Hotel with a lot of charm and friendly staff. Parking at the hotel and easy to drive to is a real plus in a city like Gent where the centre is car free.
This hotel was a wonderful find in Gent. Not quite in the city centre but an easy and interesting walk away. Can also use the tram nearby. Beautiful Art Deco building and our room was nice and spacious. Wonderful buffet breakfast. Parking on site for a very small fee. We would definitely stay here again.
Fantastic stay for my 3 days. Plenty of parking and a very pleasant walk into the town, although it is around 30 minutes away. Easy access to the St Pieters train station. Excellent sized rooms, comfortable and clean.
Great access if arriving by car. Lots of parking
Very clean and spacious room.
Sunken floor bath in room was lovely.
Reception were helpful with getting into city centre.
Tram stop was literally opposite
Very well priced would highly recommend
Lovely hotel, perfect room, very clean, receptionist very helpful in explaining local areas to go to.
Pool was lovely to relax in after a full day on our feet
Beautiful art deco hotel, very close to Ghent Sint-Pieters train station, only a two stop tram ride or 5 minute cycle. Staff was very welcoming and helpful to tell you any destinations in Ghent. Would stay again!

Liked: Staff & service, amenities
Nice enough smallish independent hotel. Staff were very friendly. Breakfast OK but nothing to write home about. Building is old so all floorboards creak and you can hear people moving around in rooms next door and above, going to the bathroom etc.
On strange observation is the height of the toilet from the ground. At only 5ft 11in tall, I was sat with my feet swinging, and cutting off circulation.
Great spot in Ghent, just out of the city but close enough with the Tram, lots to see around Ghent and the staff were very helpful to give recommendations
