    There is no elevator so be careful with heavy luggage, we were luckily on the first floor and were travelling with smaller luggage bags. Nothing else to note.

    Location is excellent - 5 minute walk and you are the centre of the old city. If parking at the hotel is full, there is nearby public parking that was amazing (we used that one). Breakfast included pastries, fruits and yoghurt - really good value for the cost. Rooms were spacious and facilities had everything we needed. Excellent for a weekend stay to explore Ghent further. Also the hostess was very friendly and informative about Ghent, provided us with a map and explained where all the key highlights are and recommended a walking route - really appreciated that!

    The noise outside late into the night was horrendous. Many songs being sang, lots of screaming shouting until 5am. Felt like it was in the room with us. It woke my husband and teenager who sleep through anything so it must of been bad. Hotel itself good but the noise was horrendous.

    Plenty of space. Good location Clean Comfy beds

    There was no light in the shower and no mini-fridge in the room unfortunately. We would have really liked a fridge with some bottled water. They also charged my card before I arrived which wasn't supposed to happen- we wanted to pay with another card and only used mine to reserve the booking. What we REALLY didn't like was that the reception is not occupied 24/7. There was a fire alarm activated once at 3am and luckily one of the employees sleeps at the hotel so she could react, but it still took about 20 minutes to shut it off. It happened again the next day around 9am and since NOBODY was working there, it took almost an hour to stop it. We called the emergency services and the emergency number listed on our key cards. It was due to a leak and a faulty sensor. The whole time we had to wait outside. This was obviously not a very nice experience and highlighted how important it is to always have the reception occupied! For this reason, I'm not sure I would stay there again, especially because it is a safety concern. It's unfortunate because otherwise we really enjoyed ourselves.

    The rooms were spacious and comfortable. There was also an AC unit! The staff was friendly and the breakfast was good with a lot of options. The location was also great.

    The location is very good, walking distance to restaurants, shopping and attractions. My room was medium sized with a good size bathroom, both very clean. Air condition was perfect but wifi was very weak in my room with a lot of disconnections. Breakfast was good. The staff were very friendly and welcoming and always available to help.

    The overall impression was that the hotel needs some internal work. Fresh carpets and paint. No lift to the upper floors.

    I picked this hotel because it had secure parking for our motorcycles. The hotel has three garages where they could be parked safely. The room was functional but I must say that my bed and pillow were very comfortable indeed. Our bedroom, 6, was clean and fairly modern with a decent bathroom and shower No view from our window. Breakfast was the usual European self serve.
