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.
Jonathan, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel is clean, comfy, and reasonably priced with an excellent location. I can see the Ghent River from my room and access St Bavo's Cathedral within walking distance without the hustle and bustle. The staff is friendly and very accommodating on late check-ins and early check-outs.

4/10 Fair

Outdated interior and old, smelly wall-to-wall carpets, gym (fitness room) is a tiny and narrow room squeezed with some equipment, barely space to use anything. Breakfast is ok, good standard. Staff is friendly.
Wolfgang, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Can you please send me a receipt for whatever fees you took off my credit card after my stay?! I hate it when a hotel does this.

10/10 Exceptional

Overall I enjoyed my stay at the Ghent River Hotel. The rooms were spacious and the bathroom was also large. Points were taken away for cleanliness because of some cobwebs that were above the bed and sink. I was also taken aback by stored luggage being left by the front entrance- easy for anyone to take. However, overall I would recommend the Ghent River Hotel and I'm sure a view of the river would have made this hotel even more grand,

4/10 Fair

Room was not as advertised.

Booked a room with a double and two singles, but got downgraded to a room with just a double. The hotel management were rude and did not sort the issue and refused a partial refund for the difference between the more expensive room and the cheaper room they provided. Apparently we "should have been grateful for the amazing rate we got" . 😂😂😂.

Sehr zentral gelegenes Hotel

Wir waren sehr zufrieden mit dem Hotel, das ganz zentral liegt; das Personal ist freundlich, das Frühstück gut, die Zimmer sauber und geräumig; der Frühstücksraum oben mit Dachterrasse bietet einen schönen Blick auf die Stadt; der Blick war allerdings getrübt wegen einer großen Baustelle in unmittelbarer Nachbarschaft;

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.
