Top Ghent Hotel Reviews

Pillows Grand Boutique Hotel Reylof Ghent

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful hotel. Everything one could wish for in a city break. Great staff. And the best restaurant in Belgium."

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Ghent by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean and pet friendly"

Aparthotel Castelnou

10/10 Excellent

"A fantastic hotel, with a small private and secure car park (pre book essential by emailing the hotel directly) within walking distance of all Ghent sights, just 15minute stroll to the centre My teenagers loved the space, friendly relaxed feel and lovely breakfast (lots of choice). The staff were so helpful and the hotel was spotlessly clean. We would highly recommend."

ibis Gent Centrum Opera

8/10 Good

"We had a quick one night stuff over in Ghent on our way to Germany so this was a perfect place to stay and Central for a quick explore of the city. I was disappointed when I arrived to find that the road that the hotel is on was not accessible by Car due to major roadworks going on. It would have been very helpful for the hotel to have contacted us to inform us of this as it then meant that we parked in a car park about five minute walk away. The hotel staff did not seem to be well informed or particularly attentive of our need for parking, thankfully we managed to find parking ourselves."
