Calm and charm

Hotel with a lot of charm and friendly staff. Parking at the hotel and easy to drive to is a real plus in a city like Gent where the centre is car free.

Cheryl, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful art deco hotel, very close to Ghent Sint-Pieters train station, only a two stop tram ride or 5 minute cycle. Staff was very welcoming and helpful to tell you any destinations in Ghent. Would stay again!

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely hotel, great location

Lovely hotel - huge and very clean and comfort room. Carlos on reception could not have been more friendly and helpful - we arrived much earlier than our check in time but our room was ready so we were able to check in and he showed us how to book and access the pool and also provided a map and guide and advised where to catch the tram into town. The pool is quite little but you book a one- hour slot just for yourself/family so it is more than adequate and also lovely and warm! Hotel location is great - around 10 mins into the beautiful town on the tram and we walked back which took about 45 mins. Also plenty of places to eat in the evening within walking distance.
Sherralee, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very helpful on reception. Some breakfast service was better than others. Maybe wearing headphones hinders hearing the customers' requests. Ckeaning staff on Sunday was excellent, other days not so. I still think there is a tiwel under the bed that must have been there before we arrived. Ionly saw it when I checking before we left. I would certainly vidit this hotel again. The swimming pool is bejue and quirky but very needed after a busy day at the Christmas markets.
Kevin, 4-night trip

4/10 Fair

Not how I expected

First impression: When me and my family entered the hotel, the young woman in reception wasn’t friendly and welcoming at all. I don’t know if was it because we were a brown family or Muslim! Because they’re well-behaved and smiley to other people, their faces get changed whenever they see us. Second thing: The room wasn’t smelling very good, it was smelling like piss, But clean. The room was big btw and the toilet was great too. The best thing about the hotel is the Pool, a lovely indoor private pool.

Spa Access isn't a given... it could cost extra

Overall, I found the staff at this hotel to be very friendly and accommodating. The Spa area is nice, however was really disappointed to find that they have a system where guests have to reserve it's use at an additional cost. So whilst you can access the pool for free (at set hours provided it's not booked) the other facilities are an additional cost of 35 Euro per hour per guest! The rooms felt dated and the bed wasn't that comfortable. Whilst not central, it's very close to a tram to get into central Ghent and there are a handful of eatiers within walking distance.

Stor familieværelse.

Vi fik en god hjælp af personalet til hvad vi skulle opleve i Gent. Poolområder havde vi for os selv og det var pænt og rent. Der var et lille køkken i vores værelse, hvilket var godt. Værelset var kæmpe stort. Det var tæt på sporvognen så vi kunne komme ubesværet ind til centrum af Gent.
