B&B HOTEL Gent Centrum
Room was clean, hotel was well-staffed and all employees were helpful. We had issues with the sink in our room and also asked for extra pillows - both needs were addressed promptly. Convenient central location close to many restaurants and transit.

JAM Ghent
Interesting, imaginative conversion and very successful space. Really friendly staff and nice rooms. Be aware, and I didnt see it on site, that restaurant and bar does not open on Sundays or Mondays. Staff went out of their way to recommend alternatives, some in locality which were good but pretty ...
