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 Gravensteen or "Castle of the Count" is a deceptively enchanting sight dating back to the Middle Ages. Constructed by Philip of Alsace, the count of Flanders, it's partially surrounded by a moat and beautifully restored, and hosts an interesting museum about the history of prison life.

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.
Location suited us perfectly as we arrived in Ghent by train and the hotel was just across from the railway station. There was a great variety of restaurants within walking distance and the food available in the Hotel Castel was excellent. The Station was also a depot for all buses and trams and there was a taxi rank at the same location. We purchased a 3 day ticket 15 Euro each ,at the Information Office there ; which meant we were able to take trams or buses everywhere. this made it so convenient and cheap to explore the City.
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.
I liked everything about this hotel. It was the most hospitable, comfortable and high standard place in its class that I have ever experienced. I was a little unsure about it but had my expectations exceeded. The suite was spacious and totally fit for purpose for a degree of self sufficiency but with all the 5 star options if required. I have no hesitation in recommending the Residence Inn Marriott Ghent.
We had been on a bit of a tour of Belgium by the time we reached Violet Suites so can truly say, this was our favourite of many hotels. The room was beautiful and comfortable and the host offered many treats to guests including complementary breakfast items and snacks. We were made to feel very welcome. The property is just a short walk from the main attractions in Gent, on a nice quiet street.
The man who handed the keys was friendly and gave us a booklet about Gent and gave some tips. I lived in Belgium for 5 years and visited Gent many times so it was good to get some latest updates. He explained how to open the door at night and the escape door in case of fire. The small kitchen was well equipped and everything seemed very new.
Compared to other hotels in Ghent, the price of this hotel fee is pretty reasonable. Our room was very quiet and there are one big supermarket very close to the hotel, so it is very easy to go shopping from the hotel. Ghelamco Arena is also close from the hotel, so it is quite convenient place to enjoy soccer matches in Ghent.
The hotel is small and beautiful and right in the medieval part of ghent. The owner was wonderful and very accommodating.
Room did indeed have a view. Very close to central ghent. Breakfast was lavish and very delicious. The best hotel we have stayed in in a long time. Our special thanks to the owner.
Rooms are clean and the location is perfect for a day trip to Brugge. It is very near to the Ghent sint pieters station and tram stop is just right at the door step of the hotel which makes it easy to get into the center of Ghent. The staff are very helpful and nice.
This hotel is fantastic! Comfortable beds, great bathrooms and water pressure, friendly and helpful staff, large breakfast, elegant but not stuffy. Great location to Ghent’s historic district, but very quiet.
Staff were extremely pleasant and went out of their way to help. Hotel well situated to see the best that Ghent has to offer. Good continental breakfast. Bedroom and bathroom both decently sized.
I was in Ghent looking for traditional Belgian fries. The hotel had a prepared list of nice frieteries. I went to the one recommended by the reception on Tuesday afternoon. Her choice was great!
Extra friendly staff at check in. He gave us a map showing us things to see and showed us to our room. Sweet, unique and comfortable room. Our favorite hotel on our trip so far. Excellent!
Everything was excellent except for the lack of elevator. But it is normal for this kind of buildings in Belgium . Only the people aged over 65 might consider twice before booking.
It was at a great location (heart of Ghent!) and it was extremely clean and tidy. One of the nicest hotels I’ve stayed in while traveling across Europe. Bathrooms was lovely.
The design and everything in the room are from Belgium brand, and the room is very cozy and comfortable. The location is good, so it’s easy to visit famous tourist spots.
Exceptionally beautiful hotel right on the central square in Ghent. Perfect location. also beautiful room. Terrific breakfast and super-cool cocktail bar. Wonderful.
