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.

Spa Access isn't a given... it could cost extra

Overall, I found the staff at this hotel to be very friendly and accommodating. The Spa area is nice, however was really disappointed to find that they have a system where guests have to reserve it's use at an additional cost. So whilst you can access the pool for free (at set hours provided it's not booked) the other facilities are an additional cost of 35 Euro per hour per guest! The rooms felt dated and the bed wasn't that comfortable. Whilst not central, it's very close to a tram to get into central Ghent and there are a handful of eatiers within walking distance.

We really liked the property in the area it was located in. The room was large despite being very basic. The beds were comfortable and it had a very large bathroom with an excellent bath. We were only disappointed by the fact that the swimming pool can only be used in the evening by appointment only which we were not told when we checked in. We were unable to use the pool when we wanted to for this reason. This was a big letdown as we booked this particular hotel due to it having a pool. I would stay here again as the the overall stay was good, just need clearer instructions on certain things

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.

Very helpful on reception. Some breakfast service was better than others. Maybe wearing headphones hinders hearing the customers' requests. Ckeaning staff on Sunday was excellent, other days not so. I still think there is a tiwel under the bed that must have been there before we arrived. Ionly saw it when I checking before we left. I would certainly vidit this hotel again. The swimming pool is bejue and quirky but very needed after a busy day at the Christmas markets.
