Excellent location

The hotel's greatest plus is it's location, right next to the cathedral. We were a group of 8, in 4 twin rooms and it served our needs perfectly. We opted for breakfast in the second morning which was value for money, with some hot options as well as cold.

Very small room

The location was excellent and the breakfast was good. However, the room was the smallest double room we have ever stayed in (we are fairly well travelled), the bathroom was cramped and the toilet was positioned in such a way that you could not sit straight on it as the wall in front was too close. Maybe we were unlucky with the room we were given but I could not recommend this hotel from our experience of it.

Gent is Beautiful and Hotel Location is A+

We arrived to the hotel via tram from the train station. The location of this hotel is awesome! Literally the most popular sites are outside the door. The downside is that it was very noisy outside from people walking by very early in the morning. We kept the window open at night to get the room cool and for fresh air. The front staff and housekeepers whom we met were friendly. I loved hearing the church bells ringing. Overall, we would stay again. Gent captured our hearts.

Perfect location, lots of bars and restaurants around. Hotel staff was friendly and helpful. Room wasn't too big, did not have a safe or a mini bar. But if you are staying for a night or two it is no biggie. Area seemed really safe too. Cathedral was just outside our room, and had a great view. Try getting a room ending with an even number. Enjoy the stay.
