This place was beyond my expectations. The staff was lovely, I had a comfortable quiet sleep in my lovely hotel room as The bed was like a cloud and spacious. The decor just helped with the ambience of the place. Plus having sparkly upon arrival and at breakfast was a lovely treat and the best part was it didn't break my pocket.

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!

Parking
Everything was good but I had driven 7 hours from Hamburg and arrived late in the evening and there was no where to park. I had to put the car against the wall near the lifts in the underground car park, hoping I hadn’t blocked anyone in

It is quite an industrial area and upon our arrival we felt some unpleasant smell outside.
