Holiday Inn Express & Suites Ghent by IHG
Your staff were a credit to you, simply brilliant and faultless, helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. The facilities and cleanliness were excellent too, breakfast also excellent, thank you. My only criticism would be the additional cost for parking, which we felt was excessive.

ibis budget Gent Centrum Dampoort
Absolutely loved the table tennis and the communal spaces. The room was small but perfectly functional and was just what we needed. Car park was easy to find and it was an easy walk into town. We would definitely stay here again.

Pillows Grand Boutique Hotel Reylof Ghent
Wonderful as always, very clean & quiet. About 500m from T1 & T2 tram stop (from Railway Station) with an almost straight walk to the hotel. Handy for nearby town centre
