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.

Good experience
We enjoyed our stay here, the lobby and main area is modern and comfortable and has entertainment (fusball and table tennis)
The budget room was slightly underwhelming and basic but the beds were comfortable and the shower good
Staff were friendly and helpful
The area was a bit of a walk to the city with not many interesting places to stop along the way so would recommend taking a bus straight to the city

Great service
The hotel is located about ten minutes away from Gent Dampoort train station. The facility is modern and squeaky clean. Although the hotel is close to a business park and a busy roundabout, you barely hear any noise from your room. Moreover, the presence of rental bikes helped me given that public transit in Gent is disappointing. For ten Euros a day (plus a fifty Euros safety deposit), I managed to visit all of Gent's major attractions with a rental bike from the hotel thanks to Gent's bike infrastructures.

Everything was good but we did not get breakfast included and paid for it separately each day. For us, there was not enough variety to justify paying 15 euros per person.

A Great Hotel
Clean, modern and welcoming. The reception staff were friendly and helpful and the hotel had everything there to make it a great stay, whether for a business event, a couples break or a family weekend. Brilliant!
Great location for Ghent Damport station and a 20 minute walk to the old town. Value for money
