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.

Great for a family - not swish or posh

We had a nice one night stop over with a massive room for our family of 5. The staff were welcoming and friendly. It is an odd building and pretty tired. Very ‘Fawlty towers’ / art deco / retro. Could be cleaner. We did not eat there. Easy metro to the centre of Ghent which is truely beautiful.
