Ghent festival

Got in early and the room was suitable, big and reasonable, but a little dated. Only one towel, so rang down, didn't make a fuss as let in before 3.00pm The room was facing the bell, near St Nicholas church, so relevant to noise from the various Ghent Music Festival sites, but the sound proofing was excellent, so didn't bother us. The room was very hot and the heating / cooling system was old, noisy and inefficient, and the hotel was aware of this as there was a large fan, which only dissipated the hot air around the room, and the window if opened allowed the noise in. Second day we had to ask for two towels again as one only left, and only one tooth brush etc. We booked the sauna in the hotel, free which was great on Saturday, and did the same on Sunday. When we trekked back across town for 7pm, only to be told it was already taken and no record of our booking.

Excellent, very friendly and helpfulreceptionists!

The staff went above and beyond to fullfil all my needs. The temperature in the room was rather cold (very cold weather outside) and I couldn't figure out how the air con works. The receptionist listened to me carefully and then then sent someone to only adjust the temperature in the room but left an additional heating unit in my room should if I need it. the only reason I gave 4 starts for comfort was the noise from outside. The location is central and I had a wonderful view from my room. It was just a bit loud. Maybe should have brought earplugs. Apart from that, both receptionists I had the pleasure of talking to were extremely welcoming, nice and polite. Really appreciate it, thank you! :)
Lovely view from my room!
