Nice enough smallish independent hotel. Staff were very friendly. Breakfast OK but nothing to write home about. Building is old so all floorboards creak and you can hear people moving around in rooms next door and above, going to the bathroom etc. On strange observation is the height of the toilet from the ground. At only 5ft 11in tall, I was sat with my feet swinging, and cutting off circulation.

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
