Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel's rooms are a little on the 'compact' size, but clean and comfortable. The service is professional and friendly, although there was a small issue with the parking directions provided. The location is really good, with easy access to the city center. The dining experience could be improved with a wider selection of items. Overall, a decent stay with some minor areas for enhancement.
The hotel rooms were slightly small but absolutely fine in terms of value for money, location, helpfulness of staff, and other facilities available. They were clean, which is obviously of paramount importance, although not clean enough and there was a mix-up with the booking given to others in error.
The hotel offers quiet and comfortable rooms, but space may feel a bit cramped, especially with a larger pet. The service is welcoming and friendly, though some assistance like taxi calls may be lacking. The location is superb, with easy access to attractions and public transport. Dining provides a standard European buffet with good coffee. Overall, a convenient stay with some minor inconveniences.
I must say that my stay at this hotel was an absolute delight. The location is superb, perfect for exploring Ghent on foot, and with easy access to the tram. The rooms are spotlessly clean, but I found the bathroom a bit small, having to sit sideways on the toilet. The service was impeccable, with the staff being very helpful and providing great recommendations. The dining experience exceeded my expectations with a wide variety of options. Overall, a wonderful value for the money with just minor room size inconvenience.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location was fantastic, right in the heart of Ghent with easy access to attractions, bars, and restaurants. The rooms were a bit of a challenge - hot when the windows were closed but also became quite cold. The service was a mix of rudeness and helpfulness, but they did try to accommodate our needs. The dining was overpriced and not great value for money. Overall, a decent stay but with room for improvement.
My stay at the hotel was excellent overall. The rooms were very spacious and clean, but unfortunately located at the back of the hotel. The service was top-notch with helpful and multilingual staff, although I wish I had known about the low-emission zone and parking restrictions beforehand. The location was superb, with easy tram access to the city center and convenient parking options nearby. Dining was reasonable but slightly overpriced. Overall, a great value for the money.
The hotel is conveniently located in the city, with an excellent top-floor room at the back. The rooms are clean and comfortable, typical of any Ibis hotel. Service was pleasant and helpful, making the stay enjoyable. Although the dining experience was nice, there were some queuing issues for breakfast.
The hotel is conveniently located within walking distance of shops, restaurants, cafes, bars, and attractions in the beautiful city of Gent, offering clean and cozy rooms with comfortable beds and friendly reception. While the rooms are small, they are well-maintained and peaceful at night despite chilly temperatures with functioning AC. Some receptionists may come off as a tad grumpy, but overall, it's a nice place to stay.
