    Great staff, great location... hotel itself a bit 'tired'.

    The room was only *ostensibly* clean. The bedding, visible surfaces and bathroom were spotless, but finding an old plastic drinks bottle and a can under the bed, along with what looks like months of dirt and dust under the bed wasn't great. Likewise, behind the desk was also what looked to be several months deep in dust. I'm not suggesting they should move all the furniture to clean under / behind it every day, but this really was several months' worth. It wasn't excessively warm, but the air con didn't work: not a problem this time of year, but in summer, it'd have been quite unpleasant as the window doesn't open all that far.

    Location excellent; conveniently by the motorway, making anywhere quite easily commutable by road. Handy tram stop tip get into Ghent. Staff excellent; friendly, welcoming and helpful. Plenty parking.

    Friendly staff, noisy room and uncomfortable sofa bed
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • Standard Double Room with Sofa Bed
    • Stayed 1 night

    Sofa bed for kids was incredibly uncomfortable and made the room very cramped. Asked for a quiet room, but we were surrounded by very noisy people which was unfortunate because the hotel wasn't busy so this request could have been accommodated by not putting us below or next door to others. Family of 4 booked the room, only provided with 3 towels

    Staff were very friendly

    Its.. well… old.. ashtrays in the elevators were like a dead give-away on how old. I had a room at the Atrium side, so basically no fresh air by opening a window and a non-functioning airco didn’t help with the air quality in the room. Pick a room at the outside of the building if you value breathing.

    Rooms are clean, staff is friendly and helpful, breakfast buffet is great!

    Nothing bad to point. Only the rooms are a bit old and could use some renovation.

    Very good breakfast, including pancake and waffle machines. :) The staff was very friendly and helpful. The tram to city center is only a 3 min walk from the hotel. The room is OK. A bit old but still fine, although it lacks more free power sockets, some lamps were actually disconnected and we only had one free power socket to charge all our devices.

    Minibar was not working.

    Parking was easy and there is a discount for the customers (50% discount which makes 14.5 euro per night). It would be better if the parking was free for the customers. A little bit old hotel but it was clean and they prepared two beds for our children in advance without any issue. Finally breakfast was nice.

    We asked for a travel cot to be in our room. On arrival I checked with reception that there was a travel cot in the room. We were told that she could see the request and there would be one in the room. When we got there, there wasn't one. We asked at reception on our way out to dinner for one to be in for our return. We were told that they would and they were sorry. When we got back after dinner there was still no travel cot. I rang down to reception and she said there weren't any and there wasn't anything they could do. I asked where by baby was supposed to sleep that night and she had no answer. Totally unreliable and would highly recommend bringing your own and not taking them at their word.

    Hotel room was comfortable and clean

    Extra pillows in room would have made stay more comfortable and £22 euro for parking was a bit steep

    Perfect stop off on our road to Lake garda via Begium , Germany. Easy to find straight of the motorway and we where able to check in after midnight having had a late crossing. What you expect for a holiday inn
