“Classy hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 November 2011

This was our second stay at the Harmony. We were in room 10, at the front of the hotel, overlooking the canal: it was a bit noisy with the traffic on the cobbles outside, but not so bad as to keep us awake.

The room was quite large with a high wooden ceiling and big, comfy four poster bed. There was a desk and separate table and chairs, although no comfy chairs. The WiFi (€10 for 24 hours in total, which was more than enough for our two night stay) worked very well on the table, but not at all on the desk, two meters away! There is no coffee machine any more, but there is a small fridge/minibar. The windows both opened properly, and the fireplace is both lovely and very effective.

The bathroom, with the opaque glass doors, had a huge bath in the middle, two sinks (though only one soap!), and a separate wc and good shower.

Reception was very efficient and friendly. We also booked a parking space under the hotel, which is in a small garage.

Breakfast (included) was a good buffet with both hot and cold items.

The location is excellent, right in the centre, a short walk from everything, and with loads of restaurants and bars nearby.

“People That Care”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 November 2011

The operators of this hotel give you a feeling that someone genuinely cares about your comfort and convenience. The location is excellent. The room was totally quiet. Breakfast was quite nice.
I recommend this hotel highly.

“Great base for Gent”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 November 2011

We stayed just 2 nights in a 'luxury' room, and it certainly was pretty nice.

We'd booked parking under the hotel - well worth doing vs trying to park 'nearby'. The car park is small (so book ahead if you want to use it) and pretty tight (reverse into a space if there's room - but they'll move cars around if necessary for you to get out). However, getting to the hotel, as someone else said, was a bit of a nightmare, partly because we got the wrong exit off the motorway. Their instructions are perfectly correct but hard to follow - the yellow signs are actually with the hotel name on (we missed one as something was parked in front of it) and the 2 instructions about a roundabout are actually different notes on the same roundabout.

Anyway, once there the hotel is perfectly located for all the main sights of central Gent - nothing much over 10minute walk. Castle of the Counts is just round the corner and, if you want to go further afield, the tram stop right by it covers most places.

The (small) pool area looks pleasant enough, but was closed for the winter.
Breakfast was good, with a wide choice and friendly, efficient, service. The bar wasn't often manned or, it seemed, that well used but someone came quickly if you wanted to use it.

Like another reviewer, my only real complaint was about the lighting - far too many halogens that looked great but didn't always illuminate what you wanted and it was difficult to use the bathroom without floodlighting the bedroom.

If you want to try the excellent, if expensive, taster menu at Restaurant Karel Stoute (see reviews), their Gastronomic Package is very good value vs doing things separately - you effectively pay very little for a bottle of champagne, free pay TV, etc

“Perfect location to explore Gent”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 October 2011

My husband and I stayed at the Hotel Harmony for 3 nights during a 5 week European vacation and loved it. Our room was on the top floor with a balcony that overlooked the canal. We also had an amazing view of the clock tower and the church tower. At night the view was simply beautiful. The room was stylishly equipped and we both found the bed to be very comfortable. The hotel is walking distance from all the main attractions as well as a number of very nice restaurants, yet quiet at night. Great service & great location, we would definitely stay here again.
