Ghent hotels near Ghent University

Pros: Room was very nice, extremely comfy bed&pillows. Bathroom was amazing, huge and nice. Breakfast was good. Staff was very-very friendly and helpful.

Cons: Weather :(

Pros: We were visiting Gent (March 2020) to see the Jan Van Eyck exhibit at the MSK, and to visit friends. The Post's location is very central in Gent; so everything is really easy to get and find. Note - do not attempt to drive a car into central Gent as the centre is pedestrianized - Taxis and the Gent Tram will get you and your luggage easily to the Post. Breakfasts at the Post were phenomenal, and the breakfast staff were extremely helpful and friendly. The room we had - No. 9 - was very nice; however, we were surprised that the bathroom facilities (especially the toilet) was on a different floor from the bedroom.

Cons: The first set of stairs at the front and back of the Hotel made it really challenging to bring luggage to the hotel elevator. The lighting system in the room was a little bit quirky to use.

Pros: Due to the Coronavirus pandemic we were unable to travel to Belgium and stay at the Post Hotel. I was very impressed when the Post Hotel contacted us proactively and unprompted to say that we could change the dates of our stay anytime during the next 12 months. In the current crisis I think this demonstrates exceptional customer service. My wife and I are really looking forward to staying in the Post Hotel in beautiful Ghent hopefully later this year when this terrible pandemic abates.

Cons: Nothing - all of my dealings with the hotel have been excellent

Pros: Beautifully restored historic building. Great taste.

Cons: If you’re arriving by your own car you cannot park near the hotel. It is located in the ancient city center where you can only drop off and pick up. The public car park is about a 5 min walk away. Taxis are no problem.

Pros: Las camas son muy comodas, y la habitacion muy linda.

Cons: Todo espectacular!

Pros: Beautiful gothic styling, fabulous design, lots of little antique details. Great location in the middle of the city, easy walking distance to old part of town, sights, etc.

Cons: Attractive room but cramped sitting area with toilet on one floor, with bed and shower up steep stairs. Not ideal if you want to go to toilet in the night (and you have to go upstairs to wash after using toilet). We were guests at an extraordinary time (24h after announcement of coronavirus lockdown in Belgium). Senior management had clearly not thought at all about the impact on the tiny number of guests. All restaurants etc closed, and we had nowhere to go, nothing to see. Management could easily have given details/recommendations of takeaway services, or even approached one or two restaurants to arrange delivered food. Instead we had to wander round an unknown city on a cold evening, failing to find a meal. Only 7 out of 40 rooms occupied, but management would not let us sit in the bar area so we were effectively trapped in our rather cramped rooms. It would have made a huge difference (and not cost the hotel a penny) to have offered us larger rooms to stay in and entertain ourselves. The poor staff on duty were friendly and tried to be helpful, but senior management should think more about their guests' wellbeing.

Pros: Breakfast was delicious, a very good variety of pastries, bread, fruits to carry you for the day. , bed extra comfy, the decor of the rooms are impressive.

Pros: location, interior, friendliness

Cons: airco not working properly tv channels missing even after intervention of very kind staff

Pros: the best!

Pros: Everything, especially breakfast :)

Cons: Maybe due to snoring of other people, lack of charging infrastructure(just one socket, but maybe this is subjective)

Pros: Location and staff were great.

Cons: We had a private 3 bed room. This was very tiny and hard to move around in. A last minute add on booked a bed in a 4 bed dorm. She slept on our floor as the room she was in was very noisy. Though the noise of other guests can not always be controlled by the hostel, there could be measure put in place to help minimise the noise as the building itself is very old and loud when walking past or opening and closing doors.

Pros: Location, friendly staff

Cons: Rumbling traffic noises at night make it hard to fall asleep, but not really a big deal

Pros: Good location,nice people, nice breakfast and very clean

Pros: Staff were so kind and hardworking to keep the Hostel so clean and Efficient !!! Loved the views from the room and also from the Sitting area, Dining area and the kitchen. Young women and Men keep the Hostel Clean and Safe !!! They are Exceptional, all of them. That made my Ghent vacation even more Special. Zeer Bedankt to the Guys and Gals of the Hostel !!!!

Pros: Lovely historic building in a tremendous location on the waterside. Absolutely central in this beautiful town of Ghent. Charming reception staff. Crisp clean bedding for individual buks with reading light and charging point. Essential nowadays. A good experience

Cons: The bunks could be improved with privacy curtains

Pros: It's easy to reach the hostel once you got off the bus. It's well-located, the town's small anyway. It's charming and clean. I only stayed one night but overall I had a great experience.
