The air conditioning was an excellent bonus as weather very hot during our visit. Tea making facilities in room which is unusual on the continent. Happy hour in the bar from 5:30 to 6:30. Bedroom very generous size and bed very comfortable.

Sehr zentral - eine ehemalige Brotfabrik - Industriekultur! Absolut Superservice an der Frontdesk! Vielen Dank an den Praktikanten. Very central, a former bread factory - industrial architecture - at least the old part. I'd like to thank the intern at the front desk who was very friendly and forthcoming.

Ghent River Hotel is overlooking the river Leie, and it is the only hotel in Ghent that can be reached by boat. Just a stone's throw away from the city centre. This elegant hotel is a combination of two historic buildings: a renaissance house from the year 1518 and an old cotton factory dating back to the year 1857. Some rooms still contain specific details of this old factory. The hotel is famous for its stunning breakfast room, situated at the top floor, with a sun terrace. On the ground floor you can enjoy a drink in the cosy bar or on the quiet patio. And you can use the sauna and gym. Or you can hire bicycles a 5-minute walk from the hotel.
