Top Kraanlei Hotel Reviews

JAM Ghent

8/10 Good

"Great hotel in terms of style and amenities. Stayed here with our family. However my young son cut his foot badly in the pool on a sharp metal edge and there was no one who could do first aid or had the right medical kit to help, despite trying to be helpful and sympathetic. No one took details and the manager never contacted us to check he was ok which was disappointing. We returned and asked if the manager was around but were told he was off for the weekend."

NH Collection Gent

10/10 Excellent

"Easy checking with a very pleasant and helpful staff. Room was clean , comfortable and quiet."

Novotel Gent Centrum

10/10 Excellent

"Multiples séjours effectués dans cet établissement et toujours ravie. L'accueil est professionnel et chaleureux (merci encore notamment à Eduardo pour son implication ainsi qu'à toute l'équipe). L'emplacement est parfait au cœur du centre historique et la qualité/variété du petit déjeuner extraordinaire !"

1898 The Post & Porter's house

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic hotel very nice room the bed was very comfortable and the shower was excellent. Location is perfect right near all the sites ."

Hotel Harmony

10/10 Excellent

"We absolutely enjoyed our stay at hotel Harmony. The location couldn’t be more perfect for our 3 night stay in Ghent. We had a beautiful and spacious room with the view of the river. The hotel is very charming and clean. We definitely will stay in this hotel again if we come back to Ghent."

ibis Gent Centrum Opera

8/10 Good

"We had a quick one night stuff over in Ghent on our way to Germany so this was a perfect place to stay and Central for a quick explore of the city. I was disappointed when I arrived to find that the road that the hotel is on was not accessible by Car due to major roadworks going on. It would have been very helpful for the hotel to have contacted us to inform us of this as it then meant that we parked in a car park about five minute walk away. The hotel staff did not seem to be well informed or particularly attentive of our need for parking, thankfully we managed to find parking ourselves."

ibis Gent Centrum St-Baafs Kathedraal

10/10 Excellent

"Couldn't ask for a better location - right in the centre of everything."

ibis budget Gent Centrum Dampoort

10/10 Excellent

"Pros: Room was spotlessly clean, bed was comfortable and the en suite bathroom was everything you needed. Staff were friendly and helpful. The common areas looked modern and inviting. Short walking distance to a railway station, buses, supermarkets and some cheap food options. Cons: The rooms are small and basic. The location is not in the medieval heart of Ghent but rather in a working-class area a 20 minute walk from the main tourist sites. But this is, as the name clearly states, a budget hotel and is excellent value for money in an expensive city."

Flandria Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Nice staff"
