    Bathroom could do with an update

    It was 2 mins from the train station, which we had some trips booked and only 20mins walk to centre ! Very clean and very friendly staff

    Bathroom needs improvement. Bath is dangerous if used as a shower as no bath mat. Water pressure is poor. I put cold on the basin and my wife was nearly scalded in the shower. Litter - cardboard out for collection on all 3 days of our visit - not at the hotel but all other premises down the street. It doesn't leave a good first or last impression.

    Staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good value with a wide choice. Parking was convenient and secure. TripAdvisor gave the impression that the hotel was closer to the centre.

    The room was flawless and provided in all the amenities. Breakfast was cooked to order swiftly and was delicious. Checking in and out was easy and hassle free. I don't think I've ever had a room that was so spotlessly cleaned.

    Everything was good but if I had to be picky I would say that the toilet was a bit too close to the wall for my liking and toilet paper hard to reach behind. The hairdryer was a bit old.

    Liked the large size of this room. Bed was super comfy, as were the side chairs. It's an older place and shows it age on walls, doors and skirting but renovations to furniture and fittings give a modern feel. The position is excellent if you want regular access to the train station. The staff are lovely and helped us out when we needed a linen change half an hour after arriving due to a leaking water bottle. The shower, while not powerful, was fine but it is over a bath, so be aware of that. Highly recommend Paul's burger place across the street if you need some takeaway food.

    Simply nothing.

    Even the standard room is large and quiet with a comfy bed, nespresso machine, quiet aircon and a real, live orchid in room in full bloom! Cook to order hot breakfast is hard to beat and then there is a nice touch of individual cloth hand towels in the reception area toilets.

    Parking in the city is definitely a bit of a problem and their own garage right beside the hotel is tiny, so it is really recommended to book it in advance, if you come with a car. Luckily we got a spot there even though we didn’t.

    First of all, all of the staff was super friendly and helpful from start to finish. I think that is not a coincidence. There wasn’t anything they weren’t prepared to take care of or have a solution at hand and I thought we had some tricky curve balls coming out of our hats. Problems solved 10/10. Rooms were nice and clean and the simple breakfast was well worth it.

    The customer service was outstanding, and the hotel was clean and comfortable. My mother and I had a wonderful experience, and the breakfast was absolutely delicious. We had a wonderful time in Ghent, and the hotel was part of that experience. We look forward to going back, and we have already recommended it to friends who plan on going to Ghent next summer.
