Because there wasn’t a lift, we were accommodated with a large family room on the ground floor which was great. We appreciated the gesture.

Located in the Flemish region of Belgium, the beautiful medieval city of Ghent is a city of history and romance. It's full of hidden historical, cultural and culinary gems that you can easily discover.
The Gravensteen or "Castle of the Count" is a deceptively enchanting sight dating back to the Middle Ages. Constructed by Philip of Alsace, the count of Flanders, it's partially surrounded by a moat and beautifully restored, and hosts an interesting museum about the history of prison life.
Part of the UNESCO World Heritage list, the Belfry of Ghent is a medieval tower overlooking the Old Town centre. Saint Bavo Cathedral and Saint Nicholas' Church are the city's other two towers, with St. Nicholas' Church being one of the oldest landmarks in Ghent.

The Industrial Museum (MIAT) has impressive and some unique objects, as befits the first Manchester of the continent. Vooruit for workers' social solidarity and a bar. Also thought-provoking is the Dr Josef Guislain museum in a still-used asylum (take tram #2).
Note that some tram routes, e.g, #4 to Nord Dokk, no longer operate.

A historic university city.
A historic university city. Preserves its strong Flemish identity.
Has a vibrant city centre and has a 'gothic feel' to it - but, not as strong as Bruges or to Brussels.
Once the main train station has completed its rebuild, it will enhance the city as a more inviting place.
We had dinner in the student sector and found it expensive. It's easy to get around Ghent by public transport. Trams need to be upgraded with easier payment systems and electronic information boards. Compared to Netherlands, Belgium's Tourist Information-points or Centres are not that easily accessible.
I would avoid staying near the main train station during its current building works due to noise and dust. The latter if you're allergic to dust.

Augmented Reality at St Bavo's Caythedral was exceptional.
Augmented Reality at St Bavo's Caythedral was exceptional. Almost everything in the city is walkable from the centre. Cars, trams, bikes and pedestrians share streets which means being careful when you walk. Altogether this was a visit to remember which will bring a smile to my face. Heartily recommended. With over 5000 students at the university the positive atmosphere was almost tangible. And the quality of life looked very good with excellent restaurants at reasonable prices and chic shops with good design on offer.

A beautiful, lively city with many easily accessible sights, concentrated in the centre. Easy communications by train or bus to/from other towns and good public transport within the city. Plenty of shops, restaurants, cafés, and a large pedestrian area. One can easily spend a few hours in one of the many museums on a rainy day.

Ghent seems to be something of a poor relation to the more famous Bruges. However, I found Ghent to be a thoroughly enjoyable place to visit and certainly lest touristy than Bruges. It's a very walkable city (to be fair, so is Bruges, but Ghent is more compact) which I really enjoy and value.
The local tourist authorities in Ghent have done a superb job with their excellent Visitors' Guide Book (free and printed in colour in the main European languages as well as English) which has a map showing the location of all the main points of interest, together with a succinct explanation of each. I found noting comparable in either Brussels or Bruges.
On my last morning before leaving for Bruges, I visited the very modern city library which was (for me) an enjoyable surprise, particularly after all the much more traditional historical sites. Try not to miss it and try to find time to step inside for a while!

It can get a bit full of walking tours and people in general...
It can get a bit full of walking tours and people in general - don't go at peak tourist times! Away from the centre there are lovely little bars and places to look at. It's crammed with beautiful art nouveau buildings. It prides itself on its artistic and musical connections - lots of students, and you could hear music practice going on in many places. There are local breweries with many delicious beers.
This is hands down my favourite place in Belgium. We visited 4 different cities, but Alphabed and Gent were diffrent and, in my opinion, the best! The street is quiet but just 5-7 minutes walking to the city center and all the best places in the city. We will def. come back!
The staff was communicative, the place was spacious and clean, the bed was comfy and the kitchen (common area) had great design and amenities. The entire place was packed with natural flowers too, a very nice detail.
The hotel exceeded our expectations. We had a specious room with a high ceiling and a very comfortable bed. It was very neat and clean. In general it seems that the hotel has been recently renovated. Evgenia, the lady at the reception, was very sweet and welcoming. She made a personalized map for us with places to visit and it was very helpful. The location of the hotel is also great: very close the center and on a quiet street. I'll definitely stay again next time I'm in Ghent.
The location of the hotel was perfect for us as we were wanting to explore historic Ghent. The rooms were clean, smaller in size but still had enough room for 2 people. The view from the room was nice as well. The breakfast in the morning was buffet style and had a good variety. The hours of the breakfast buffet were nice as we were able to sleep in a little and not have to rush to get breakfast in the morning. Overall, we enjoyed this hotel.
We stayed at Van der Valk in Gent while travelling through Belgium with a 6 months old baby.
We anxiously chose this hotel for its proximity to major roads and the size of the rooms to make the stay comfortable for both us and our daughter.
It was PERFECT!! The staff was accommodating, the facilities were great. We got help with sterilising bottles and we all had a fab night sleep.
Breakfast was a winner!!
Thank you so much!

Super hotel with very friendly staff. We messaged the hotel with some queries before our stay and they were very swift to reply and helpful too.
Very clean and a very nice 'feel' to the room too.
The hotel is in the perfect position to explore Ghent. Links via trams and trains to other cities in Belgium are excellent too.
This hotel located in the historical center of Ghent has simple and attractive modern decor. It's just a couple of blocks from the oldest canals and buildings in the medieval center of the city. Breakfasts were spectacular, with long buffets of breads, pastries, cheese, meat, cereals, fruit and much more.
Location in a quiet neighborhood and close to public transportation. Staff was very friendly and supportive . Carlos welcomed us and helped us with valuable information for Ghent first time travelers . Veronica assisted us by showing us the hotel swimming pool and sauna area.
A friendly and very comfortable hotel in a lovely location in Ghent, in walking distance to the gardens. Breakfast is delicious and includes fresh orange juice and eggs are made to order! There are excellent restaurants in the area and parking on site.
The location was perfect, 5 min walk from the centre as you can see from the map. This was a huge convenience, and the only reason not to leave the hotel after the first night. The staff was also great, very polite and open to any question about Ghent!
The atmosphere is quite nice as it is in an old monastery.
The location is not too far from the center of Ghent with its various sights.
Could become a great place if they change their attitude and come up to normal hotel standards.
Superb location within a 5 min walk to the heart of Ghent. In a great neighbourhood with loads of trendy bars and cafes. An extremely well-designed building that feels just like home, but with all the touches of a boutique hotel.
Cozy and nice hotel in Ghent! The breakfast service is provided on the top floor of the hotel, and one can have breakfast at the table at the terrace! One could also have a strong wifi connection in each room.
Staff were extremely pleasant and went out of their way to help. Hotel well situated to see the best that Ghent has to offer. Good continental breakfast. Bedroom and bathroom both decently sized.
Very nice, modern hotel with a great design, located within a short and pleasant walking distance to the old city centre, and their staff was the best we met during our trip to Belgium.
Exceptionally beautiful hotel right on the central square in Ghent. Perfect location. also beautiful room. Terrific breakfast and super-cool cocktail bar. Wonderful.
Perfect location, exquisitely designed hotel, delicious and various breakfast. Loved every minute of our stay and discovered my new go-to hotel in Ghent !
