A good stay with family

We arrived a bit after 10pm, when the staff closes the desk and access to the property. We called from the entryway and were given access via a code we entered into a lockbox right there. The place was clean, and everything worked fine. The furniture could be more comfortable and the space would feel more welcoming with some interesting art on the walls and perhaps a rug, but sleeping was great, even in the cot where my 23yo rested very well, and there was enough room for us 3 to spread out and enjoy each other.

Great Ghent

This is a fantastic place to stay. Close to public transport. Well appointed, spacious rooms. The staff were incredible, especially Meliesa, who will definitely win receptionist of the year. She went over and beyond, train tickets, bus timetables, city card, recommendations of places to visit all with a cheerful, happy demeanour. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Castelnou Apartments and would recommend it to any traveller.

Good hotel choice

Staff was friendly, and even provided nice brochures with useful information. Breakfast was good. Bathroom was alright. The room was very spacious. The room's kitchen was well equipped. The hotel is close enough to be able to reach the city's center by walking, but also happens to conveniently have public transportation close by. Overall a good hotel choice to visit Ghent.

The staff were all lovely; Luc was especially helpful, gave great advice, recommendations, directions. The suite was a really great size. The furniture in the room was starting to look shabby and the two drains in the bathroom were slow. For some reason the TV kept turning off. I would stay there again.

Another treasure to add to the treasures of Ghent

Stayed for 5 days and would have to say it is the friendliest hotel with most helpful staff we have experienced. Large rooms, spotlessly clean and amazing breakfast included in price. Catered for gluten free ( if advised beforehand) with a special plate of rolls and pastries brought to table. Ghent itself is the best treasure (the Ghent Alterpiece 16E tour essential) but also a good base place to stay for train trips to Brugge, Antwerp etc. The hotel is about a 15 minute walk to Gand Dampoort station and also a 15 minute walk to historic centre. But it’s a nice walk along the canals. Also a bus outside hotel for 2.5 euros if desired ( or reception sell 10 tickets for 17 euros for buses and trams). We would definitely recommend this hotel if you are fit enough to do the walks to station or town or have a car. Don’t miss the little hidden market just a few hundred metres away with wonderful local produce of fruits veges cheeses coffee and cakes. The hotel has cooking facilities in each room if needed
