Top Kraanlei Hotel Reviews

ibis budget Gent Centrum Dampoort

10/10 Excellent

"An excellent hotel. The staff were unfailingly helpful, the facilities excellent and all areas of the place sparkling clean. The room and bathroom were well designed, not large but there was adequate space. The room looked out onto a fairly busy road but there must have been superb soundproofing because the traffic noise was barely a murmur in the room."

Flandria Hotel

"Boutique hotel with personality. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was great. Small staff but they always did more than expected to help. Only drawback is there isn’t an elevator and we had big heavy luggage to maneuver upstairs and through narrow halls. Perfect location to city center. I would recommend."
