Top Heilig Kerst Hotel Reviews

NH Collection Gent

10/10 Excellent

"Unbelievably great breakfast, amazing staff and perfect location"

Courtyard By Marriott Ghent

8/10 Good

"Clean room. More of a business hotel with business clients. Every thing was clean and professional. Breakfast was excellent. Location wise outside Ghent so took the uber which costs 10 euro each way. Parking costs 20 euro per day which is the big bear after spending approx £175 per night averge per night. I guess it’s Ghent so everthing is extra everywhere you want to park."

ibis budget Gent Centrum Dampoort

10/10 Excellent

"Pros: Room was spotlessly clean, bed was comfortable and the en suite bathroom was everything you needed. Staff were friendly and helpful. The common areas looked modern and inviting. Short walking distance to a railway station, buses, supermarkets and some cheap food options. Cons: The rooms are small and basic. The location is not in the medieval heart of Ghent but rather in a working-class area a 20 minute walk from the main tourist sites. But this is, as the name clearly states, a budget hotel and is excellent value for money in an expensive city."

JAM Ghent

10/10 Excellent

"We absolutely loved our stay here. We had an Ultra room, which was great for our family of four. The beds were super comfortable and the Aircon was great - we were there during a heatwave, but but the room temp was perfect and we slept great. The rooftop pool and the views over the city were amazing. Breakfast was delicious. Overall, it's a really cool space and we'd definitely recommend it as a base for exploring Ghent and beyond."
