We were not happy with our overall stay. The rooms appeared shabby compared to the years we have stayed before. There were two of us in the room but only one bottle of free water. The staff were very unfriendly and rude (they did not acknowledge you for breakfast or smile and would push past you in the breakfast room) apart from the lovely tall lady in the bar, she was fun and friendly. We did complain about our shower being blocked and that was sorted quickly.

Excellent location

Msh Business - 23/11/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

Location was fantastic. Breakfast was fine. No water was provided in the room, despite the notice on the fridge saying there was a bottle provided on arrival. Toiletries were a bit sparse. Only shampoo and shower gel provided. Additional toiletries were provided in some rooms. At a minimum I would also expect conditioner and perhaps a body lotion.

Does the job.

Well located, friendly staff, clean. Unfortunately the was some sort of a party in the building opposite my window, which wasn't very sound proof, so it was noisy and I slept poorly.

Wrong invoice address - I NEED COMPANY ADDRESS

Customer review rating 0.5/5

Olatz D. L. Q. -. A. S. (. P. P. R. P. S. T. P. /. 2. M. S. Business - 22/11/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

I requested during the check-in to made the invoice to my company address and I writte is down in the check-in form, I initially received the invoice with my home adddress, I have sent 3 emails to get someone to fix it, the first question they made is, which is the address, I indicated again, and they sent me an invoice with my previous addess and a comment in the botton. When someone ask for an specific address is for an specific reason, so next time I need to stay in Gent I will probably stay in another hotel that is able to indicate the correct address in the invoice, wihtout requesting it several times.

The stay was good, however, it would be good to have some stationery in the room (like a notepad and a pen) that can be used to take some quick notes...

Nice location, Good stay for one night

1. Welcome Drinks - "of your choice", but read the "small print"... 2. Chamber maid services - Poorest Choice to employ "Under-trained Africans", NO greetings, smile and seem like they're forced to do it out of money. IBIS is better option then w/ their team of Asians!

Good stay

central located but a bit worn down

Customer review rating 3.5/5

Gerard Couples - 01/11/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

the hotel is centrally located, there are homeless people sleeping downstairs on the square though and people partying under the overhang till late on rainy nights it seems. The hotel itself is a bit worn down which you can see on the carpets, wallpaper and the painting of doors etc, as well as the bathroom. Beds are good, standard pillows can be replaced with spare ones if you want a different type. We booked a junior suite and the room and bathroom definitely were not as on the picture, probably the refurbished room is in the picture and we had a non-refurbished one. In the central lobby there was a clear issue with the sewer which caused quite a bad smell. Probably a temporary thing, but not pleasant for sure. Overall, acceptable hotel but definitely things to be looked at for a more pleasant stay and more positive review.

A more than ok hotel at a good location.

The refrigerator did not work, it was just blinking and not providing any cold. I told the reception and reply was to pull the cord. Well, that rarely makes refrigerators work. All other things were as I expect and want them on work trips. Good location, good breakfast, good bar for a break after work.

Dirty room with a lot of mosquitos and very loud

KAINRAZIEL 14/08/2021 TripAdvisor review

1. Breakfast needs way more updating. I stayed in Brussels, Antwerp, Mons and Gent. This hotel had the worst breakfast of them all. 2. Parking is super tight! Ended up scratching my car while trying to get out of the parking garage! 3. A/C does not work!. It turns on but does not cool. Ended up getting 2 fans from front desk which where so small they caused not impact. 4. The only plus on this hotel is that is centric to all sites. However, as i walked around I noticed there were more hotels within the vicinity providing the same central location.

Good

wim2977 22/01/2020 TripAdvisor review

Put the bed 30cm further from the wall for more comfort. Now it is difficult to get in or out of bed. Very nice breakfast and good bed. Clean room and bathroom. Pleasant stay in the heart of the city.

Dear Wim, Thank you for taking time to review your recent visit. It is rewarding to know that you had an enjoyable stay and appreciated our high standards. Thank you for your suggestion regarding the position of the bed, we will certainly be taking this into consideration in order to ensure the comfort of our future guests. We are also glad that you enjoyed our breakfast. With such a great variety of both sweet and savoury foods, there is something for everyone to enjoy at the beginning of their day. We hope that you will return for an even better experience in future. Kind regards, Petra DE MEYERE, General Manager
