Top Ghent University Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Ghent by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Warm welcome from staff, hotel immaculate throughout. Beautiful spacious clean room. Easy to park and just a 5 min walk to Tram 4 that takes you into Ghent city centre."

Grand Hotel Casselbergh Bruges

8/10 Good

"Great Breafast. Clean place , front desk girl was nice but the manager wasn’t . We paid for a canal view and they gave us a roof , outdoor AC looking view . Manager offered us a. Upgrade ,because all of the canal views were gone, when we came downstairs after a 10 hour flight She said the upgrade will cost 140 euros more . Wish she had mentioned it before we went upstairs then came back with our luggage’s . I said no. We already paid high price. Then she offered a canal view but next day after some guest will check out at 11 But we had an early excursion so for another night wasn’t worthy to pack and unpack again . So we made it through the Roof view ."

JAM Ghent

10/10 Excellent

"We absolutely loved our stay here. We had an Ultra room, which was great for our family of four. The beds were super comfortable and the Aircon was great - we were there during a heatwave, but but the room temp was perfect and we slept great. The rooftop pool and the views over the city were amazing. Breakfast was delicious. Overall, it's a really cool space and we'd definitely recommend it as a base for exploring Ghent and beyond."
