Because there wasn’t a lift, we were accommodated with a large family room on the ground floor which was great. We appreciated the gesture.

Perfectly located in the center of Ghent, the 1898 The Post was a great place to stay and see the city and its surroundings. Located near tram lines that can take you around the city and to the train station (Gent-Sint-Pieters) the hotel is within blocks of several of key sights, so you are able to walk and experience historic Ghent right outside your door. The setup of our room utilized the unique building, giving the maximum amount of space even in our smaller room (letter) which was decorated in a way that is photo shoot worthy and tied back to the building's history. Additionally, the staff is amazing and helped us extend our stay as we were able to secure a visit to the Huyghe Brewery (Delirium Tremens) which is only a short train ride away from Ghent.

The Industrial Museum (MIAT) has impressive and some unique objects, as befits the first Manchester of the continent. Vooruit for workers' social solidarity and a bar. Also thought-provoking is the Dr Josef Guislain museum in a still-used asylum (take tram #2).
Note that some tram routes, e.g, #4 to Nord Dokk, no longer operate.

A historic university city.
A historic university city. Preserves its strong Flemish identity.
Has a vibrant city centre and has a 'gothic feel' to it - but, not as strong as Bruges or to Brussels.
Once the main train station has completed its rebuild, it will enhance the city as a more inviting place.
We had dinner in the student sector and found it expensive. It's easy to get around Ghent by public transport. Trams need to be upgraded with easier payment systems and electronic information boards. Compared to Netherlands, Belgium's Tourist Information-points or Centres are not that easily accessible.
I would avoid staying near the main train station during its current building works due to noise and dust. The latter if you're allergic to dust.

Augmented Reality at St Bavo's Caythedral was exceptional.
Augmented Reality at St Bavo's Caythedral was exceptional. Almost everything in the city is walkable from the centre. Cars, trams, bikes and pedestrians share streets which means being careful when you walk. Altogether this was a visit to remember which will bring a smile to my face. Heartily recommended. With over 5000 students at the university the positive atmosphere was almost tangible. And the quality of life looked very good with excellent restaurants at reasonable prices and chic shops with good design on offer.

A beautiful, lively city with many easily accessible sights, concentrated in the centre. Easy communications by train or bus to/from other towns and good public transport within the city. Plenty of shops, restaurants, cafés, and a large pedestrian area. One can easily spend a few hours in one of the many museums on a rainy day.

Ghent seems to be something of a poor relation to the more famous Bruges. However, I found Ghent to be a thoroughly enjoyable place to visit and certainly lest touristy than Bruges. It's a very walkable city (to be fair, so is Bruges, but Ghent is more compact) which I really enjoy and value.
The local tourist authorities in Ghent have done a superb job with their excellent Visitors' Guide Book (free and printed in colour in the main European languages as well as English) which has a map showing the location of all the main points of interest, together with a succinct explanation of each. I found noting comparable in either Brussels or Bruges.
On my last morning before leaving for Bruges, I visited the very modern city library which was (for me) an enjoyable surprise, particularly after all the much more traditional historical sites. Try not to miss it and try to find time to step inside for a while!

