The location cannot be faulted. However the room we were allocated was not of the standard we expected. No mirror in the room, other than the one in the bathroom (which you could not get close too). Very tight space around the bed. Towels were of poor quality. Considering what we paid we expected better quality overall.

2 Days in Ghent

The hotel was located a short walk from the castle on a pretty cobbled street with shops and restaurants typical of Ghent. The bed was really comfortable, the room spacious and the bathroom well appointed with a good shower. The reception staff were very friendly and helpful and a good continental breakfast was provided.

It was ok. Had a very bad first night of sleep as the radiator was making noises throughout the night. It woke me up a few times so I have decided to turn it off the next night. The room was small and outdated but the location excellent.

I booked a suite which has panaramic views of the city. The hotel is smack in the middle of the old town centre and has a car park. The room was much better than I imagined.
