“Short break in Gent”

On a short break in Gent to visit relatives. The Hotel was well situated for easy access to all main Cities and towns. Easy to find, good parking, good breakfast and very pleasant staff. We did not take dinner but the menu looked very good.

“Great value hotel.”

I stayed at the Campanile for 2 nights to attend the Ghent six day track cycling event. The hotel is the typical Campanile style consisting of 2 storey blocks with rooms on ground and first floor level. From entering the reception you got a feeling that the place was cared for. Friendly staff, clean and well organised reception and restaurant. I ate all my meals there in between going to the velodrome, and although the menue was basic the food was well cooked, tasty and well presented. The room was very clean and presentable. No noise overnight and the rear rooms overlook a quiet garden area. Overall you got the impression of a well run hotel by poeple who cared. I will be going back next year and have no hesitation in recomending this hotel for anybody who is looking for accomodation close to the city center that is not overpriced. (In other words like me living on a budget and not expense account).

“Incorrect Review”

The review "Quaint is OK, however not in extremes" for the hotel Campanile was actually submitted for a different hotel we stayed at during our recent trip. I hope that this review corrects any misconceptions.

“Good Memory”

It is a great accomodation in Companile Ghent, the service is great, the lady in front desk is very friendly, and the food is ok. And, importantly, when we stayed there, the weather became nice. Very lucky! I would like to visit again next time if possible.

“Campanile Hotel Gent review”

The Campanile Hotel Gent is a few minutes drive from Flanders Expo. It is very clean and cheap for what you get.

“Convenient stop over”

Basically a Motel with a seperate restaurant. Room very comfortable, clean and modern. Restaurant didn't have a good chice of food, the wine was awful. The set meal was the better option as it was cheaper. Breakfast very good, lots of choice, fresh orange juice, fruit. cereal and hot pastries. Cost of room was average but the food was expensive. Would only stay there for convenience to the Motorway.

“It's a Motel”

GOOD 1) It's very reasonably priced compared with other hotels in the area. 2) The rooms are faultlessly clean 3) The mattresses are of a good quality, so you can really get a good night's sleep 4) The reception staff are very helpful and speak excellent English. 5) If you are travelling by car, the hotel is dead easy to access from the motorway. 6) The bathroom is highly practical - loads of hot and high-pressured water 7) There's quite a good buffet breakfast at a reasonable price NOT SO GOOD 1) The rooms are in a separate block from the reception, and the external corridors are reminiscent of a 1970's council estate block in the UK. 2) The decor of the rooms is bland and cheap - the furniture looks tacky, and the linoleum floors aren't the nicest. 3) The wall-mounted electric heater is set to low on arrival so the room will be initially cold in winter. 4) There seemed to be a lingering smell of cleaning detergents in the rooms. 5) Savings made on the room will be offset in part by the cost of taxis into the centre of Gent: the hotel isn't on a direct bus or tramline into the centre. Conclusion: reasonable (though certainly not romantic) launchpad for exploring Gent and a practical option for transit travellers. We were disappointed at first because of the lack of charm, but once we had re-aligned our expectations and started perceiving the hotel as a motel, then it wasn't bad at all.

“A Motel really”

Campaniles were good maybe 20 years ago, but now they are a bit dated. This one is quite a long way outside Ghent with no handy public transport. A car is needed. The rooms open directly to the outside so there is very little security

“Basic... but clean.”

No frills hotel. I was concerned when we pulled in because it's one of those hotels where the doors open to outside. It's just a clean room if you've got to stay for one night. The beds were fine. Parking...well, it's Europe. You kind of get use to never finding parking.

“Nice place, shame about the location”

This hotel is approximately 6kms from the centre of Ghent and not on any discerbible public transport route...therefore a car is necessary. The staff were incredibly helpful. Although we had a non-smoking room it was evident it had been a smoking room in the past (lingering smell), however, it was comfortable but not as big as the pictures would suggest.
