We liked the hotel and Ghent, had 1 magical day there. There were exceptionally comfortable beds and a flat-screen TV with satellite channels, a mini fridge bar and coffee/tea makers in the small double room. This property was located in a very central area near to the main attractions, the canal, the bridge.

It was worth its 3 stars. The bed was comfortable and we loved our stay there. Nice breakfast, a good choice of options available.
Rooms were very dark.

In a magnificent position with a pretty canal view. Booked a superior king room with a personal safe, air conditioner and a study table. What's more, getting to ghent city center on foot takes about 5 mins. Good breakfast with a wide array of hot/cold dishes;)))
Wet bathroom.
