me gustó mucho la relación calidad - precio, estaba limpio y era cómodo.

Cons:

Las habitaciones eran algo pequeñas y el aislamiento acústico podría mejorarse, ya que por la noche se podían escuchar las conversaciones de los huéspedes de la habitación contigua, así como el ruido de su ducha.
