"A little outside of town, but in the end, not bad. Easy to drive to and easy to walk to Ghent central. The room was fine, but the main area hallways, looked like they could be vacuumed a bit more frequently. The lobby area and communal hangout areas, nice and easy going."

Ghent is a fairy tale town worth exploring over several days! There's fine dining (we recommend Balls and Glory), chocolate shops and tons of shopping. Every building is gorgeous and there's more beauty around every corner. Gravensteen a must.
