    The location is by the stadium which is out of town if you are visiting old Gent. Uber costs under €15 so my advice is use this as cabs on the meter are €20 often for the same car

    The hotel feels brand new and the attention to detail is amazing. High quality beds and rooms do not leave you wanting for more. Limoncello restaurant was great too. Parking is possible plus there is also an underground too. It seems that there is a little known overflow car park just outside the main barriers which leaves people struggling to make cars fit in unusual spaces.

    provide popsicles in the hotel during hot summer, very handy for the many kids that are staying in hotel. i do not like open bathrooms (without door) but that's a personal preference i guess.

    great breakfast, great staff throughout the whole hotel. rooms are clean and comfortable. decent value for money. 10m to center is just ok.

    Nothing

    Everything was lovely about the room, clean and spacious, i would recommend this hotel for individuals with car and planning to visit other nearby cities like Brussels, Bruge, and Antwerp, and there’s also a bus stop nearby (a two-minutes walk) if one is planning to visit the center of Ghent, and yes the hotel would ask you to pay a 150 euros I guess (not sure of the amount) as a deposit during your stay, I prefer to pay it in cash rather than being hold on my credit, and they gave it back after checking that everything is okay in the room

    The first night the venue next door was playing loud music until after 2200 were it was difficult to hear anything else but it.

    Great hotel twenty minutes away from a bus link to the centre.

    The roof top bar wasn't open when we went in July, so that was disappointing. Would of been nice in the evening to have a drink before we went out for dinner.

    Breakfast was very good but expensive.

    Maybe offer a longer breakfast time on weekends especially on saturdays.

    The hotel is decorated in warm and cozy colors and is well air-conditioned. The breakfast is extremely fresh, healthy and beautifully prepared. The bed was comfortable, and the superior room was simply beautifully furnished and very clean.

    If wanting to be in Ghent it is a little far out but Ghent is easily accessible by bike (25min) and a £10euro uber ride away.

    Really clean and comfy and super friendly and helpful staff. Great facilities and lovely sky bar and restaurant.

    There is no door on the bathroom, so its cold when you shower(open shower). The restsurant called Cocotte(inside the hotel) is not worth the reviews as I tried couple of foods it was okay at best and it took a lot of time to serve even when restaurant was not full.

    New and vibrant
