Stayed for 3 nights, the room we stayed in is clean but small, facing the canal. The room had a weird post located in the center when you come in. Breakfast is located on the top floor, very nice view and very good breakfast which is included with the room. Internet is free, big savings. Front desk are sometimes helpful.... More

My son and I stayed here. The room was very well furnished and large and the bathroom very clean and roomy. Breakfast was impressive with so much choice of food, fruits, breads, cereals, cold meats and taken on the 3rd floor roof top with interesting (not necessarily pleasing) views across the rooftops of surrounding properties and the canal. Reception staff... More

I stayed at this hotel with my son. It was a great room, overlooking the canal. The hotel is well-situated. The staff were very helpful. I would definitely stay here again. More

This hotel is GREAT - it is located just minutes off the busy square (so it is not noisy) - it is in a perfect location - close to everything you would want to see - it was very clean, comfortable, plenty of room and the staff were extremely helpful - the breakfast is HUGE - you want for nothing...

We stayed here over the easter weekend as we had gone to gent over previous easters and even though it was one of the more expensive hotels we have stayed in the room they gave us was very small. I explained to them that the room looked nothing like the pictures so they agreed to give us an up grade.... More

We stayed here as a family party of 10 for one night. We had booked 2 x deluxe double and 2 x deluxe triple. all of the rooms were very spacious and the doubles had lots of character with exposed brick walls, beams and arched windows overlooking the river. However, I was slightly disappointed with the triples as the only... More

I can highly recommend this hotel for those who appreciate decent sized, clean comfortable rooms in a central location, adjacent to many of Gent's historical attractions and shopping areas. The buffet breakfast is great value; fresh with a great selection of food presented by helpful and happy staff. More

During business trips I try to stay at this hotel as often as it's possible. It's nice and clean and the staff are always very pleasant and helpful. The breakfast price is however a total ripoff. 20Euro!! That you can skip and go to one of the many nice cafes just around the corner One great benefit with this hotel... More
