"We only stayed at this hotel for one night. After a long drive, we arrived with no real expectations when booking—our main priorities were having secure parking (note: there’s a €10 fee) and being reasonably close to Ghent city centre.
What we loved about this hotel is that from the moment you walk into reception, it feels clean, modern, and welcoming.
The family room we booked was surprisingly spacious and bright—I honestly didn’t expect to get such a large room for a family. More hotels should take note and offer proper double beds for families! The room even had a comfortable seating area, which was a great bonus.
The only minor downside was the lack of hair conditioner. I always wonder why, in this day and age, hotels don’t provide it as standard. Many travellers rely on small travel-sized bottles, so finding it in a hotel always feels like a thoughtful touch.
Other than that, everything was perfect, and we would definitely stay here again.

"Clean, simple room, spacious enough and even with a nice view, right in the center of town. Beds were comfy, shower warm and strong. The breakfast was great, worth adding."
"This hotel is in a quiet area. It is close to tourist attractions. It is clean but there is no air conditioning. There are free lockers to store your luggage as you wait for check-in or after your check-out."
