Great for a family - not swish or posh

We had a nice one night stop over with a massive room for our family of 5. The staff were welcoming and friendly. It is an odd building and pretty tired. Very ‘Fawlty towers’ / art deco / retro. Could be cleaner. We did not eat there. Easy metro to the centre of Ghent which is truely beautiful.

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.

Hotel Orion is a lovely art deco building with lots of charme and wonderful staff. Check in and out was very easy, and having a secure carpark for a small fee was really great. We were able to do laundry for a small fee also. The staff were very accommodating and friendly and always happy to help. The breakfast had a great variety of food and the dining area was also very nice. The walk from the hotel to the city centre is lovely and will only take about 30 minutes.

Not the greatest night sleep. The noise above our room was bad not sure if there is another room or stairs but it was bad that it kept disturbing us and kept us awake. Pool we feel was not clean and sauna was not free.
