Lovely hotel in the heart of the city

What a lovely hotel in a great location in the very heart of the city. The staff were superb.

Bästa Belgien

Helt fantastiskt stort rum med både dubbelsäng och enkelsäng för mig och min dotter! Kaffekapslar varje dag, badrock och tofflor ingick också. Suverän frukost med mycket att välja emellan. Gott kaffe i maskinen. Mycket trevlig turkisk (?) familj som skötte allt. Utsikten var inte så vacker med hus som höll på att restaureras. Låg på en lugn gata nära till torget med restauranger och sevärdheter. Hade en mycket trevlig vistelse i Gent. Ett tips är att ta tåget i ca 1 h till Brugge! Sååå mysig stad med kullersten och massor att utforska! Testa olika ölsorter. Köp även med lite god Belgisk choklad.

We arrived to find the AC wasn’t working and construction activity was going on right next door! Staff were very helpful but there was little they could do. Hotel boss was going to call/write us ….he has yet to do so.
