Room clean but looking a bit tired. More hangers for clothes and an extra pillow both would be good. Welcome pack was appreciated.Ideal location and breakfast was good. Staff were friendly and helpful. The angle of shower in bath is as a bit precarious if standing for shower.but overall we would recommend as great place had a great short break in a beautiful city.

The facilities are beautiful. The breakfast in the castle setting very good and the terrace for drinks superb. The pool I had to myself as soon as we arrived at around 7:30 pm. At nine it was too crowded.

Fantastic stay. My good experience started before the stay when I checked they could provide a cot for my baby daughter and a parking place with ev charging (both yes). Check-in was handled quickly and our spacious room was immaculately clean, very comfortable and silent. A big hit with the whole family, would certainly be happy to stay again.

Such a warm welcome, great to have the parking once worked out where to go, though at a price. Apartment great, spacious & spotlessly clean, well equipped if staying for longer. On 4th floor so very quiet - woken up first night by another guest hammering on his door but this was not fault of hotel! Chose this as had elevator which was perfect for my elderly parents & though a little out of town, could walk to tram stop or get an Uber if don’t wish/unable to walk the 20 mins or so

Tour 2025

As a two night stopover we found the accommodation to suit our requirements, close to the centre, the sites and had secure parking for the motorcycle. On arrival, the check in was easy, our room had a view towards the centre, good air con etc. The supplied breakfast was excellent and sufficient to set you up for the day. Question; Would I stay at this location again? YES

Great Ghent

This is a fantastic place to stay. Close to public transport. Well appointed, spacious rooms. The staff were incredible, especially Meliesa, who will definitely win receptionist of the year. She went over and beyond, train tickets, bus timetables, city card, recommendations of places to visit all with a cheerful, happy demeanour. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Castelnou Apartments and would recommend it to any traveller.

Good hotel choice

Staff was friendly, and even provided nice brochures with useful information. Breakfast was good. Bathroom was alright. The room was very spacious. The room's kitchen was well equipped. The hotel is close enough to be able to reach the city's center by walking, but also happens to conveniently have public transportation close by. Overall a good hotel choice to visit Ghent.

A good stay with family

We arrived a bit after 10pm, when the staff closes the desk and access to the property. We called from the entryway and were given access via a code we entered into a lockbox right there. The place was clean, and everything worked fine. The furniture could be more comfortable and the space would feel more welcoming with some interesting art on the walls and perhaps a rug, but sleeping was great, even in the cot where my 23yo rested very well, and there was enough room for us 3 to spread out and enjoy each other.
