Friendly staff and quick check in. Room was clean and comfortable. The hotel is an outstanding location and you can walk (20 mins) from the train station or catch a tram. Breakfast was terrific and offered plenty of variety for all dietary needs.

Front desk was very nice. Cobwebs and dust in the room. Toilet is so close to the wall you can barely sit without knees touching. Ideal location though.

Extremely convenient central location. Clean economic rooms with a nice bed and thoughtful details. Some noise due to its location, which is understandable. Had a great stay.

Hotel staff weeee great and helpful, especially assisting us with a medical emergency and being accommodating. Rooms are nice and clean. Hotel is very nice and clean. Location is fantastic for touring the main sights of old Ghent. Only issue with the hotel is it was noisier than previous hotels, poorer sound proofing between rooms and especially to outside. But overall a great hotel and good value!

The hotel itself is clean, well maintained & reasonably comfortable. The location is wonderful, right across the street from the cathedral. The staff I dealt with were all pleasant and helpful. However, there are a number of little annoyances. Of course there's no soundproofing so you hear every noise inside & outside the hotel. The slot for your key, to switch the power on, is not beside the door so you have to hold the door open or grope around to find it. The bathroom was very cramped with the toilet set awkwardly behind the door. There were no hand towels or face cloths, just rather small bath towels. The climate control did nothing so the room was always too warm. There were no bedside tables. The mattress was ok but not very high quality.

Ideal location next to three favorite tourist attractions. Ideal also to walk to the castle. The hotel staff was so helpful! I'm very grateful to be in a warm and friendly hotel. I love the eating and social area where when you can go in the evening, they are so welcoming. There are also games and a nice setting for visiting.
