East Flanders Province accommodation from NZ$147

Room was of a good size. Staff was friendly and attentive.

This hotel had a few very good benefits. 1- Location. This hotel was very close to the center of town, which made it easy to walk to all the sites. 2- Air conditioning. This was a huge plus during the recent heat wave in Europe. We were able to walk around for 2 hrs then come to the hotel to cool down. 3- free water and coffee in the lobby. In the lobby was a cold water fountain with either flat or sparkling water. You don’t realize how nice this is until you’ve been wandering around the Netherlands and Belgium and everyone charges for water. Beds were comfortable. There was plenty of plugs in the room to charge phones, etc. My only suggestion for improvement was to add another pillow on each bed. We also selected to include the breakfast. The croissants and pastries were delicious but the rest (bacon, cold cuts, cheese, scrambled eggs) were pretty inedible in our opinion. However there is juice, specialty coffees, pastries and fruits so that was ok. There is also a very nice grocery store one block away where we bought fresh fruits and sandwhiches.

Parking shared with the other hotels, but not an issue. Extra cost for parking (daily). Gym was clean and kit well maintained. Lots of variety at breakfast, a very good spread and fresh hot options always available. A short taxi ride into Ghent (15-20 mins). Would stay again.
