I loved the design of the hall and the restaurant/breakfast area. It seemed like the perfect spot for working/studying/chilling. Plus, the chef was Italian and we had an authentic delicious pizza margherita. We didn't expect that! We had a room on the first floor and it was super quiet. I really appreciated it since I have a light sleep.

Located in the Flemish region of Belgium, the beautiful medieval city of Ghent is not only a city of history, but also a romantic place
to visit. The city is full of hidden historical, cultural and culinary gems that you can easily discover.
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.
Part of the UNESCO World Heritage list, the Belfry of Ghent is a medieval tower overlooking the Old Town centre. Saint Bavo Cathedral and Saint Nicholas' Church are the city's other two towers, with St. Nicholas' Church being one of the oldest landmarks in Ghent (known as Gent in Flemish).
Enjoy a relaxing walk in the picturesque medieval streets and stop at one of the charming traditional restaurants for Belgium beer and a classic Flemish meat stew with French fries. Local delicacies include the popular Belgium chocolate and the purple jelly-filled candies called the 'noses'.
Antwerp International Airport is 52 km away, while Brussels Airport is 55 km. Just book your hotel, guest house, apartment, or B&B through Booking.com and discover everything this stunning city has to offer.
We spent 3 nights in Ghent. There are lots of cultural attractions and it’s easy to keep busy here. Ghent has a visitor pass that is for either 2 or 3 days and it includes admission to many sites, as well as a scenic boat tour , hop on and hop off boat taxis, and all public transportation. Also, with the pass, you don’t need any reservations for attractions that normally require them. It was about €42 per person for the 2 days. Well worth it!

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...
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!
From first contact with Herbert, we knew we are about to have a wonderful time in his property. And we weren’t wrong! Lovely and polite owners who did awesome job with decorating the apartment. There is really nothing that you will miss. Kitchen and bathroom fully equipped, towels and bedding at disposal, everything very clean and cosy. Rooftop terrace is a hidden gem! Connection to city center is easy, either with bus, or Uber.
We can definitely recommend this place, and we are sure we will come stay here again next time we visit Belgium.
Host was great, nothing was too much trouble. Location is good - think Manchester in Belgium - old docklands, but with the industrial infrastructure left in place. It's outside the tourist centre (although a level, easy walk of 25 mins) and all the better for that. Supermarket nearby - and the best beer shop in town (although closed on Sundays & Mondays). Parking is 8Euros a day in the underground carpark for apartment residents beneath the block - very easy to leave the car safely there for your stay.
I really enjoyed the entire atmosphere and scenery. The hotel was in a great location, close to the main tourist attractions and to my local companions. The lobby and the room were both beautifully furnished and decorated, furthermore everything I needed was already in the room. The room was spacious, warm and cozy. The reception staff was friendly and very helpful every time I spoke with them. Great hospitality :) I will definitely recommend this place when someone plans to visit Ghent.
This is a modest hotel conveniently located across the plaza from the train station in Ghent. My room was large, well heated, and comfortable with a view over the park to the train station, the bathroom was spotlessly clean. There is a tram from the train station to the city center and other places of interest and the museum of fine arts is in the Citadel Park a few minutes walk away. The hotel has a restaurant and offers breakfast as well as evening meals.
The central location was ideal! The response from staff was great. We arrived by car and needed directions for parking and the staff gave specific details that eased our stress when driving in to Ghent. The street in front of the hotel is currently under construction and we had to park a few blocks away. Because of the staff communication, we arrived easily.
The host was very friendly, efficient and accommodating and so was the lady that received us. The place was well equipped, comfortable and super clean. Security was good. We will most definitely recommend to others and also stay there again if we go to Belgium again. Thank you for allowing us to use your lovely accommodation.
This hotel was the highlight of our trip to Belgium, clean comfortable and spacious room with a great shower. The deck is perfect for sitting in the sunshine enjoying a bottle of wine
We enjoyed a delicious breakfast and impeccable service from Sven he lent us a kettle. We wouldn't hesitate to book again if in Ghent!
The Boatel was a great experience. The room and entire boat was spotless and comfortable. Sven was an great host and the breakfast was excellent. I would highly recommend staying here if you are in Ghent --a different type of hotel experience that is definitely not cookie cutter.
The hotel is big, modern and clean compared to the ones in Ghent city center. Big parking slot with a reasonable price of 10 eur per night. There is a big supermarket just in front which makes the stay super convenient if you need to grab a thing or two.
The atmosphere is quite nice as it is in an old monastery.
The location is not too far from the center of Ghent with its various sights.
Could become a great place if they change their attitude and come up to normal hotel standards.
Superb location within a 5 min walk to the heart of Ghent. In a great neighbourhood with loads of trendy bars and cafes. An extremely well-designed building that feels just like home, but with all the touches of a boutique hotel.
Comparing with other options, this hotel was a good value for money. The owner was very kind, and helped us with parking, warmed up our food (because of the strict diet, we can only eat the food we cook ourselves).
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.
Cozy and nice hotel in Ghent! One could have a strong wifi connection in each room. The breakfast service is provided on the top floor of the hotel, and one can have breakfast at the table at the terrace!
Studio was clean which is normal in Belgium !
Bed was comfortable.
Coffee machine in the room.
Good free parking next to the road.
A bakery close by to buy breakfast.
Small sauna in the room.
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!
