Very bad stay. This hotel does NOT have a real aircondition as stated on their details. It’s rather a central fan that was not working and when I asked the receptionist they said it’s better just to open the window. You can imagine the nosie ang bugs when you leave the window open trying to get some sleep.

The shower is an open area into the room - no door.

There is underground parking available, and if you stay at the hotel, you can validate at the reception for £10 per day, which I think is very reasonable.

We found this dog friendly hotel on our route from London to Copenhagen and it turned out to be wonderful. We had a beautiful room facing the stadium . It was clean discourse and modern. What’s even better is there is an Italian Resturant Lemoncello downstairs which fires a great steak and Basel cocktail plus it’s dog friendly.

Rooms- the rooms were very specious and well kept. Very high tech i.e. scanning key before selecting floor. Easy to request for room service and 'do not disturb'
Easy control of the heating.

Breakfast- excellent spread of food and choice. The best breakfast I have had for a long while. Minimum 10/10 rating.

Staff- nothing to fault. Great level of service and staff very friendly and approachable. Very professional.

Location- great to get into town very easily with cabs/Uber.

I would highly recommend this hotel. I will definitely be returning.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Van der Valk Hotel Gent, and I must say, it was an excellent experience from start to finish. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warmth and hospitality, making me feel welcome right away.

Upon check-in, I was offered a lovely glass of cava, which was a nice touch and set the tone for a relaxing stay. The reception staff were not only friendly but also very helpful, providing me with all the information I needed about the hotel amenities and local attractions.

The hotel itself is beautifully maintained – it’s incredibly clean, and everything feels fresh and well cared for. The rooms are spacious, modern, and thoughtfully designed, offering both comfort and style. I especially appreciated the comfortable bed, which made it easy to unwind after a day of exploring the city.

The location of the hotel is also ideal. There are excellent public transport connections, making it easy to get to local pubs, restaurants, and other attractions. Whether you’re planning a night out in the city or a quiet evening at the hotel, you’ll find plenty of options nearby.

The breakfast was another highlight of my stay – a great selection of fresh, high-quality items to start the day off right. There was a good variety of options, catering to different dietary preferences, and the dining area itself was bright and welcoming.

Overall, my stay at Van der Valk Hotel Gent was incredibly enjoyable. It’s clear that the hotel staff take pride in offer

Beautiful modern hotel with a car park.

We only stayed at this hotel for one night. After a long drive, we arrived with no real expectations when booking—our main priorities were having secure parking (note: there’s a €10 fee) and being reasonably close to Ghent city centre.
What we loved about this hotel is that from the moment you walk into reception, it feels clean, modern, and welcoming.
The family room we booked was surprisingly spacious and bright—I honestly didn’t expect to get such a large room for a family. More hotels should take note and offer proper double beds for families! The room even had a comfortable seating area, which was a great bonus.
The only minor downside was the lack of hair conditioner. I always wonder why, in this day and age, hotels don’t provide it as standard. Many travellers rely on small travel-sized bottles, so finding it in a hotel always feels like a thoughtful touch.
Other than that, everything was perfect, and we would definitely stay here again.

Not soundproof

I often stay at Van Der Valk as “you know what you get”, which is usually high standard for affordable price. Whilst this hotel outside of Genk had spacious rooms, very comfortable beds it had several drawbacks which you would not expect. Small things like no separate light switch for bathroom (same switch as for the bedroom) but the worst aspect was that the rooms were not soundproof at all. Noise and conversations from street level clearly heard in our rooms. That is unusual for Van der Valk which usually gets the basics spot on. The area of the hotel is really strange and you should only see this as a “motel” as you need a car to get anywhere sensible.

Staff went out of their way - Great hotel

A modern, clean and spacious hotel. Our family room was fantastic, our daughter loved her bunk beds and the large cuddly toy animals left to play with. The hotel even left a rucksack and soft toy for our young son in his cot. Lovely bath, large comfy bed with TV in front. Really happy with the accommodation. Probably more of a business hotel than traditional family hotel, but the facilities were still great for kids and staff were very helpful to accommodate our young kids. There is a small play area with slide and climbing frame and my daughter especially enjoyed watching the chickens!

The service could not have been better, hotel reception and restaurant staff helped to warm milk and meals for our children and gave helpful guidance for trips into the city.

There is a large supermarket right next to the hotel built into the Gent football stadium which next door. Incredible location on a matchday.

Worth noting that the hotel is a small distance from central Gent. We found it easy to reach by bus and tram (25 mins total). The hotel staff offered to arrange us taxis for approx $20. Driving was a little trickier due to the low emission zone in central Gent but again staff pointed us towards parking options.

The hotel is next to a stadium and on an industrial estate. You cannot get anywhere from the hotel as its far from the city. The views from the rooftop bar are of factories, cranes and car parks. The hotel is expensive and is nicely decorated but they have the audacity to then charge for everything else, parking, an extra bed for a child and even a drop if milk for a tea in my room. Staff are unbothered by guests and bordering on rude.

It was difficult to find the entrance to the carpark for the hotel.
Safe parking with barrier entry. €10 per night.
Restaurant was the only place to eat in the evening due to refurbishment. Food and service were excellent although a bit pricey
The roof top bar was closed on the Wednesday night when we stayed
Separate toilet and shower room ( no door on shower room ) which was handy. Lighting in shower room wasn't very bright, not good enough to put your make up on !
Selection of teas was limited to either green tea of earl grey.
We felt that the pillows were too soft and there was no opportunity to change.
Breakfast selection was extensive, we enjoyed our meal.

Decent, dog friendly hotel with great cocktails.

It's a nice hotel - although a bit far outside the city - easy by taxi, not for walking. We had a problem with our air-conditioning. It was very hot. They switched our rooms - the switch was better. The beds had some kind of 'topper' on them - it was not uncomfortable, but it had a tendency to slide off the box frame underneath. My favorite thing was the roof top bar - EXCELLENT cocktails.

Overall - it was a decent stay and a decent value - some things can be improved (AC / mattresses) but other wise a decent option in Ghent - and, DOG FRIENDLY!
