Hotel is in a retail park, feels quite a remote neglected site, next to the Conference Area of town.

very dated

Staff are the best thing about this hotel. they are friendly, attentive and efficient. The Hotel itself is dated, showing sides of neglect (peeling wallpaper in room etc) and just tired. Its on an industrial estate with lovely views of an Ikea

out dated hotel. Just enough for a stay and it does where a hotel is made for.
Rooms are old but clean. Location is good next to the E17

great diner, rooms ok, nice people
5.0
The staff super nice and helpful. The train is just a couple of minutes walk away and takes you straight into town. The food and coffee were great. The esthetics of the hotel are on the older side but it was very clean so I did not mind. I think the only negative is the loop driving around to get to the hotel. The signs aren’t the greatest so you may miss it the first time. This is not the hotels fault though so nothing negative really to say about this place.

Reception staff were good on check in. Hotel however is dirty and out dated

Standard. Entrance is good but rooms had several mosquitos and they are meant to be elimanatee before guests arrive. Instead we got told if had informed them they could have used treatmemt to try n get rid off them but was too late as we arrived past midnight for 1 night. No compensation given
4.0
Staff were great when we arrived at 10pm, checkin was smooth. The hotel has seen better days and just a bit run down tbh. Not much around the local area for breakfast so we opted for theirs, 19 euros per adult (pricey) but kids (i think under 11) are free... very good variety so we started the day well.
Big open air parking but why do you make us pay 7 euros? we're staying the night!
For one night, it's close to the beautiful ghent and reasonably priced but i wouldn't stay there for longer... needs a revamp!

I've stayed in this hotel a few times as it is convenient & have always found the staff friendly & approachable. The rooms are clean, quiet & air conditioned. They are, perhaps, beginning to show their age although I noticed that some rooms were having work done on them so may be being updated. As an English speaking traveller, my only real gripe is the lack of a decent English speaking TV channel (I think Al-Jazeera News was more or less the only choice). This may be a post-Brexit thing but some BBC channels, say, would be nice.
4.0
Not easy to access the hotel by public transport or by car. The roads to the hotel are not easy to understand even via sat navigators
5.0
Great place to stay for families. Friendly staff, well maintained rooms, great breakfast option. Location is not easy to get to and from..

Friendly staff and great location near tram station. Only takes 10 minutes to get to main train station, 25-30 mins to get to heart of Ghent. Quiet and safe, good breakfast!
2.5
Big room, with king sized bed. Staff was very friendly and breakfast had a decent selection and nice seating area in the centre of the hotel. All in all comfortable stay.

The very worst hotel I have stayed in for the cost. I paid 208euros without breakfast for a hotel that was so dated. Doesn’t feel like it has been decorated since 1980’s. Felt dirty and old fashioned. Nasty shower curtain, too hot and ridiculous price for a hugely outdated hotel. This is unacceptable from a major brand, in a significant city in 2023.

Once again Holiday Inn Gent Expo ensured us the optimal convenience in regards to us attending the FACTS Convention at Flanders Expo ... it's just so nice and convenient, that you don't have to get into the car all weekend after driving all the way from Denmark to Gent .)
Only thing missing at our stay was the waffles at the breakfast buffet ...... but guess that had more to do with COVID :)
2.5
We booked a larger room and it was awesome. The staff was excellent. There is little in the immediate area but the hotel is a short walk to the bus and public transportation was effective.

Very disappointed & usually Holiday Inn is a good hotel!
1st there was a big queue to check in which took 30 mins. That couldn’t be helped but the check in girl said I had to pay €10 as check in parking was only for 20 mins?
There was no mention either that you have to pay €10 day to park there?
In my room we only had 2 power points which were far away from our beds? We would be out working all day so would need to charge our phones & laptops over night and in case of emergency I want my phone by my bed? So we had to rearrange the room
When moving our beds the dust underneath was disgusting... the cleaner had obviously never hoovered under there!
Very surprised as Holiday Inn is usually a good hotel.

The rooms were tired and could do with a bit of an up date. Food was nice and bed was comfortable. There is an Ikea 400m away with their usual meatball food. There is nothing to do in the area around the hotel and if you are driving be very careful when driving around the “Loop” because if you miss your Turing you have to go around the “Loop” again!
2.5
The experience was amazing. But, the breakfast price should be reviewed, it is too expensive.

This is not your regular Holiday Inn. The tariff is low to attract guests, so one is even willing to go off location from the center but the hotel itself is very disappointing.
That it’s relatively older doesn’t justify lack of upkeep. It can still be maintained well.
But the air con in my room was not working. When
I called the hotel staff to report it , looked like they knew about the issue because they showed up with a replacement fan & said there wasn’t any maintenance available at that hour to fix the issue ( 10pm )
Electric kettle in the room wasn’t working either !

Good, simple accommodation in a modern block. My room overlooked the central atrium where the restaurant and bar are. Car parking outside.Looks a long way out from the city centre but the hotel is located at the terminus of city tramline 1 which gets you right into the centre for €2 each way.A good stopover when travelling.

Great facility. Front desk friendly and helpful. Next door to convention Centeras we’ll as bus/tram stops.

It never mentioned to me in the past that we have to pay an additional charges when are booking in.Was asked to €3 each person for a city charge that everyone pays that while you are in Belgium.I slept at hotel in Brussels and was never been asked to pay any extra money so am demanding a full refund for €12 please thank you

It is clean nice big room and bath. But it's on this. 1 mile pkus loop where to enter or leave you have to go as round the loop at least once more if you miss your exot. They charge 10 to12 euros for parking and there arre no rrestsurants near by so you have to deal with the loop or pay (breakfast buffet 17.50 only option). Ill never stay here again. Meager fitness center.

The hotel was fine, but on arriving we had to pay City tax and 3 nights parking charge which was nearly 50 euros

Nice Hotel, good breakfast Close to the tram so easy to get into the city centre.

A lovely hotel, good transport links into gent central, a bit noisy if you get a window room near the road but a comfortable nights sleep and excellent value for money
