Top Ghent University Hotel Reviews

ibis budget Brugge Centrum Station

10/10 Excellent

"Very good"

Grand Hotel Casselbergh Bruges

10/10 Excellent

"Just an amazing amazing place. Right in the middles of everything"

B&B HOTEL Gent Centrum

8/10 Good

"Lovely hotel in the centres"

NH Collection Gent

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed 3 nights in Ghent and really enjoyed the city and the stay at the hotel. I don't know if it was the level of room we booked or if the level of service was the same for all but if you skipped having your room serviced they would leave coupons for free beer or wine in the hotel bar. Thought that was a great idea. We also were not expecting the turndown service but each night when we got back to the room, slippers were laid out, bed was turned down, there was a bottle of water and a glass on each night stand and chocolates on the bed. The hotel is really nice as was all the staff and the location is perfect. Our expectations were exceeded and this is most definitely the hotel I will book next time we get to Ghent."
