The room and bathroom were both very small, but perfectly adequate for a one- or two-night stay. Unfortunately, we got the impression that the room hadn’t been cleaned properly, as there was rubbish left in the bathroom bin from the previous guests.

The reception staff were friendly and helpful. Our key card stopped working during our stay, and although we had to wait a little while for it to be sorted, the issue was resolved. Decent aircon. Windows can’t be opened. Parking costs 22 eur/night. The view from our room wasn’t the best.

The breakfast was good, with a decent selection of food.

Only stayed here for one night, but can say without any hesitation that this is a superb hotel. Clean, stylishly appointed rooms, with a cosy layout, but more than sufficient space.

Staff were helpful and the hotel is extremely conveniently located just down from Dampoort train station and about a 15 min walk from the main town square.

Highly recommended and will definitely be happy to return some day.

Upon arrival to the hotel, check-in was prompt. The lobby was well decorated and stocked with snacks. Our room was large and clean. The location is well situated by the train station and the city centre, with both being within walking distance. We had no complaints and would stay again! I made an error in booking the wrong room, and upon request, reception swiftly transferred us to a double room. Thank you!

The perfect place to stay! I was backpacking and stopped here for a couple nights and it was great, right next to the trams/buses/trains and location was only 20 minutes walk to centre. They had lots of seating in the front/bar area that was great, along with an outside section. Rooms are comfortable and a good amount of space. It was a perfect reset, would definitely recommend!

Perfect location, close to the train station. Something for everyone - bar, table football, small gym, shop, breakfast. The staff speak excellent English and are very helpful and friendly. It is quite sustainable, with examples such as having no disposable cups in rooms, no towel or sheet changes unless on request.

Comfortable and well designed room. Small, but more than enough for a short stay. The location is about 20 minutes' walk from the centre of Gent old town.

Comfy beds with excellent pillows. Shower good. Check out was noon, so we left the bags in the room and went for a stroll in the morning. We returned at 11.30am to find ourselves locked out. Reception sorted it but still, a bit annoying.

We expected tiny rooms and no facilities but were welcomed to a smallish but adequate room with everything we needed except maybe a kettle.
The bar was good, the breakfasts were excellent with plenty of seating in nice areas. There was a tiny shop with snacks and even a few microwave meals, and a microwave provided in the lobby.
The staff could not have been nicer or more helpful and answered loads of our questions. Everywhere was fresh and clean.
It's about 20 minutes walk from the centre, a bit far for our elderly legs, but there are convenient buses and trains nearby. All in all, it's somewhere we would go back to, and will certainly recommend the hotel to friends.

Very small rooms with very basic facilities. Rooms were boiling hot with no way to control the temperature. No opening windows so had to hold the door open to try and cool it down. Security really needs looking at, no requirement for room keys to access the accommodation and had issues with people running up the corridor banging on the doors through the night. Had to ask for pillows, towels and toilet roll. Staff were nice and did try and resolve the issues. No way of contacting the reception from the room so had to go all the way down each time. Shower temp fluctuates constantly boiling hot to freezing cold, couldn’t let our child use it in case of burns. Location was the only plus, for a big chain hotel, this was very disappointing

The hotel was immaculately clean and all the staff were kind and very helpful to all.
The only negative (which is more personal) is breakfast was so busy. So I would advise getting up early to eat. Breakfast between 9-10 was too busy for the space. The staff worked exceptionally hard to maintain food was readily available though!

We made self-check in easily using machine at the reception, without queuing. Rooms were excellent, small but clean and functional, sockets near the bed, bathroom was big enough (larger than in most Ibis budget hotels), cleaned daily, great bedding and lighting in the room. Staff (whenever needed) was friendly and smiling. there was restaurant working near reception area. we did not have breakfast but it was looking really full. 5 min walk to the Gent Dampoort station and 15-20 min to the city historical center.
Overall, we are really happy with our stay.

The room was so tiny, the staff didn't even make the bed properly. The bed was shoved up in a corner with no nightstands and one had to climb over the foot of the bed to get out. No hand towels. No water glasses. Stools instead of chairs. Best thing--only one night.

The smallest rooms ever, the second single bed came out of the only closet at the foot of the other single bed that were like sleeping on bricks. No where no put your clothes or anything else for that matter. No cable TV hooked up so no watching anything through your phone onto the tv in english
Felt like it was being renovated and wasn't quite finished yet.

It was sufficient for our needs, but it wasn't located near anything else. It is \"budget friendly\" because everything is carte blanch. The breakfast is overpriced, but we were able to get coffee and a croissant for $3.50 each. Our room was too small to leave our luggage open, and the bed was pushed against a wall, so one had to climb over the other. The A/C seemed to turn off at night, and we woke up sweating. It was an easy walk to the train station, but there was nothing to do near the hotel. Most of the staff was very friendly, but not all.

Budget price great hotel

Great budget hotel just outside main city centre perfect ideal fir seeing the sights and a stone throw from train station. Rooms are small but are well maintained comfortable and clean great for price point. Checkin was simple easy and hassle free only feedback that i could give was you should be able to prebook parking with a code the street outside is full and costs so need to either have pre booking or place to temp park while you get access to carpark. Other than that small issue the hotel was ideal for the money and staff were spot on .

Very basic room(s) and if not in a wheel chair accessible room your queen size bed is \"one sided\", with a single heavy duty duvet. No actual heating other than air conditioning and a totally unheated \"wet room\" with no shower curtain. Cannot open a window for fresh air (even on first floor). No shelves, just a few wall mounted hooks to hang clothes on cheap plastic (children size) hangers. Lobby totally full of teenagers (and actually exterior advertising inviting them in). This is not a serious hotel for adults and far from \"budget\". Parking charge €18 for a night. However staff service minded and breakfast better than expected, although limited choice.
