Van der Valk Hotel Gent
The room was nice but the bed uncomfortable and bedding very poor quality. Good hotels should invest in good pillows and towels. Location is what it is but easy enough to get a taxi. Staff were nice throughout.

B&B HOTEL Gent Centrum
My family stayed at the hotel recently and it was a fantastic experience. The property is centrally located in Ghent and easily accessible by foot. Our room had three beds (two full and one queen) and was very clean. Overall, this is a nice and reasonably priced hotel and we highly recommend it.

The Hide
The Daydreamer was well located, and very attractive, with trompe l’oeil fragments on the ceiling. Everything was well appointed, and the shower gel smells wonderful. The staff was responsive and helpful.
