Handy location. Close to many nice places yet slightly hidden away. Clean, tidy, quiet, tram nearby, close to the canal, a short walk from the park, main station and beautiful squares. Only thing is the bathroom was a tight squeeze. Otherwise, absolutely fine for a stopover and decent value for the area.

Very quiet nice area and staff are so friendly, they offered two beds room with a good city view. The staff also introduced some sightseeing places to us. The room is big with enough plugs. The only problem is the bed sheet is not clean, there is a small stain of blood. Otherwise the hotel is great. Location is good, not too far from the center.

Perfect hotel for a Gent weekend stay
Perfect for our boys weekend away. It's a 15 minute walk from the city centre and has it's own private underground parking (first come, first served basis) so we could just leave the car and wander the city.
Can't fault the stay - great location, friendly staff, good rooms and priced well. Would definitely stay again if we return to Gent.
