Room was clean and comfortable. As well as the bathroom. It even had a desk, a kettle and coffee. Staff was friendly and helpful. They have a laundry service that we were able to use, they washed and some of our clothes and it was not expensive. Breakfast was good for the price, good variety, a nice breakfast hall, we also had dinner there that was delicious, not cheap though. There is a bus stop right in front of the hotel that takes you directly to the city center.

I recently stayed at Hotel Campanile Gent for a few nights. Overall, the hotel was decent. The room was clean and comfortable, and the staff was friendly. The location is also convenient for exploring the city, being close to public transport and the main attractions.

However, I did have an unpleasant experience during my stay. I had to call reception because of a domestic disturbance from the room next door. The noise was quite disruptive, and I felt uncomfortable during the situation. The staff did respond promptly, which was appreciated, but it did affect the overall experience.

In terms of amenities, the hotel offers what you would expect for the price. The breakfast was satisfactory, though nothing extraordinary.

While the experience wasn’t perfect, the hotel did meet basic expectations, and I would consider staying here again if I had a similar situation.

Just AVOID this place!
I'm not sure what was worse, the fact it seems to be right next to a chemical factory that hums ALL night, or that there aren't any curtains, just metal shutters with holes in.
Maybe the black mould in the bathroom?
No wait - I know!
It's the fact that the walls are SO THIN you can hear everything around you - EVERYTHING! People talking, in the shower - ON THE TOILET.
The place needs knocking down it really does.
It was so bad we checked out early and got another hotel.

Eat out before you stay here

Too expensive for no reason. This hotel is the worst within this chain. I have stayed in many Hotel Campanile properties but this one is in serious need of refurbishing. Also you cannot boast to have a restaurant and bar only to find them shut at 5om on arrival. Clearly thats wrong information and worrying for any persons or families planning to stay here. Sadly however you offer guest the opportunity to buy alcohol from a fridge and invite them to kill themselves by drinking alcohol with no food. This makes no sense.

Standard stay, problems with the key

The hotel was standard, like the other campanile hotels, but our entrance card got problems 2 days in a row and we couldn't enter the room. One day, it was after 11 pm so we needed to call the hotels number. Luckily one of the employees was sleeping in a room and could help us in 5 minutes. The day after, we came back at 6 pm and the card wasn't working again, and the reception was already closed, for some reasons I don't know. Again, the same employee helped us. I was nice to get the help almost immediately but it would be nicer to write some signs by the entrance of the reception with emergency numbers and opening hours of the reception.

The hotel was a convenient and cost-effective venue for a two-night stay while I attended a conference at the Ghelamco Arena.

The rooms are quite basic but have all the facilities that you need for a short stay. It is also conveniently served by direct buses from the train station and city centre, which stop about one minute's walk from the reception building.

The only negatives are that while it appears to be very close to the stadium, the four minute walking route advertised by Google isn't accessible if there isn't a football match taking place, unless you're lucky enough to find the perimeter gates open, so allow for a 10 minute walk to the side of the stadium with the Albert Heijn supermarket (very convenient for meals) or another couple of minutes for access to the main reception.

My room was on the back of the accommodation block, which was quite dark and narrow to access at night, but it's generally a very quiet area so I didn't feel unsafe. It's worth noting that the hotel is surrounded by factories on two sides and the noise from those buildings starts to get quite noisy from 6am-7am. I found this quite useful to make sure I was up in time for my work, but those wanting to sleep in longer might want to request a room overlooking the car park for a quieter night's stay.

Not for winter time

The hotel is generally in a poor condition. It is even in renovation now. But the main problem - it is cold. The temperature in the room seems to be less the 20°C. The floor (in the room) is very cold - according to my observations - ca. 10°C! Even electrical heater, working all the time at maximum power, didn't help. The entire situation while outdoors temperature was ca. -2°C. I am even afraid to think, what it would be if the outside temperature was lower. The hotel is just for summer time only!

The only bright point at the moment is personnel. Nice, helpful, open minded, able to speak in many languages. These people are the only saving grace for the hotel at the moment.

By the way the hotel, although located in an industrial area, looks quite nice. For summer stay - could be eventually recommended.

Stay in Ghent

It was a pleasant stay for one night with friendly helpful staff but the smell from the saniflow system in the ensuite spoiled the experience somewhat. However, the bed was really comfortable and we were warmly welcomed. I suppose you cannot get away from the industrial nature of the location but the tall hedge helped conceal that.
