We got to the hotel quite late , the staff was cheerful and helpful and found a room to fit our needs. It was a beautiful room , on the ground floor overlooking the... More

A location that is hard to beat, just near Vridagsmarkt, one of the main squares, and right on the river. Everywhere is nearby and walkable but the hotel is quiet. Some of the rooms are very small and cramped while others are enormous and very characterful. However be aware that the larger rooms do tend to be rather chilly. As... More

We were a bit early, but the friendly receptionist checked if our room was available (it was) and we checked in. The room was nice: quiet and clean. Bathroom with bath and plenty of towels and other stuff. The breakfast the next morning was huge. Too much to choose from for me, but everything was there: several kinds of bread,... More

We'd been staying with family in Germany and decided to stop over in Ghent since it was pretty much on our route back to catch the ferry port in Dunkirk. I'd always wanted to visit the city, so it seemed like a good opportunity. The hotel is well situated in the historic centre of the city, which was ideal as... More

Super friendly, helpful staff. I had a room in the old part of the hotel with a river view. Very quiet. Difficult to find any faults. I will unhesitatingly recommend GRH to my friends. More

A very interesting and centrally located hotel at the heart of Ghent city centre. Despite an error in the booking, the hotel staff couldn't do enough to rectify the problems with patience and speed. They also offered free breakfast as a gesture of goodwill. The room was great, with view over the river. It was tastefully decorated and was clean... More
