From the very warm welcome from Didier and Katlien and the amazing building we knew were in for an amazing stay at Expo13. The attention to detail in the property - beautifully appointed rooms and bathroom, the very well stocked mini bar, sumptuous breakfasts served in the salon, rivalled any 5* hotel I have stayed in. Expo 13 was centrally located down the road for Gent St Pierre station and was walking distance from the centre of Gent.

Het zag er prachtig uit. De douche was goed en aangenaam. Het ontbijt was uitstekend. De ligging is ook prima en op 1/2 uurtje lopen van het centrum. De kamer was kleiner dan we verwacht hadden. Weinig ruimte voor koffers en jassen en weinig bewegingsruimte. Er waren geen nachtkastjes, wat niet zo handig is. Het fonteintje bij de douche is zo klein dat je niet je gezicht kunt wassen, zonder alles - vloer en muren - nat te spatten. Meer iets voor op het toilet. Het bed had twee matrassen met een dekmatras, waar een kuil in zat, waardoor we naar elkaar toe rolden. Op het bed lag een zwarte sprei met een ondefinieerbare witte vlek.Het raam kun je 's nachts niet open laten staan omdat er continue treinverkeer te horen is. De wissels en de vrachttreinen hoor je de hele nacht. Het koelkastje op de kamer maakt ook behoorlijk hinderlijk geluid, dus hebben we de stekker uit het stopcontact getrokken. De muren van de kamer zijn erg dun (gipswandje?) waardoor je de buren erg goed kan horen. De TV is klein en heeft een vaag beeld. Helaas konden we ook geen gebruik maken van de sauna, die op de website stond. Deze service was er niet meer. De foto's van de kamer op Expedia zijn mooi, maar komen niet overeen met onze kamer.

I loved the very comfortable bed (best I've slept in away from home), roll top bath, breakfast just as we wanted accompanied by very pleasant music, good location near the station & nice little touch of small bottles of cava in the fridge for a drink at the end of the day. Easy to catch the tram 1 into town (included in a Ghent city pass) or walk 30 minutes by the river. We loved the place & would like to visit again.

What a beautiful apartment. We loved the decor and attention to detail, very comfortable and clean. Breakfast was generous, delicious and such a beautiful setting. The area is lovely and quiet (for a city) and it was less than 5 mins walk to the train and tram station. Ditier looked after us from our arrival and gave us great information for getting around. We highly recommend Expo 13.

Boutique B&B near station

Warm welcome in this boutique B&B. High standard of room. Close to main station and good public transport connections to centre (or <30 min walk). If rooms faces the train tracks likely to be some associated noise if that will worry you.

The B&B is in a beautiful period townhouse, tastefully decorated with lots of character features and a mixture of arty, antique, modern and vintage touches. Close to Sint-Pieters station (great for connections to Brussels and Eurostar) and tram into centre of Ghent. Although a half-hour walk into the centre mostly along the canal was a great way to start exploring the town. Beautifully laid out Breakfast room with tasty food - loved the miniature glass domes for our boiled eggs!! Katlien and Didier, the owners, were very friendly, charming and helpful.

Didier en Katlien zijn de perfecte gastheer en gastvrouw van een knus en romantische Bed & Breakfast. Verblijf bij Expo 13, een mooi verzorgd herenhuis, was van begin tot het einde ontzettend prettig en comfortabel en ontspannen! Bij aankomst konden we niet makkelijk parkeren en heeft Didier de auto voor ons weggezet, waarna we uitgebreide uitleg kregen over to do' s in Gent en leuke restaurantjes. De kamer is heerlijk en de aparte badkamer met bad geeft een ontspannen en luxe uitstraling. Het centrum is goed bereikbaar met de tram (10 min) en anders 's nachts ook met de taxi voor ongeveer 10 euro. Het ontbijt is echt waanzinnig lekker en een fantastische prijs kwaliteit! Naast een uitgebreid buffet van truffels, croissants en verse stokbrood met kaasjes kwam Guido ook langs met vers gekookte eitjes. Kortom, een echte aanrader als je een weekendje weg wil naar Gent! Nogmaal veel dank voor alle goede zorgen Guido en Katlien! We komen graag een keertje terug!

Near the station but not centrally located

We booked Expo 13 during our honeymoon visit to family in Ghent but didnt realise how far it is located from the center of things. Luckily a tram stop is around 5 min walk from the b&b. Our room had only a bathtub with a hand held shower head (no shower curtains, etc) so bathing was quite interesting. The b&b has no lift, so a word of warning if you are travelling with more than a carry on bag! Also we had some hiccups with the check in and payment info which was sent from the owners and not hotels.com. It unfortunately ended up in my junk mail and caused some issues at check out as we werent aware the payment was meant to be cash only. Other than this our stay was relatively comfortable and the hosts were very lovely. We also had the breakfast which was pretty reasonably priced at 7.50 euro pp and had a few options. The breakfast room and layout were quite nice. We didnt use the other facilities during our stay.
