B&B HOTEL Gent Centrum
We needed to change our accommodation and were fortunate to have been able to book B&B. Staff were so helpful, rooms clean and tidy. Breakfast had everything available and continually updated. Would definitely recommend Ghent B&B for family stay.

Getaway Gent
The room was spacious with a very comfortable bed. The kitchen was great and provided everything needed. There is no outdoor space or any bars or restaurants though. Location was excellent.

Novotel Gent Centrum
AC did not work whatsoever and rowdy crowds at night made opening a window not much of a better solution. Sleeping was very hard every night because of this.
