Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is conveniently located outside of the main train station, making it accessible for travelers. The rooms, although next to the main hotel, were initially a bit cold but warmed up nicely with the electrical heater. However, it could get noisy in the summer if windows are left open due to the lack of air-conditioning.
The hotel is in a prime location, just opposite the railway station where the trains from Brussels arrive. The rooms are spacious and clean, and the bed was very comfortable. However, the wooden flooring makes it a bit noisy when people walk above your room. The dining options are basic, but the location is ideal for exploring the tourist side of Gent. Very close to the main railway station with easy access to anywhere.
I couldn't have asked for a better location; just across the Ghent train station, making it super convenient for exploring. The rooms were generally nice, though a fresh coat of paint wouldn't hurt. The dining experience was decent, but I wish they offered more healthy options for breakfast. Overall, a convenient and comfortable stay.
