Very quiet nice area and staff are so friendly, they offered two beds room with a good city view. The staff also introduced some sightseeing places to us. The room is big with enough plugs. The only problem is the bed sheet is not clean, there is a small stain of blood. Otherwise the hotel is great. Location is good, not too far from the center.

Handy location. Close to many nice places yet slightly hidden away. Clean, tidy, quiet, tram nearby, close to the canal, a short walk from the park, main station and beautiful squares. Only thing is the bathroom was a tight squeeze. Otherwise, absolutely fine for a stopover and decent value for the area.

Generally very good & convenient but my room had no hot water for the two night stay, either in the shower or wash basin - at the absolute best it was nearly lukewarm a couple of times. Mentioned to reception staff for info only, I wasn’t expecting a repair & an alternative room wasn’t available.

We had a very enjoyable stay in this hotel. The rooms are smallish but you get everything you need, although maybe an in room kettle would be useful. The shower was always warm and a good pressure on the water. The bed was very comfortable. Our room (239) was on the second floor towards the rear of the hotel so was a very quiet room. The food at breakfast was really nice and plenty of it, so felt good value. The staff were helpful and polite. The hotel is a great location for exploring Ghent being a 5 minute or so walk from the Cathedral, Belfry etc. I would definitely stay in this hotel again, it was a very enjoyable stay.
