Non bene
Pros:

Hotel predisposto ad ospitare principalmente persone disabili. Il bagno della mia camera presentava una doccia priva di qualsiasi schermatura per l'acqua. Pertanto, tutta la stanza da bagno si è allagata.

Cons:

Bagno in camera, distanza dal centro (anche se sulla descrizione dell'hotel veniva comunicata deiversamente). Per il centro servono almeno 20 minuti con passo svelto.

Lovely place, good base to explore Ghent.
Pros:

Very friendly and helpful staff, comfortable room and easy to get to (lots of busses and a tram stop pretty much outside).

Nice terrace area for a beer (which of course was delicious).

Cons:

Just be aware that the bathroom, clean and perfectly lovely as it is, is essentially a large shower room which isn’t to my personal taste (no shower curtain / door) Also the door to that room is partially frosted glass so you have some visibility of usage. It may be that’s just my British sensibility, I imagine that’s very normal for most other people.

Pros:

El parking a la puerta, y el tamaño de la habitación.

Cons:

El cuarto de baño no está al nivel que se espera (está claro que está pensado para discapacitados y eso marca su diseño)
No hacen la cama ni reponen el café.

Prima voor een nacht
Pros:

Hotel was erg schoon en het centrum is op loopafstand. Ontbijt was prima. Parkeergarage is erg ruim en makkelijk te bereiken. Hotel was enorm rustig. Wij zijn 1 nacht verbleven op doorreis waarvoor het prima was.

Cons:

Het hotel heeft geen airco (is aangegeven op Booking maar zijn wij vergeten naar te kijken tijdens het boeken) waardoor het in de kamer 27 graden was. Buiten was het 19 graden dus daar kon het niet aan liggen.

Basic
Pros:

Goede parkeergarage wel bij betalen €15 per dag.
Goede ligging tov centrum.

Cons:

Best prijzig voor een basic hotel. Geen koffiezetapparaat op de kamer. Verlichting fel op toilet/douche. Hierdoor nachts licht fel in de kamer als je maar de toilet moet.
