Wonderful service in a fascinating building. Splenfidly located near Friday market.
3.0 / 10.0
Our room was upgraded to a suit in the old part of the hotel. The room was very spacious but quite dark.
Check in was a challenge as although we had booked a B&B rate reception was adamant that our booking was room only. Luckily the app showed breakfast was included and they eventually accepted it.
Breakfast had a good selection but was very busy.
The hotel has a central location
Nice big bathroom

My room was underneath the restaurant and so rather noisy. Great location in an old building so you have to make allowances

Great location, but tucked back a block so was very quiet, even with a big festival going on. Staff was friendly and helpful - would recommend :)

It was an easy walk to the sites. Overlooking the canal.
We were on the second floor, and the dinning room wss above us. Very loud in the morning as well as could here the people in the next room.
No cable so no watching any late night movie

Such a great spot to us as a base to explore the old part of Gent. An old cotton mill, you can feel the history surrounding you. A few minutes walk from the thriving riverside and only 10 mins from all of the major attractions. Ghent Card well worth the money too.

Convenient location, bit dated vs the photos, air con wasn’t working properly so very warm night
2.0 / 10.0
Room was nice, very humid constantly in bathroom, towels evwn when dry felt damp. Shower gel in shower was empty, when we went down to ask for more, we were questioned "really" by staff. Description states work out room and sauna, beware says nowhere that you need to pay each time for sauna, 72 euros!!!! Every little thing had price tag attached, surprised they didn't charge us per pod of coffee.

The hotel is clean, comfy, and reasonably priced with an excellent location. I can see the Ghent River from my room and access St Bavo's Cathedral within walking distance without the hustle and bustle. The staff is friendly and very accommodating on late check-ins and early check-outs.
4.0 / 10.0
The front of the hotel is very modern looking, which is disappointing because the part of the city it is in has an old feel about it.
When you walk in the staff are very friendly and checking in is really fast and efficient.
We had a room with a canal view and the quality of the room was fantastic. The building it occupies was clearly an old warehouse and they have done a lot to make it charming and authentic. The timber in the high ceiling is exposed, and they have done a lot of work with the decor.
There are charming metal poles (obviously in their existing support places) holding up the ceiling, just adding to the warehouse feel.
The rooms are cleaned daily and are well maintained.
There is a sauna which is available to use for a fee.
We did not eat at the hotel. Hotel food trends to carry a small premium, EUR22pp for breakfast is not cheap and there are many eateries near by where you can taste the local cuisine for less.
10.0 / 10.0
Overall I enjoyed my stay at the Ghent River Hotel. The rooms were spacious and the bathroom was also large. Points were taken away for cleanliness because of some cobwebs that were above the bed and sink. I was also taken aback by stored luggage being left by the front entrance- easy for anyone to take. However, overall I would recommend the Ghent River Hotel and I'm sure a view of the river would have made this hotel even more grand,

A beautiful hotel, located near the center.
2.0 / 10.0
Booked a room with a double and two singles, but got downgraded to a room with just a double. The hotel management were rude and did not sort the issue and refused a partial refund for the difference between the more expensive room and the cheaper room they provided. Apparently we "should have been grateful for the amazing rate we got" . 😂😂😂.

My room have been upgraded to a river view room. It is so good. Staff are helpful and nice, check-in is quick, room is clean and spacious, breakfast place is at the rooftop restaurant! The hotel is very closed to the shopping street, lots of restaurants, bars and coffee places around, very convenience and safe.

Very convenient location with well sized room. Nice breakfast Room was very dark and housekeeping was woefully lacking. The rock hard bed was sloppily made, the glasses had lip marks from previous user. Came back one day at 1:30 and another at 2:30 and room hadn’t been made up.

Excellent location. While it may appear to be off the beaten track it is close to quaint restaurants and it is easy to walk to town center. Checkin was a bit unorganized but we were upgraded to a nicer room. There a nice areas in the hotel to sit, such as a small bar area and outside tables.
