Gent hotellit lähellä Friday Market Square

Plussat: Room was very nice, extremely comfy bed&pillows. Bathroom was amazing, huge and nice. Breakfast was good. Staff was very-very friendly and helpful.

Miinukset: Weather :(

Plussat: We were visiting Gent (March 2020) to see the Jan Van Eyck exhibit at the MSK, and to visit friends. The Post's location is very central in Gent; so everything is really easy to get and find. Note - do not attempt to drive a car into central Gent as the centre is pedestrianized - Taxis and the Gent Tram will get you and your luggage easily to the Post. Breakfasts at the Post were phenomenal, and the breakfast staff were extremely helpful and friendly. The room we had - No. 9 - was very nice; however, we were surprised that the bathroom facilities (especially the toilet) was on a different floor from the bedroom.

Miinukset: The first set of stairs at the front and back of the Hotel made it really challenging to bring luggage to the hotel elevator. The lighting system in the room was a little bit quirky to use.

Plussat: Sänky,tyynyt hyvät. Pyyhkeet ja aamutakki ihanan pehmeät. Laadukas sisustus, minulla oli sviitti. Kaikki oli viimeisen päälle mietitty. Sijainti hyvä, helppo mennä kävellen minne vaan. Laadukas aamiainen.

Miinukset: Melu kadulta kuului huoneeseen vaikka minulla oli korvatulpat ja olin ylimmässä kerroksessa.

Plussat: Due to the Coronavirus pandemic we were unable to travel to Belgium and stay at the Post Hotel. I was very impressed when the Post Hotel contacted us proactively and unprompted to say that we could change the dates of our stay anytime during the next 12 months. In the current crisis I think this demonstrates exceptional customer service. My wife and I are really looking forward to staying in the Post Hotel in beautiful Ghent hopefully later this year when this terrible pandemic abates.

Miinukset: Nothing - all of my dealings with the hotel have been excellent

Plussat: Beautifully restored historic building. Great taste.

Miinukset: If you’re arriving by your own car you cannot park near the hotel. It is located in the ancient city center where you can only drop off and pick up. The public car park is about a 5 min walk away. Taxis are no problem.

Plussat: Las camas son muy comodas, y la habitacion muy linda.

Miinukset: Todo espectacular!

Plussat: Beautiful gothic styling, fabulous design, lots of little antique details. Great location in the middle of the city, easy walking distance to old part of town, sights, etc.

Miinukset: Attractive room but cramped sitting area with toilet on one floor, with bed and shower up steep stairs. Not ideal if you want to go to toilet in the night (and you have to go upstairs to wash after using toilet). We were guests at an extraordinary time (24h after announcement of coronavirus lockdown in Belgium). Senior management had clearly not thought at all about the impact on the tiny number of guests. All restaurants etc closed, and we had nowhere to go, nothing to see. Management could easily have given details/recommendations of takeaway services, or even approached one or two restaurants to arrange delivered food. Instead we had to wander round an unknown city on a cold evening, failing to find a meal. Only 7 out of 40 rooms occupied, but management would not let us sit in the bar area so we were effectively trapped in our rather cramped rooms. It would have made a huge difference (and not cost the hotel a penny) to have offered us larger rooms to stay in and entertain ourselves. The poor staff on duty were friendly and tried to be helpful, but senior management should think more about their guests' wellbeing.

Plussat: Breakfast was delicious, a very good variety of pastries, bread, fruits to carry you for the day. , bed extra comfy, the decor of the rooms are impressive.

Plussat: location, interior, friendliness

Miinukset: airco not working properly tv channels missing even after intervention of very kind staff

Miinukset: They say they have parking but anything larger than a compact car cannot park there. There was supposed to be a door to the bathroom that had been removed. So no door or privacy while on the toilet. The shower was in a jetted tub, but when turned on shot out algae. There is also NO way an elderly person could stay in the room. You have to climb into the shower and will end up slipping. Every single person in my family slipped getting in to or out of the shower/ bathtub. Also, we had a terrible time with the lighting system in the room. It would turn off outlets as well as lights.

