Excellent, very friendly and helpfulreceptionists!

The staff went above and beyond to fullfil all my needs. The temperature in the room was rather cold (very cold weather outside) and I couldn't figure out how the air con works. The receptionist listened to me carefully and then then sent someone to only adjust the temperature in the room but left an additional heating unit in my room should if I need it. the only reason I gave 4 starts for comfort was the noise from outside. The location is central and I had a wonderful view from my room. It was just a bit loud. Maybe should have brought earplugs. Apart from that, both receptionists I had the pleasure of talking to were extremely welcoming, nice and polite. Really appreciate it, thank you! :)
Lovely view from my room!

Hotel is ideally situated to explore Gent. Rooms were large and spacious and the hotel accommodated our request for quiet rooms. The staff were very helpful and I’d recommend to anyone wanting a hotel in the centre of the city.

The staff we were wonderful - they responded to an advance email requesting a walk in shower immediately.Room very comfortable & spotless with good bed & then excelled themselves as when I got to train station to leave I realized my phone had slipped out of my pocket in back of cab. On it were my Eurostar tickets & all personal & banking stuff - I called the hotel who immediately called the cab company & alerted the driver who found the phone & brought it back to station - disaster averted - I couldn’t praise them enough nothing to much trouble - outstanding service in great stay

The soundproofing is very bad, since the keys are physical and the doors slam shut automatically, the place is very loud. It’s not for light sleepers. And wifi signal is very poor and keeps shutting off. I don’t recommend
