The hotel is overrated and isn’t worth the money you pay. The rooms are quite old and have no soundproofing. We had to listen to people yelling outside all night until 4 am, and then at 5 am garbage trucks were collecting trash outside. None of us got a good night’s sleep, and we were quite happy that we had only booked one night.

Friendly staff and quick check in. Room was clean and comfortable. The hotel is an outstanding location and you can walk (20 mins) from the train station or catch a tram. Breakfast was terrific and offered plenty of variety for all dietary needs.

Extremely convenient central location. Clean economic rooms with a nice bed and thoughtful details. Some noise due to its location, which is understandable. Had a great stay.

Hotel staff weeee great and helpful, especially assisting us with a medical emergency and being accommodating. Rooms are nice and clean. Hotel is very nice and clean. Location is fantastic for touring the main sights of old Ghent. Only issue with the hotel is it was noisier than previous hotels, poorer sound proofing between rooms and especially to outside. But overall a great hotel and good value!

The hotel itself is clean, well maintained & reasonably comfortable. The location is wonderful, right across the street from the cathedral. The staff I dealt with were all pleasant and helpful. However, there are a number of little annoyances. Of course there's no soundproofing so you hear every noise inside & outside the hotel. The slot for your key, to switch the power on, is not beside the door so you have to hold the door open or grope around to find it. The bathroom was very cramped with the toilet set awkwardly behind the door. There were no hand towels or face cloths, just rather small bath towels. The climate control did nothing so the room was always too warm. There were no bedside tables. The mattress was ok but not very high quality.
