The front desk staff were friendly and nice and the room was of decent size and came with a balcony. The toilet/shower facilities seemed like a bit of an afterthought. We paid around 130 euros a night and at that price I was hoping some of the bar snacks in the room and some soft drinks would come complimentary. But all we got was a complimentary glass of water. The bar on the ground floor is a good place to have a few beers. We had a very friendly waiter who looked after us during an evening of drinking and recommended certain beers and gave us some good suggestions. Overall, based on this experience I would only recommend this place if you're on a business visit. If you're going for a holiday or for leisure purposes I suggest you look for some local B&Bs that reflect the true character of the lovely city that Ghent is.

I really enjoyed staying at this hotel. It's big and quite luxurious. The room we had was on the…read moreground floor. It was spacious and equiped with all the necessary things. The room had a sliding door that took you to the garden area behind the building. It was lovely. We did not spend much time in the hotel, but the time we spent there was pleasant. Breakfast is a feast with lots of options: cold and warm. I do have to say it was very very busy. The hotel is located in a quite street but very close to the historic center of the city. There is a parking facility behind the hotel, but you can also park in the parking garage down the street. This was a cheaper option than parking in the hotel area. The only reason why this hotel gets 4 stars instead of 5, is that when we went to the restaurant around dinner time, we stood at the counter for several minutes without being asked if we wanted to be seated. We were about to head into town for dinner but were very curious about their restaurant menu. Several staff members walked past us as if they didn't see us and when we finally got a hold of someone, it was as if we were disturbing them.

We absolutely adored this hotel…read more Checking in our room was far away from the elevators as requested and we realized they'd gifted us a delicious fruit plate when we opened our door. The view from our room was fantastic, one of the best we've ever had while traveling, and we loved the comfortable chair and bench facing the water. I do wish they had a bit more luggage space but the hotel was welcoming and comfortable and it's an old building which, we discovered on a tour, used to be a brothel. The hotel's history is showcased through the two gold swans that still sit facing away from each other on the front of the building. The swans symbolize fidelity and by facing away from one another and in gold they were a notification for potential patrons who could not read. To go back to the hotel in it's current form, the lobby includes two glass elevators at opposite ends of the hotel and breakfast is offered in the adjoining restaurant in the mornings. All in all, our stay at the Ghent Marriott Hotel was wonderful and I would highly recommend it to those looking to visit Ghent.

Food was great, service was great and loved our stay.

That being said I didn't even mind paying the citation because of the wonderful stay and staff.

The woman at the front desk was patient and friendly as I frantically searched my email looking for a confirmation, only to discover I didn't have one. Luckily they still had some rooms left, so she quickly wrung me up and I was on my way to my room. The room was a scrumptiously warm haven and all I wanted to do was fall into the fluffy king bed, but I resisted because I still had to eat, and let's be honest, hunger trumps sleepiness. I was very impressed with the modernity of the room. It had a button-controlled light system installed by the door, the desk, and the bed, with options for dim lighting, table lighting, or full lighting. It was also equipped with two outlets and USB ports, one by the desk and one by the bed. The bathroom was large and accessible - support beams surrounding the WC and a big shower with two wide doors. Not sure if they're all like that, but I was digging the big shower! It was also extremely quiet. Needless to say, I slept wonderfully and wish I could have stayed another night!

Definitely an excellent option. It's a four stars hotel with fantastic cost benefit!

We did take a taxi, but found out the entrance for guests is around the back on the cobblestone. You will need to go up to an elevator to find the lobby. The inside of the hotel is very cool, and very themed towards the old post office vibe that it used to be. The staff at the front desk is very nice and accommodating, and they will walk you to your room and show you everything. We had a room that was a king bed loft style, with the bathroom on the second level. They had cocktails little treats and stuff in the mini bar in the room. The bed was very comfortable. The windows opened up and looked out right into the city center. Wow it was beautiful and the perfect location!!! There are plenty of things within walking distance to the hotel, including the Castle, bars and restaurants, the river bus stop tram stop, etc. The hotel has an on-site bar and restaurant. We had a few cocktails from the bar. It was super cozy and a really good time! It appeared a lot of people from the city were there so it was a highly sought after bar to go to. Overall I really recommend staying at the post even if it's a little bit more expensive it's totally worth it!!

We wouldn't have stumbled upon this place, and when looking for it, we didn't even see it when we looked down the quiet street (the patio is in the back so you don't see tables on the street).

For food we had the crispy ayam, pan con sobrasada, and hola tacos vegetarian. All were really interesting and delicious. The crispy crystal bread was incredibly light. Would definitely come back!

My waitress Charlotte suggested the Gehaktballetjes, a meatball dish stuffed with melted cheese and all I can say is a big Belgium yum to that one.

The hotel is right above the square, next to the performing arts venue, and it happened to be hosting a carnival while we were there. We immediately set off for the center of town, in search of all things cheesy tourist. It was a short walk, made along wide streets. Our room was brightly decorated in black and white, with modern bath. It overlooked the market, and though there was a carnival, the window and shades were sufficient for blocking the noise and lights, and the comfortable bed and linens helped for a good night's sleep. While the room was quite modern, the stairwells and common areas were older, though still well-cared for. The staff at check-in and check-out were quite helpful, selling us post card stamps, mailing post cards, and checking our luggage so that we could do more exploring. The hotel is also quite centrally located to the walking path around the city, which we enjoyed during our morning run. And it's less than a mile walk from the train station, so safe for us to walk even with our large American suitcases.
