Excellent hotel apartment with separate living room / kitchen. Very well maintained. Reception were great as we arrived close to closing time, but they stayed on to get us parked and provided a map with recommended walking route to the old city.
Convenient location with a 15 minute walk to the castle / cathedral.
Big unit with comfortable beds
Pillows were terrible though. Had a small kitchen. The breakfast was good and lots of choices.
Close to Gent Dampoort station, less than 10 minute walk. About a 15 minute walk to city central and all the sites. A few restaurants closer than walking to the city. Overall good place if you don't mind the walk to sites and are looking for the extra room and kitchen.
We only stayed for 1 night, the staff were so lovely and helpful, really genuine and friendly. The hotel is very far out of the city Center and not in a great location for walking about with kids, the room was large and had everything we could need, some areas looked worn and the beds were very small, other than that there was nothing to complain about.
Staff were so friendly and helpful, the apartment was perfect for 4 of us staying for the weekend. We were able to walk into the centre in just over 20mins.
Clean and simple room, staff were very accommodating. Close to Dampoort train station and within walking distance to the centre of Ghent. Breakfast that is provided was pretty good.
The suite was spacious and had a kitchenette with all the amenities needed to make a quick meal after eating out a lot of my trip.
The breakfast was great with a wide variety of items and served in the lovely dinning room/lounge
Aparthotel Castelnou is a delightful place to stay. The apartment was spacious and spotless and had everything you could possibly need. Staff were so helpful, attentive and friendly, including advice on the best way to walk into the city centre. Dinner was amazing and there is a very pleasant small garden for eating outside. I'd thoroughly recommend this as a great place to stay.
Great location for walking to city centre. Friendly, efficient and helpful Reception staff. Limited (and a little expensive) but convenient on-site, secure parking.
Good food in the Dali restaurant and excellent breakfast buffet (included in room rate).
Studio was spacious and well equipped with sufficent facilities to prepare a simple meal and relax in the evening if you do not wish to venture out to a restaurant after a day sightseeing.
Ghent is a lovely, walkable city and we would absolutely stay at Castelnou again.
Welcoming arrival, clean, good restaurant on site, good for business travel

Really good experience, the rooms are big, very clean and quite new. Living room space separated from the bedroom, very surprised! Great front desk experience as well. Great breakfast
We had a lovely stay in Gent at the CASTLENOU apartment/hoIel.I would suggest having complimentary coffee snd tea available for guests. There are both in the rooms, however a limited selection. Breakfast had an extensive selection of a variety of breakfast foods for fifferent cultures. We had a suite which was roomy.
I had a really nice stay, the room was great with a lot of space. The staff were lovely and super helpful. It's a very easy walk into the town centre. Would definitely stay again.