Plussat: This property is ideally located in the centre of Ghent. Room was clean and comfortable.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Very friendly staff, breakfast was delicius, room was comfortable, we stay 2 nights and we love it, close to the city

Miinukset: nothing

Plussat: Excellent location right on the waterfront - perfect location for exploring and 2 mins walk to main tramline to the station and the main tourist office and boat trips. We had a spacious room (lovely bathroom too) with a terrace overlooking the river with a lovely outlook to the pretty gabled houses across the way. V friendly and helpful staff. Would definitely come back.

Miinukset: Liked everything!

Plussat: Very modern room. Location was very close to the tram stop and Castle Gravensteen. Very good breakfast buffet even though it cost extra. Nice bar in the hotel too.

Plussat: Having stayed here before what I can stay is I feel very, very comfortble when I stay here. The rooms are excellent and the staff are all extremely friendly. The hotel is close to the centre and very good restaurants are to be found within a five minute radius. All in all a fine place to stay.

Plussat: Ystävällinen vastaanotto, hotellin siisteys ja henkilökunnan palvelualttius olivat huippuluokkaa.

Plussat: Spacious room with luxury bathroom. Hotel situated on canal side in historic centre, but quiet. Generous choice at breakfast.

Miinukset: Staff aimed to helpful, but did not know about current diversion of nearest tram service due to road works.

Plussat: Very nice hotel. Great big room with canal view. The staff was was very friendly.

Plussat: If you want to visit the center of Gent the location of this hotel is perfect. The children can even have a swim on one of the rooftops when it's nice weather.

Miinukset: The way to our room wasn't very nice; through the lobby and a hallway, then outside at the back, down an outside stairs, across the entrance of the parking garage, up in an elevator.

Plussat: Very friendly and accommodating staff, small quiet hotel. Perfect location, beautiful clean and luxurious rooms.

Plussat: Toprooms have superb view

Plussat: Very comfortable and modern room

Miinukset: Insufficient lighting

Plussat: perfect!!!

Plussat: The room was large with very modern styling. It had plenty of storage space and the enormous bed was extremely comfortable. The breakfast was beautifully presented with a wide range of choice from the buffet. All staff were very friendly.

Miinukset: No complaints whatsoever.

Plussat: the best!

Plussat: Everything, especially breakfast :)

Miinukset: Maybe due to snoring of other people, lack of charging infrastructure(just one socket, but maybe this is subjective)

Plussat: Location and staff were great.

Miinukset: We had a private 3 bed room. This was very tiny and hard to move around in. A last minute add on booked a bed in a 4 bed dorm. She slept on our floor as the room she was in was very noisy. Though the noise of other guests can not always be controlled by the hostel, there could be measure put in place to help minimise the noise as the building itself is very old and loud when walking past or opening and closing doors.

Plussat: Location, friendly staff

Miinukset: Rumbling traffic noises at night make it hard to fall asleep, but not really a big deal

Plussat: Good location,nice people, nice breakfast and very clean

Plussat: Staff were so kind and hardworking to keep the Hostel so clean and Efficient !!! Loved the views from the room and also from the Sitting area, Dining area and the kitchen. Young women and Men keep the Hostel Clean and Safe !!! They are Exceptional, all of them. That made my Ghent vacation even more Special. Zeer Bedankt to the Guys and Gals of the Hostel !!!!

Plussat: Lovely historic building in a tremendous location on the waterside. Absolutely central in this beautiful town of Ghent. Charming reception staff. Crisp clean bedding for individual buks with reading light and charging point. Essential nowadays. A good experience

Miinukset: The bunks could be improved with privacy curtains

Plussat: Useita suihkuja ja hyvä peseytymistila. Huone oli erittäin siisti ja tilava ja lukolliset kaapit hyvät. Yhteiset tilat olivat siistit ja keittiö hyvin varusteltu. Sijainti oli erittäin hyvä. Henkilökunta oli ystävällistä. Aamupala oli kiva ja halpa.

