Very central but also very quiet. Reasonable price for Ghent considering we had two children under 16. Outstanding breakfast, although the coffee perhaps was not too good, but the rest was fantastic: salmon, croissants, full English breakfast

Thomas United Kingdom

Very good location in the center! Very family friendly! Excellent breakfast! The room was a bit small and it was very noisy at the weekend (from outside)…but all in all a big recommendation!

Hdl Austria

Ideal location, very easy access to everything in Ghent.Many options to eat out around. The hotel is visibly not new, but it's very well maintained and clean and tidy. Unfortunately didn't get to use the sauna and steam room...

Veselina Czech Republic

Booked the place for Location and Value. Not disappointed at all, pretty much what one can expect with Novotel stays in Europe.

Harsha_nl Netherlands

Jarie Philippines

The hotel had a great central location in Gent with lots of restaurants, shops, and sites nearby. The room and hotel were clean and fresh.

Jennifer Germany

Location was great. The room and everything in it was perfect.

Nicole Germany

Unbeatable location in the city centre, quiet, very spacious and clean room, a good price. The admittedly older AC held-up well and kept the room cool in 28 degrees weather. Fast internet connection and mini fridge in the rooms which is great for longer stays. The gym is closed due to Covid but it wasn't mentioned on Booking - although I could have called to check.
