Ok stay

Arrived at 2:45 and asked if room was ready (member arrivals from 3pm). Was told it would be at least 30 minutes (which would then be after check-in time). Eventually got into the room at 3:20pm. Came back down at 4:15pm and other families still waiting. 1/2 a toilet roll in the bathroom. Only decaf coffee pods available. No milk or creamer in room. Conditioner hadn't been restocked either. Building works currently ongoing very close- we were woken at 7:30am to the sound of banging and drilling! But it was good value and a decent size room for our family of 4. Breakfast also had a decent selection too.

Service pas sérieux.

J’ai demandé un lunchpakked via email lors de la réservation, on m’a répondu ok, puis j’ai confirmé ma demande lors du Check in on m’a répondu ok. Lors du Check out à 3h30 du matin je demande mon lunchpakked comme prévue mais on m’informe que je n’aurais celui ci. Je n’ai donc pas pu me restaurer et je suis resté sans mangé de 17h00 le 22/04 à 12h00 le 23/04 en étant debout depuis 3h00 du matin. Je travaille très régulièrement à Gand, je choisirai un autre hôtel la prochaine fois je pense.

Redelijk nieuw hotel direct naast de snelweg naar Antwerpen. Alles erg netjes, kamers klein en erg warm. Bedden niet zo fijn. Fijne android tv, met stream mogelijkheden. Slapen met raam open is geen optie door de herrie van de snelweg. Hotel ligt ver buiten centrum. Bushalte voor de deur. Met bus en overstap op tram in 40 min in de mooie stad met heel veel terassen. Parkeren bij hotel voor 19 euro per dag is best veel geld.

From awful to perfect

First night was horrible, a door was separating my room to the next one. I could hear the guy snoaring and talking, awful. I dont get why they propose this type of room to single person. After complaining the next day i was moved to another room which was perfect. The guy was very helpful and kind. Room.was clean and tidy.

Modern, comfortabel en schoon.

Fijn en recent opgeleverd hotel. Comfortabele en schone kamers. Douchecabine is lekker ruim. Meer dan voldoende oplaadplekken voor elektrische auto’s. Daar het hotel op een industrieterrein zit, is €19 wel wat gortig voor het parkeren. Ontbijtbuffet is toereikend, maar betreft het standaard Holiday Inn-ontbijt. Iets meer variatie in de warme gerechten en bijvoorbeeld verse jus d’orange waren welkom geweest, maar dit is echter meer aan algemene Holiday Inn-issue.
