“excellent”

near the main road, good stopover hotel, also next to a tram center so can visit gent without taking your car. will visit again for a long weekend. recommended.

“A great place to stay, especially during the festival”

We stayed there during the Gentse Festen and it was a great choice. During the festival there are trams all day and at 1 am they were leaving every 2-3 mins. It takes about 15 mins to reach the center of Ghent and the area is very nice and quiet. The staff of the hotel was always helpful. The room was big and the bed was very comfortable. A great place to stay.

“Holiday Inn Gent Expo”

Just as advertised and very professional and helpful staff. Brilliant hotel and will be using again in the future.

“Easy Access”

The Holiday Inn, Gent, is situated sandwiched between the Flanders Expo - a little like the NEC but smaller - and Ikea's new store. Once you find your way in - the signs are very small - you park up and climb the steps to the reception area. Booking in was a little embarrassing - my partner and I are gay - a fact which surprised me a little, especially in Europe. However, all ended well and the stay was superb. The room was of a very high standard; comfortable bed and clean en-suite. A couple of hundred yards to the tram which takes you right to the centre of town. Ne aware the Gent is probably a lot bigger than you might think. Enjoy.

“Very good service, definately we wil recomand .”

Nice and comfortable. Good breakfast , nice restaurant.

“Great stay as long as you don't eat breakfast”

Great hotel at an excellent location if visiting Gent. I read reviews before booking at this location, but was still surprised at the high rate of the final bill. The breakfast was outrageously overpriced, and had I known how much it was going to cost, I would not have eaten. I would definitely stay at this hotel again, but NOT eat breakfast. Also, there was no was to turn the heat up in the room. However, the blankets kept us warm and the room temperature did not effect our satisfaction with our stay.

“Good but needs a refresh...”

This was a good hotel and we enjoyed our stay... The staff was attentive and the room was comfortable. The hotel is located fairly close to a tram stop by the expo. The only negative is the decor of the hotel. Stepping off the elevator was like stepping out of a time machine back to the early 90's. The rooms and hotel are in desperate need of face lift.

“Hotel experience”

Helpful staff particularly reception. Breakfast was good too. Room reasonably comfortable, although the soft pillows are very little different to the others, and no iron in room.

“Paper thin walls at the end of the tram line”

I've never stayed in a hotel with such thin walls between each other. When I got back to my room at 11pm, I could here people next door talking. At 5am, I woke up because my neighbour was snoring! The hotel is at the end of the line for tram #1. In one respect, that is an indication of how far it is from the centre of town, but in the other respect, it was a convenient way to reach the centre. This was one of expedia's "secret" hotels, so I knew I was taking a chance with it. The bathrooms are somewhat dated. Parking was EUR9.50 per night, and there is an additional EUR2.50 per person city tax to be paid at the hotel - this is the case for all hotels there. Ghent is a lovely city to visit, but I wouldn't stay at this hotel again given the thin walls between rooms.
