A really nice, friendly, clean hotel, located very close to the main train station in Ghent. Staff were all very helpful and kind, breakfast was lovely, and it suited us to be very close to the station due to transport. It took 15-20 mins to walk into the old city. We were very happy here!

“Perfect hotel for staying in Ghent & sight seeing surrounding areas!”
The location is perfect for a stay in Ghent. The hotel is conveniently situated 5 mins from the main train station, down a quiet road. With a a couple of shops near by. Outside the train station is also bus & tram stops which also take you straight into the centre, only 7mins. Alternatively we found it a nice 15 20min walk along the shops into the centre. Very nice shopping in Ghent & Bruge too! The hotel is smaller, very friendly helpful staff and the breakfast offers Organic, fresh produce, with help yourself & freshly cooked breakfast options too! The rooms are large, heating if required, air con and decent tv with streaming Netflix. The rooms was a nice big size, decent large windows that open, perfect in summer and yet quiet! I am aware of noise and felt here was lovely. I did wear good gel type ear plugs too but felt very relaxed and a good sleep in the room. Also have a full size mirror! The hotel staff are also very welcoming and helpful for enquires. We loved Ghent it is a beautiful place and perfect for the Christmas markets. Not too busy and we visited Dec 13-17. A visit to Bruge early evening in Dec is perfect as the night sky draws in, the lights and cobbled streets become an array of cosy Christmas fairy tale. The trains are regular, clean and smooth. 5 mins walk from train to Bruge centre and shopping wow! Very picturesque and Ghent is bigger and just a pretty. As some one who has travelled alone I would also stay here as a solo traveler. Quite safe to walk to and from the hotel into the centre. We found walking easy. Turn right out of hotel, right again up a slight hill, past shops and food places, a slight left walk about 10 mins to traffic lights (you will see more people heading the same direction towards to the centre) then head right, nice walk past the shops towards the canals & historic centre.
