Staff went out of their way - Great hotel

A modern, clean and spacious hotel. Our family room was fantastic, our daughter loved her bunk beds and the large cuddly toy animals left to play with. The hotel even left a rucksack and soft toy for our young son in his cot. Lovely bath, large comfy bed with TV in front. Really happy with the accommodation. Probably more of a business hotel than traditional family hotel, but the facilities were still great for kids and staff were very helpful to accommodate our young kids. There is a small play area with slide and climbing frame and my daughter especially enjoyed watching the chickens! The service could not have been better, hotel reception and restaurant staff helped to warm milk and meals for our children and gave helpful guidance for trips into the city. There is a large supermarket right next to the hotel built into the Gent football stadium which next door. Incredible location on a matchday. Worth noting that the hotel is a small distance from central Gent. We found it easy to reach by bus and tram (25 mins total). The hotel staff offered to arrange us taxis for approx $20. Driving was a little trickier due to the low emission zone in central Gent but again staff pointed us towards parking options.

The hotel is next to a stadium and on an industrial estate. You cannot get anywhere from the hotel as its far from the city. The views from the rooftop bar are of factories, cranes and car parks. The hotel is expensive and is nicely decorated but they have the audacity to then charge for everything else, parking, an extra bed for a child and even a drop if milk for a tea in my room. Staff are unbothered by guests and bordering on rude.

Quality, luxury and high-tech are 3 words that come to mind. A distance from Ghent centre but easy and exciting transport on local bus and tram. Staff are first class - special mention of a waitress in the Lobby bar ( short Cambodian lady) who provided friendly and excellent service to my family.

Very good breakfast, safe parking on site

It was difficult to find the entrance to the carpark for the hotel. Safe parking with barrier entry. €10 per night. Restaurant was the only place to eat in the evening due to refurbishment. Food and service were excellent although a bit pricey The roof top bar was closed on the Wednesday night when we stayed Separate toilet and shower room ( no door on shower room ) which was handy. Lighting in shower room wasn't very bright, not good enough to put your make up on ! Selection of teas was limited to either green tea of earl grey. We felt that the pillows were too soft and there was no opportunity to change. Breakfast selection was extensive, we enjoyed our meal. Overall a good stay but could have been a bit better for the price

Unbelievable experience

This was our second time here. We felt so rested the room was so comfortable,. Everything was above expectation and didn't disappoint, I love the bed, slept like babies. My husband and I are tall people and we felt like ants in that bed. It was so damn comfortable and bathroom was so classy with everything you need and everything was of good quality not the dry stuff that leaves your skin itching. The staff was lovely and the restaurant had a lot of options on offer for all meals.one of the best burgers I've had and pheasant breast and the beef stew thingy was yum. Will go back if I can again. Great experience
