ibis Gent Centrum St-Baafs Kathedraal

10/10 Excellent
"Our room was comfortable and had a nice shower. The area is noisy, so we had to close the windows and run the AC which worked fine. The location of the hotel is ideal. Tram lines are near enough and the local sights are literally right outside your window. Staff was helpful and the breakfast suitable. Would recommend."

"We were upgraded to a family room but would have rather stayed in superior room due to lack of attention to furnishings. It was a large room and needed more rugs, furniture and wall hanging. So large it could be divided into 2 separate spaces."
