Gravensteen Otel

Very friendly and kind staff! Thank you!

Nice hotel, nice old facade, cool interior with a bar and a small outside area. Nice original interior decor with many original features. Rooms are paired down but tastefully decorated. All have air-conditioning. There are lifts to all floor. Helpful reception staff. Breakfast if you choose it, is a typical continental one with a good selection of breads and pastries, good coffee and freshly squeezed juices. The breakfast room is adjacent to the main hotel. One mistake we made was on arrival at Gent Sint Pieters to walk to the hotel, don't!! It's 3.5km, pretty flat but negotiating road works and renovations to the station was a nightmare. Get a tram or an Uber. We were like two sweaty blobs when we arrived at the hotel. Probably an underestimated hotel but it is ideally located for all Ghent has to offer and the hotel is quiet. Would I recommend it and stay again? Certainly.

Fantastically located, beautiful room. Unfortunately, a lot of noise in the hallway at night.

Very well located. Spacious room. Quite a loud ventilation noise several times a night (room 53), which could be disturbing for sleep. Decent bedding. Functional bathroom, but the shower door doesn't close properly and the hairdryer cord is a bit short. Breakfast was adequate, but nothing special. The reception staff weren't always very competent. Mixed review.

The room was very small. Curtain torn. Separate mattresses (disadvantage). Bathroom small and no ventilation. Breakfast was very good, lots of choice. Scrambled eggs were watery and cold, though. The lock on the inside of the door didn't work... The duration for what it was.

We had a very pleasant experience at Hotel Gravensteen. A free upgrade to a large, luxurious room with a beautiful view of Gravensteen. Furthermore, a very friendly and helpful employee at the reception. The location is also top-notch!

Excellent

Really nice helpful friendly people. Very central Good location. Busy & Loud. Parking problematic. Cramped up rooms.

Beautiful, historically furnished room! An early check-in was arranged upon request 👍 The location is perfect with a view of the castle and within walking distance of various market squares with nice bars, restaurants, and concert halls.

This used to be a mansion we were told by staff. Brilliant location. Room was very stuff and had flies in but over all clean. Check your room door when leaving. Ours didnt always lock once shut so we had to keep re-carsing from inside the room before we left for it to register to lock behind us. The room we had was situated over the car park, so no nice views. And loud delivery people early in the morning along with workmen woke us up. Slamming of other peoples doors was also another thing to make you jump! Having said that, the location is perfect. Not a lot of parking, plus a very confusing way to get to the carpark due to one way roads. Lots of little shops. Not all were open on a Monday. Tuesday was a busier day around town. You also have your usual shops about like primark etc. Loads of places to eat.
