Hotel berhampiran Speeltuin Platanendreef, Gent

It is a great hotel, but it can be a better one if it hire quality staff. The front desk staff ( chubby guy with a glasses ) is a bit rude, throwing my passport to the desk after confirming the details. That’s make me wonder whether Belgians are in general that unfriendly, especially unfriendly to asian like me?

Mooi hotel op een fantastische locatie. Schoon en netjes, wel prijzig. De bedden waren echt slecht. 4 volw op 1 kamer 2x ”2persoons” bedden heel smal ik denk 140 breed en de bedden lagen door we lagen lager met ons hoofd dan ons benen en voeten heel vervelend. Ramen konden niet open in de kamer en de airco niet lager dan 19 graden.

The room was fine. We needed extra bedding and 2 nice staff came immediately and made the extra bed for us. However! We arrived with a reservation confirmation of 2 adults 1 child. Their confirmation had 2 people therefore the room they had was too small. They did have another room for 3 they said we could have but it would be 30 euros extra. At the time we simply agreed and paid as there was a big queue behind us and the amount was small. Buttons seemed like a con to extract more money from us, it wasn't our mistake as we had confirmation for 3 people at the designated price. It's a shame as I really liked Ghent and will certainly return but there are other hotels to choose from.

My recent four-day stay at the hotel in Gent, Belgium, housed in a charming 19th-century former monastery, was unfortunately marred by several significant issues. Upon arrival, the historic charm of the building was evident and quite captivating. However, the allure quickly dissipated as the stay progressed. Firstly, a standard room lacked en-suite toilets and shower compartments. While this detail is mentioned on the booking site, it is buried in the fine print, a detail easily missed by prospective guests. This is not an amenity gap one would expect from an establishment that charges €135 per night for a standard single-occupation room. Moreover, the hotel failed to provide hot water for two consecutive nights, despite repeated complaints. This fundamental necessity is non-negotiable for any guest, and the hotel’s inability to address the issue promptly was highly disappointing. The lighting situation in several rooms was another major letdown. There were no main lights, leaving rooms dimly lit. When reported, the receptionist unhelpfully and incorrectly stated that the lamps were merely for decoration. This lack of adequate lighting significantly impacted the comfort and usability of the rooms. Adding to the discomfort were the creaking floorboards in the corridors, which disturbed even not-so-light sleepers at midnight. The noise level was unacceptable and further disrupted what was supposed to be a restful stay. While the hotel's historic setting is undeniably beautiful, the experience was marred by these significant issues. For an established hotel, the expectations are high, and basic amenities like hot water, proper lighting, and sound insulation should be a given. Overall, my stay was disappointing, and these issues reflect poorly on the hotel's standards. Future guests should be aware of these potential inconveniences, especially given that some are not adequately disclosed upfront.

Hôtel au top très très très propre service de qualité petit déj savoureux halal et saunas gratuit.

It’s near to the train station but need abit walk to tourist side, nice restaurant around the hotel.

Sehr schönes Hotel im Zentrum von Gent. Gebäude im klassizistischen Stil mit modernen Elementen. Tolles Frühstücksbüffet mit aufmerksamem Service. Check-in war ok, die Check-in Zeit 15 Uhr wurde leider nicht eingehalten. Wir haben aber netterweise ein Upgrade bekommen, daher hat sich das Warten gelohnt. Besonders schön sind die Zimmer mit Balkon zum Innenhof. Das Restaurant hatte geschlossen. Die Drinks im Innenhof waren sehr gut, der Service abends etwas langsam. Man ist vom Hotel schnell zu Fuß in der historischen Innenstadt. Gym und Pool klein aber gepflegt. Insgesamt ein tolles Hotel.