Miinukset: Suihkun lattialla oli iilimato. Henkilökunta hoiti kuitenkin asian hyvin, eikä ole kuulemma ennen näkynyt niitä. Ei hissiä ja paljon portaita. Sängyt eivät olleet mukavimmasta päästä ja tärisivät, kun sillalla ajoi bussi. Korvatulpat olivat yöllä pakolliset. Ei käsisuihkua.

Plussat: It's easy to reach the hostel once you got off the bus. It's well-located, the town's small anyway. It's charming and clean. I only stayed one night but overall I had a great experience.

Plussat: Loistava sijainti, henkilökunta todella ystävällistä, ja fasiliteetit siistejä.

Plussat: The location cannot be better, in the heart of the city. Great facilities, friendly staff... I only have compliments.

Plussat: It was nice staying out at Belgium

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Great staff, they surprised me with chocolates since it was my birthday. Amazing location, right in the center of the city, all the cities attractions are right outside the door. Tons of great restaurants within a 1 minute walk.

Plussat: Great location and price with parking available and accommodated pet.

Miinukset: A bit noisy at night outside the window

Plussat: Great location, right in the middle of historical Gent. Close to tram that goes to business Centre in Gent Zuid. Great breakfast and dinner in the restaurant. Staff are friendly and helpful. Preferred hotel for my business trips in Gent.

Miinukset: Taxi service has to be pre-ordered for morning journeys, hotel could make this clear in reception area, so guests are not caught out.

Plussat: Good location and comfortable.

Miinukset: Difficult to find due to road closures, parking under the hotel not easy.

Plussat: the bed was really big and room too.

Plussat: The location is great. The hotel is right in the center of the city and almost everything you will want to see is within walking distance. The hotel is clean and well kept.

Miinukset: It's an international chain and lacks charm.

Plussat: Good hotel in excellent location. Ghent is gorgeous and will be even better when it's finished. Easy stroll to all the main tourist sights and brilliant bars.

Plussat: Central location

Miinukset: The bathroom floor and shower base needed a real scrub with bleach, they were dirty and moldy. The breakfast cost 18 euros each which we didnt want to spend so went to the nearby Pain Quotidien for a delicious fresh and much cheaper breakfast. Parking was also impossible as the streets are blocked with roadworks and pedestrian zones, so our GPS took a long time to help us locate the hotel. I think the hotel owners/website should include a map of how to best navigate the city. Too expensive for an ordinary and basic room.

Plussat: Really helpful and friendly staff. Clean and comfortable. Will definatly be staying at this hotel again. Quite difficult to find hotel parking due to one way systems and pedestrian streets but hotel staff were brilliant with directions.

Plussat: the location was perfect

Miinukset: the atmosphere in the hotel was not so cosy

Plussat: The location was excellent, it was in the old part of the town & was in a beautiful location with the Christmas market just at the side of it. the tourist infomation is 100m (away) and the main tram stop is 200m (approx) away. the breakfast was first class with a selection of a continental or more fimiliar english style breakfast (eggs, bacon, sausages) this hotel is in a perfect location for seeing all the attractions of the city.it was clean and comfortable. they also offer free use of a sauna and steamroom.

Plussat: The hotel is convenient for the centre and is in easy walking distance of the main sites of Ghent

Miinukset: Check in time is advertised as being 14.00 however, we arrived at 15.45 and our room was not ready,

Plussat: Central location.

Miinukset: Bog-standard, somewhat dirty hotel with unhelpful staff. Impossible to get to by car!!! Don't even try... I parked 100m from the hotel but it took me 1/2 hour to get to the parking, by which time the receptionist had let the car park fill up- despite knowing I was on my way.

Plussat: Very friendly and helpful staff. Clean and comfortable room. Close to train station. Rich breakfast.

Plussat: I was presented with an unfortunate situation when I arrived in Brussels. The hotel staff showed an impressive compassion and I am really grateful for that. It was indeed more than I expected. Thank you very much, I hope I'll be back in much better conditions!

Plussat: Use this place every time i go to Gent. Never dissaponts

Plussat: Very nice spacious room, and bathroom was fine too. Staff were really pleasant.