It can get a bit full of walking tours and people in general...
It can get a bit full of walking tours and people in general - don't go at peak tourist times! Away from the centre there are lovely little bars and places to look at. It's crammed with beautiful art nouveau buildings. It prides itself on its artistic and musical connections - lots of students, and you could hear music practice going on in many places. There are local breweries with many delicious beers.
Everything..! To begin with, all the personnel were extremely kind and friendly. And I mean ALL of them. All the guys on the reception, poppy Bar ( specially shlechter? the beautiful dutch lady who was warm and profesional. Luisa, the kind lady of the breakfast (delicious, by the way). We stayed at this hotel like 8 -9 years ago and we came back for lovely Ghent but also for Marriot. Congrats to all the staff. We´ll certainly come back for anothe Ghent-Marriot dose!
The property was built in 1593 by a Spanish marquis, who traded nearby. This fact alone would be enough to impress me, but in addition the staff is very friendly, the interior makes you feel like you're visiting a nobleman, and the location could not be better.
I spent around 20 days travelling in France, Belgium, and the Netherlands, and Ghent was the city that impressed me most. Erasmus Hotel was one of the reasons for it.
The staff was really friendly and giving great service. We nicely had dinner twice in their Midtown Grill restaurant and loved it, very good food and wines! The lobby has a lot of nice sitting space and a lovely bar area, the breakfast was also really good, everybody in the hotel really tries to make you feel at home! Really recommended, it's also located at a perfect spot in the middle of the historic town of Ghent.
I stayed at the B&B Centrum in Ghent for one night and it was a great experience. The hotel was cozy, clean, comfortable, and well-located. I particularly appreciated the early check-in availability and the comfortable bed. We got an access code instead of a key, which was great for us light travelers. The room has a thermostat and Netflix tv.
I highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Ghent.
What a wonderful surprise to walk into this huge apartment. My kids all had their own space and loved how large it was. SO MUCH SPACE! The kitchen was great, the tv room was great and if it was warmer the outside the patio would have been great! I would have loved to stay for longer- nothing better than walking out the door right into the city. We loved this place the most in our Belgium trip!
- Use of the kitchen till 22:00
- A hangout place (with table football/ board games) and a bar
- Lots of storing space in the caravan
- Lots of toilets/ bathrooms
- Friendly staff and easy check in/out
- Breakfast is ok but don't expect too much
- Cheapest option in Ghent if you still want some privacy
- Lots of buses and trams close by (5-7 minutes walking distance)
The hotel is great. The room is very comfortable and clean. Although Ghent is a small city and you can do everything by foot wherever you stay, the hotel is in front of the Gravensteen castle. The location is really great and the surrounding area is just beautiful.
Breakfast was good, with many options and good quality food.
I'd go back there.
Cute little nicely decorated hotel. Breakfast is homemade by the owners. It tasted very good. Only a nice walk of 20+- min away from the city center of a beautiful city. The parking lot is small but there are al lot of possible parking spots surrounding the hotel which are cheap.
Conclusion: cute hotel, good location and nice breakfast.
The location is perfect, you can walk into the centre of Ghent (20mins or so) along some pretty canals. The breakfast buffet was great. The hotel has an underground car park which is very convenient. The garden outback opens up into a stunning public park, where you can walk the dog on a lead. It was perfect.
We enjoyed out stay.
Excellent location. Well run hotel. Good efficient and friendly staff. Decent sized, clean, attractive and well designed room which was nice to be in.
Breakfast good, wide range of choices.
Slightly quirky hotel based on a Comic Art theme ( Big in Belgium) but all the better for having character rather than being soulless.
The owner leaves below the property and she welcomed us at the check in.
The apartment is amazing, in an excellent position and with beautiful style / furniture.
They offer a garage which is close by (10minutes walk) for a cheap price. We also left our bicycles there and is safe
Would recommend this to anyone visiting Ghent
Super hotel with very friendly staff. We messaged the hotel with some queries before our stay and they were very swift to reply and helpful too.
Very clean and a very nice 'feel' to the room too.
The hotel is in the perfect position to explore Ghent. Links via trams and trains to other cities in Belgium are excellent too.
It's a new hotel and you can tell. Rooms are so spacious and relaxing, I needed a good night's sleep after about 20+ km walked in Ghent and I was not disappointed. Everything clean, staff at the reception was kind and friendly, I will be coming back to Den Briel whenever I will find myself in Ghent again.
I enjoyed staying in this hotel. Room large enough, it was a very clean room. Tea pot and coffee were in the room, and scooters were available from the reception, so I took one for a two hours morning ride.
Definitely going to visit Belgium/Gent in 2021 and will stay in Astoria, if will be possible.
Centrally located, clean, and the staff is friendly.
Nice breakfast with a lot of options - you can make your own waffles, very "you're in Belgium". (Although the street the hotel is on also has some awesome breakfast cafes.)
Amazing Historic Hotel in the Heart of Ghent! The hotel was exceptional in every way! The staff was wonderful and we truly loved the cocktail bar as well!
