Top Ghent Hotel Reviews

Pillows Grand Boutique Hotel Reylof Ghent

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location close to all the historic sites. Friendly & helpful staff. Beautiful rooms."

ibis Gent Centrum Opera

8/10 Good

"We booked a 2 twin room and we were given an accessible room with a queen/double and a twin. Room was clean but a little dated. Air conditioner was on a timer that would cut out at night and we were there during a heat wave so it did get quite warm even at night. Walkable to all the sights in the area (castle, towers, etc.). Tram system also stops nearby. Overall good stay."

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Ghent by IHG

8/10 Good

"I went to Belgium for the first time with my wife and kids from London. I drove all the way. Hotel staff was kind enough to offer me to park as soon I come. This allowed me.to park and go around city before our check in time. Room.was very spacious and very clean. We all had fantastic sleep. The only downside was, sofa bed made creaking noise when one moves. That should be fixed as that disturbs sleep. It didnt matter too much in the end because we were dead tired, but surely got noticed. Parking is spacious and easy. There is a tram 15 mins away which takes you to city centre. Overall we enjoyed our stay. Staff was wonderful. Would recommend."

ibis Gent Centrum St-Baafs Kathedraal

6/10 Okay

"First of all … the staff were excellent, friendly, helpful and accommodating. Our room was a handicap room as requested. However it was tired looking. Marks on the walls, peeling paper on the headboard. Small queen bed not a full. Bathroom exhaust vent full of fluff as result it whistled. Shower drain not draining properly so your feet were in a puddle. Liquid soap dispensers in the shower too high for handicap reach. The Lounge/Breakfast room. The buffet breakfast (extra cost) was okay. But after that it becomes the Lounge with a good bar offering, but extremely limited food offerings throughout the day with the same menu at night. If you want a short stay hotel with friendly staff in a great location then the Ibis is fine."

Ghent Marriott Hotel

2/10 Terrible

"Very disappointing end to what could have been a good stay. The hotel’s location is excellent and the room itself was perfectly fine, which makes the poor service experience even more frustrating. The checkout interaction was frankly unacceptable. The front desk staff were rude, dismissive, and surprisingly argumentative over what should have been a simple guest query. Rather than listening or trying to help, the conversation became confrontational for no reason. Escalating the matter to the manager did not improve the situation—in fact, the same unhelpful and defensive attitude continued. What stood out most was the complete lack of customer service mindset. Mistakes or misunderstandings can happen anywhere, but professionalism, courtesy, and a willingness to resolve issues are the minimum one expects from hospitality staff, especially management. A hotel stay is judged not only by the room and location, but by how guests are treated. Unfortunately, the conduct of the staff at checkout left a very poor final impression, and based on that experience, I would not stay here again. And I recommend no one else does as well."

Flandria Hotel

8/10 Good

"A nice characterful hotel in a location within easy walking distance of the central tourist areas. The provision to store luggage before check-in and after checking out was particularly welcome. The room and bathroom were nicely decorated although the ‘double’ bed was quite uncomfortable as was two single beds pushed together which created a sag in the middle. Also the room (3 on the ground floor) is located right next to the stairs that all other guests have to use and as a consequence was very noisy- you can hear footsteps on the stairs, voices, banging etc every time the stairs are used which started at 06.45 on a Sunday morning which was unwelcome and disturbing. My travel partner had a separate room on the 1st floor and also commented that this room was also subject to a lot of noise with ‘paper-thin walls’. We did not have breakfast so cannot comment. Overall the hotel served the purpose for a brief 1 night stay in Ghent but would not like to stay any longer than that due to the disturbances whilst trying to sleep."
