B&B HOTEL Gent Centrum

B&B HOTEL Gent Centrum

8/10 Good
"We overall had a good stay. The location was very central and walking distance to all the major sights to see. However the cooling unit in the room didn’t work properly and kept shutting itself off so we got quite warm. The espresso machine was out of order in the lobby. There were dead bugs squished on the ceiling over our bed."
