Hotel Chamade in Ghent is a delightful find! The modern design and cozy ambiance create a welcoming atmosphere. My room was comfortable and well-equipped, perfect for relaxation. Its location is ideal, just a short walk from the city center and attractions. The friendly staff provided excellent service, making my stay even more enjoyable. Highly recommended for a charming experience in Ghent!
Booked for a friend. The location is superb, less than 1 minute from the church and less than 2 minutes from the bell tower. For such a prime location, the price is very reasonable. Standard rooms only have showers, but upgraded rooms (for an extra 20 Euros) come with a bathtub. Breakfast is comprehensive and served until 10:00 AM, which is a good option if you want to save on meal costs.
On June 14th, I booked a one-night stay for July 5th at the Ghent Marriott Hotel through Ctrip. The room type was a Canal View Deluxe Room (King Bed), costing RMB 2885 (excluding breakfast).
To ensure a good canal view, I also made a special request via Ctrip, and they confirmed they would arrange it (see picture 2).
Upon arrival, I was extremely disappointed. During check-in, the receptionist seemed to avoid eye contact and asked us to see the room first. What we saw was a wall, and only by leaning out could we catch a glimpse of a corner of the canal (see pictures 3, 4, and video). How can this possibly be considered a Canal View Deluxe Room? Isn't this just playing with words? And the 'arrangement confirmed' reply I received was nothing but an empty promise!
Although we argued our case, the front desk claimed it was a system issue or a problem with the third-party platform, and that no other rooms were available. In the end, they compensated us with breakfast vouchers for two and two boat tour tickets.
We were very angry. If a canal view room wasn't available, they should have informed us; we could have booked another hotel offering much better value for money! Moreover, why should consumers suffer emotional and material damages due to a system error?!
Our primary reason for choosing the Marriott's Canal View Deluxe Room was specifically to open the window and enjoy the canal view! This was a huge disappointment!
The basic service was okay. I booked a triple room, but upon entering, I discovered it only had a double bed. It turned out the sofa bed had to be moved out and adjusted by the guest, whereas at other hotels, it was already set up before check-in. The hotel doesn't clean the rooms daily, so guests have to go to the front desk to get any supplies they need in the bathroom. However, these details weren't communicated to guests at check-in.
This place is great, very quiet. There's a small bus terminal right outside (many bus routes start there). The bar downstairs looks lively, but the residential area is completely undisturbed. You have to walk down a corridor to get to the rooms, and the corridor door requires a key card to enter, so there's no need to worry about bar patrons accidentally wandering into the residential area (it's very safe).
The hotel itself is also clean. Although there's a construction site nearby, I didn't see any construction happening, and I couldn't even hear any street noise (which I was quite happy about).
It's perfect for anyone arriving in Ghent by Flixbus, as it's less than a 10-minute walk (about 600 meters) from the Flixbus stop.
Location-wise, it's right next to Ghent City Hall, super central! Most of Ghent's attractions are within a 10-minute walk, and there are plenty of supermarkets and restaurants nearby, like Carrefour and McDonald's. However, because it's so central, it can get a bit noisy; you can still hear people on the street late into the night.
Service: The front desk staff were all very friendly and enthusiastic, and there's complimentary water.
Facilities: It's an older hotel, which is fine, but the TV isn't a smart TV so you can't cast to it. The air conditioning didn't seem to heat up enough, even when set to the maximum fan speed and highest temperature. On the upside, the room itself is very spacious.
Cleanliness: It was very clean.
Overall, for a few hundred yuan, staying in a chain hotel like this offers good value for money.
I had a fantastic stay! The hotel was spotlessly clean overall, and my room was meticulously serviced, making the environment impeccable. The soundproofing in the room was excellent, ensuring a quiet and comfortable atmosphere perfect for a good night's sleep. The location is superb, offering great convenience for getting around. There are also plenty of dining options nearby, making meals incredibly easy. The hotel's facilities are comprehensive, covering all daily necessities. Overall, it offers great value for money, and my experience was exceptional. I'll definitely choose to stay here again on my next trip.