Miinukset: More baguettes for breakfast (which was fine otherwise). Location is great for the station but not quite so much for centre of town, but the No 1 tram stops right outside, just a 10 minute ride.

Plussat: Very spacious, clean and nicely decorated room. Nice bathroom with bath, well equipped. There is a minibar with room to keep your own drinks cool and tea-making facilties. And the wifi works great. There is also a 2 person + suitcase sized elevator. Breakfast is quite good including fresh fruits, vegetables, scrambled eggs, bread and loads of toppings. The hotel is very close to the station, the main museums and there is a tramstop in front which will take you to the old centre of the city.

Miinukset: The bread and the croissants at breakfast where of not such great quality which is weird because there are some great bakeries quite near! Fresh juice would have been nice too.

Plussat: Good bed

Miinukset: Cold, bit old, Poor brakefast

Plussat: Kylpyhuone ja kylpyamme erittäin siistit ja hyvät.

Miinukset: Aamupala olisi voinut olla parempi ja paikka aamupalalle viihtyisämpi.

Plussat: Excellent location with bookable parking. Great value for money, includes good breakfast. Clean and comfortable, with helpful staff.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: Hotel allowed early check in; good breakfast with great views of city; good facilities in room (even electric kettle which is not universal in Belgium and saves lugging a travelling model); generous desk space; room warm during evening and from early morning.

Miinukset: A thicker duvet as the central heating goes off at night.

Plussat: Breakfast was great - plenty of choice

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Rauhallinen hotelli. Hyvä ratikkayhteys keskustaan aivan hotellin edestä.

Miinukset: Parkkipaikat vähissä ja syrjemmälläkin maksullisia.

Plussat: good choice of hot and cold breakfasts. Coffee excellent and good views over Ghent from the top floor where the breakfast was served

Miinukset: Nothing occurs to me .Very satisfied

Plussat: Ideally situated for railway station and trams to city centre. Good selection at buffet breakfast. Staff always pleasant and helpful. Nice to have BBC1 AND BBC2 available on TV as opposed to standard BBC World News and/or CNN as English speaking channels!

Plussat: Excellent value for money, clean and comfortable room, friendly staff, and a very good breakfast.

Miinukset: The underground car park should be avoided. It is very cramped, has concrete pillars everywhere, and is entered and exited via a narrow and very steep ramp with awkward kerbs. It took me nearly an hour to park my car (which is a medium-sized hatchback) and, once parked, I certainly didn't want to use it again until we left. Without a doubt, in over 40 years of owning a car, this was the most stressful experience ever! Also, there are extensive tram works at the front of the hotel - making it very difficult to leave by car and even on foot!

Plussat: Good location, I was staying on business and needed to be near the town centre. Efficient and friendly staff, check in and check out was very quick

Miinukset: This hotel did not match my experiences of other Best Western hotels. Everything was "ok" (wireless internet, on site parking etc), but the hotel looks like it could do with a makeover

Plussat: Close to trams; well situated; helpful staff; clean

Plussat: big, clean room, free wi-fi internet, breakfast

Miinukset: shower, noise from roadwork

Plussat: Hyvä siijainti rautatieaseman ja kongressikeskuksen vieressä

Miinukset: Viereisellä kadulla oli raitiovaunukiskojen vaihtotyö meneillään. Työ loppui klo 1 yöllä ja alkoi klo 5 aamulla. Eli yhtenä yönä yöunet olivat <4 tuntia. 2. yö oli parempi. Huoneen vaihto ei onnistunut (hotelli täynnä) ja rahoja ei palautettu. Korvatulpat kyllä tarjottiin yöksi vastaanotosta...

Plussat: Erittäin ystävällinen henkilökunta.

Miinukset: Hotellin kunto on päässyt jo hieman repsahtamaan.Tilojen yleisilme on vanhahtava.

