The hotel is clean, comfy, and reasonably priced with an excellent location. I can see the Ghent River from my room and access St Bavo's Cathedral within walking distance without the hustle and bustle. The staff is friendly and very accommodating on late check-ins and early check-outs.

Outdated interior and old, smelly wall-to-wall carpets, gym (fitness room) is a tiny and narrow room squeezed with some equipment, barely space to use anything. Breakfast is ok, good standard. Staff is friendly.

Central location

Our room was upgraded to a suit in the old part of the hotel. The room was very spacious but quite dark. Check in was a challenge as although we had booked a B&B rate reception was adamant that our booking was room only. Luckily the app showed breakfast was included and they eventually accepted it. Breakfast had a good selection but was very busy. The hotel has a central location Nice big bathroom