Hotel Carlton in Ghent offers a warm welcome, spacious rooms, and excellent cleanliness. The staff are genuinely helpful, breakfast is generous, and transport links are convenient. It’s quiet yet close to the historic center, making it a comfortable, great-value base for exploring the city for leisure travelers and short stays.
Excellent stay, friendly staff, this hotel offers a minimalistic lean style genre Moxy and CitizenM. I stayed here last year and found the price-quality ratio excellent. My total stay now was 9 days.
The bar and restaurant are excellent, and the breakfast satisfactory for a European hotel (I live in Asia where you’d expect several warm meals, noodles and rice for breakfast!)
However, I extended my stay by a couple of days, and I don’t find that they handled this edge case too well. First a hotel staff member knocked on my door and asked why I hadn’t checked out. I explained the situation and all seemed fine. But later that day housekeeping staff barged into my room several times unannounced , seemingly unaware the room was still occupied (why is there no button with a don’t disturb sign? Or even an old school door hanger?). So please JAM, you need to improve your processes better.

TTak ChiGenerally the cleanliness of lobby floor public areas and room were above average 👍🏻👍🏻
Need to be careful when driving into that expo , ikea and the hotel zone as they located along with each others and shared the same directory board which the indicator bit small you might miss the hotel car park entrance
The front staff he is super friendly and helpful 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I would say the amenities is worth for the price 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
HHuanqiuyuzhoulvxingjiaThis hotel was the most impressive one on my trip through the Netherlands, Germany, France, Luxembourg, and Belgium. It's located right in the heart of Ghent's scenic riverfront, a World Heritage site, one of Europe's top ten design hotels, and on the list of the world's top 100 hotels! Staying here, it truly lives up to its reputation. It's incredibly well-designed, opulent, a genuine antique with a strong sense of culture and history. The classic Baroque style is evident, and the furniture and decor are all traditional European. It exudes the luxurious feel of an ancient European palace! The breakfast was also excellent, especially the breakfast restaurant, which has fantastic views!
GGuest UserThe boss didn't understand English, it was difficult to communicate, and he charged arbitrarily. He changed my double room to a double bed. The location is next to the tram, there is a tram at about 5:00 in the morning, it is very noisy, I can’t sleep

MMax017The best hotel we’ve had so far! Room comes with a mini kitchen (fridge, induction cooker, microwave, pans, and utensils). There was even Nespresso machine and pods. The facilities are modem and the place is clean. The staffs are friendly plus you can buy Ghent city card at the counter! You can walk to the old town in about 15 minutes or take the bus which is just a few minutes walk away from the hotel. Highly recommended and will definitely come back here.
TTravel WWThis hotel has nothing but the front desk. The room is not on the same floor as the front desk. In addition to the excellent location, there is no other recommended price is too low. I don't know how this is listed. Four stars.
GGiles LawrenceThe room was fine. We needed extra bedding and 2 nice staff came immediately and made the extra bed for us. However! We arrived with a reservation confirmation of 2 adults 1 child. Their confirmation had 2 people therefore the room they had was too small. They did have another room for 3 they said we could have but it would be 30 euros extra. At the time we simply agreed and paid as there was a big queue behind us and the amount was small. Buttons seemed like a con to extract more money from us, it wasn't our mistake as we had confirmation for 3 people at the designated price. It's a shame as I really liked Ghent and will certainly return but there are other hotels to choose from.
DDiane PHHands down best view from the room! Booked another night as I had a really good impression and experience - wish I had stayed longer! Bed is comfy and the room is...roomy enough. The ladies at the front were exceptionally accommodating for when I had issues checking out and checking back in. Staff is overall awesome! The only shower room is fairly well kept. For a small amount there will be everything that you will/might need: from towels, laundry/dryer, tea/coffee/beer/snacks, luggage storage, to kayaks. Didn't have to use the common kitchen but it seemed equipped. Really can't go wrong with the location - everything is within reach and the are is just simply beautiful day/night.