Plussat: Hyvä sijainti rautatieaseman lähellä; sopivan pieni, niin että esim. aamupalalla ei ollut ruuhkaa

Miinukset: Televisiossa vain flaaminkielisiä kanavia, kaipasimme englanninkielistä uutiskanavaa (esim. Euronews)

Plussat: good location, great breakfast

Plussat: Relaxed atmosphere and wide selection at breakfast

Plussat: staff was very helpfull, good selection at breakfast, very clean the rooms and everything i will certainly recomend u and the hotel to other people

Plussat: Close to station and trams

Plussat: Friendly staff, comfy beds, quiet room, water boiler for coffee/tea, breakfast, ambience

Plussat: Full of character

Miinukset: Not the property so much but the Coronavirus meant that the city was in lock down and food not available anywhere We had breakfast one day which was limited ( understandably given restrictions) and expensive for the reduced offer Also given the lock down in the city the hotel could have more proactively helped with food

Plussat: An amazing building , beautiful rooms and good breakfast with plenty of choice.

Miinukset: It is still being refurbished at the moment but you can see the potential of what will be amazing. The works were not disturbing at all though .

Plussat: Aamiainen oli erinomainen mutta aika kallis. Huoneet reilun kokoiset ja sänky hyvä. Rauhallinen ympäri stö

Miinukset: Yksinkertaiset harvat ikkunat. Toisessa huoneessa myös ovi päästi käytävän äänet huoneeseen.

Plussat: Very friendly staff and great welcome. Very quiet and excellent location. Unusual property

Plussat: Atmosphere, original building, great breakfast, flowers on the tables, friendly staff, good sized rooms, central location.

Miinukset: Being an old monastery there is little sound proofing, doors are not sealed against door frames etc so you hear everything from the corridors outside.

Plussat: Nice decor Friendly check in Big spacious room Really comfortable bed Excellent location Interesting building

Miinukset: Only downfall of being in a historic building is carrying your luggage up the stairs.

Plussat: Decent size room, comfortable bed, coffee and tea in the bedroom

Plussat: Rauhoittava ilmapiiri

Miinukset: Äänieristys huoneitten välillä

Plussat: Unusual, charming and fascinating place. Excellent breakfast. very helpful staff. Large, quiet bedroom.

Miinukset: Vertiginous staircase up to the eaves where our bed was located and beams you had to duck under. We didn't hit our heads or fall down the stairs, but the arrangement wasn't really suited to OAPs like us!

Plussat: Beautiful surroundings, some stunning architecture in the building itself. It was very quirky and quite unusual.

Miinukset: The room was extremely basic. Booked a double and I go a single.

Plussat: I liked the building however do not feel that the owners are doing it any justice.

Miinukset: I paid for 2 double rooms however ended up with 2 uncomfortable single beds pushed together. No attempt made to organise the beds into a double in terms of sheeting. Rooms were very basic with lights not working, toilet not fully intact and shower blocked - This was for both rooms. Breakfast was very poor with flies hovering/landing on the food and the milk was slightly sour. It is considerably over priced. In addition to paying the 140 euros (inc. city tax) for each room, an attempt was made to charge an additonal 30 euros for breakfast on each room plus 10 euro parking - that's 180 euros per room.

Plussat: notthing

Miinukset: not up to expectations. too expensive.

Plussat: From the web site I expected it to be much nicer than it was.

Miinukset: Beds weren't very good. Hotel not well kept up.

Plussat: Beautiful building right in the centre of town. Friendly and efficient staff, huge room (actually, a three-room suite) for just €115 a night.

Miinukset: A bit cold - but we culd turn the heating up.

Plussat: miellyttävä luostariympäristö, hyvä aamiainen

Plussat: Reasonably close to town centre facilities.

Miinukset: I booked two rooms which were provided in separate parts of the complex. This created problems for my 85yr old parents who occupied one of the rooms.

Plussat: location, unique hotel, very nice staff, and great breakfast.

Plussat: Excellent ambiance, very friendly staff, wonderful breakfast.

Plussat: The unique non conventional and very original athmosphere of that old monastery

Miinukset: The room I stayed in was located side to the entrance gate, and it is a very noise place. I've been waked up several times late in the eevening and very early at the morning.

Plussat: The services, internet wifi incuided in the price.
