Location to the train was perfect as well the vibe of the Carlton was old school care with a modern twist. Made us felt welcome from Halifax, Nova Scotia 🇨🇦
Very warm welcome from the helpful receptionist, lovely big room (with very welcome air con). All the staff we met were friendly and helpful. Location close to the station but in a quiet street, with no noise worked well for us.
He had a great stay. The property and rooms are clean. The breakfast was very good. We wanted to be close to the train station so the location was perfect for us. The highlight was the staff! They are very helpful and pleasant, wonderful to deal with!
Quiet and comfortable stay with all the amenities including a bottle of water for each guest. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend this place for anyone who is looking for a hotel near the train station to explore Ghent and nearby cities such as Bruges.
Room was spacious and very clean. Lots of natural light. Convenient location next to the train station. Safe and quiet area.good food options nearby or a 20-30 minute walk to the central area.
We had a fabulous stay at the Carlton Hotel. The staff and the owner were friendly, easy going and very helpful. The room was spacious and the breakfasts were a delight. We'd have no hesitation going back to the Carlton if the opportunity arose.
This is now my favourite Hotel in Ghent! It has much better rates than many other Hotels and by far the biggest rooms! It's a very elegant and beautiful place and the carpets in the room are very clean. The woman who checked me in was very friendly and during my stay Karen & Melissa were very helpful and made me feel at home!
They provide complementary excellent quality drinking water. The breakfast was also excellent both in quality and in variety. Will definitely stay here next time we are in Ghent.
Breakfast was superb and one of the best selection of food items I’ve seen. I especially liked the eggs cooked as requested and the freshly squeezed apple juice.
We had a wonderful stay at the Hotel Carlton. Hotel is steps from the train station which was very convenient. Staff was incredibly friendly, and breakfast was great! We highly recommend this hotel.

The hotel was clean, the staff was very helpful, and the room was surprisingly large and spacious for three people. The location is also convenient if you’re arriving by train, with the train station nearby and a tram stop close to the hotel that makes it easy to get to the city center.
There are two things I would note, however. First, there are limited restaurant options within easy walking distance of the hotel. More importantly, we specifically chose this hotel because we were traveling with an elderly person and needed reliable elevator access. Unfortunately, the elevator was out of service for our entire stay.
Overall, we had a pleasant stay, but if you are traveling with someone who has mobility challenges or specifically need dependable elevator access, I would recommend confirming the elevator is working before booking.

Great staff at reception staff, teeny tiny elevator and stairs are even smaller and quite dark. Firm bed, large room with a view of the back neighborhood. Bathroom ok - shower in the tub thin towels, no magnifying mirror. Bottled water ( refillable) available at no charge from reception. Super close to train station!
