Holiday Inn Express & Suites Ghent by IHG
Stannade en natt. Trevligt bemötande. Allt till belåtenhet. Frukosten utmärkt. Att ta sig till och från hotellet utan bil på kvällen inte helt lätt. Finns spårvagn på gångavstånd (20 min). Ingen buss. Taxi finns förstås.

Aparthotel Castelnou
Such a warm welcome, great to have the parking once worked out where to go, though at a price. Apartment great, spacious & spotlessly clean, well equipped if staying for longer. On 4th floor so very quiet - woken up first night by another guest hammering on his door but this was not fault of hotel! ...
