Hotels near City Museum for Contemporary Art

Stayed for one night to discover the city and see track cycling in nearby Citadel Park. Very clean hotel with good facilities. Staff spoke perfect English and were very helpful both in the hotel and also about information to explore the city. Enjoyed Ghent immensely; very charismatic city of interesting architecture, canals, trams and bikes. Used the trams to easily get from the hotel to the city centre.

Tram is right in front of hotel. Parking lot is very tight and small, but street parking is fairly available and cheaper than the lot. We used it as a base to visit several other cities, so the fact it was not central was not a factor. The breakfast on the top floor with views of the city is excellent.

Nancy the receptionist was very helpful and friendly and made us very welcome. Room was a little warm but we just opened the window. Great hotel with good transport links to Gent centre by walking or tram.

Had a very enjoyable 4 night stay in Ghent. Carlton Hotel is not far from the railway station (but not so close that there is any noise) so it is very easy to hop onto a train to Antwerp or Bruges, trains run frequently. There is a tram stop a short distance from the hotel and they go to and from the historical centre of Ghent every 10 mins or so. It is an easy 20 min walk, past the park and beside the canal if you prefer. The advantage of staying just a little out of town is that you get to see places that you wouldn't otherwise explore. The room we had was very spacious with two comfortable chairs and a very comfortable king size bed, tea and coffee making facilities and fridge. It is a small thing but it did get a bit chilly in the evenings, I am sure if we had brought this to the attention of the managers, they would have rectified this for us. The best thing that we experienced was the warm welcome and positive attitude of the the two young owners Steven and Jeffery. They quickly oriented us on arrival providing us with car parking facilities, tram tickets, maps and suggestions of places to eat. Ghent is a beautiful city to enjoy, just be sure to book your restaurant table during the day, as even in February it was hard to get a table as many young Ghent people seem to eat out.

No special experience

I loved this place, right from first walking into the grand entrance. High ceilings, a glowing fire, period furniture - all completely sympathetic to the style of the surroundings. I was immediately greeted by Madame, offered a glass of wine by the fire and upgraded to a suite. This is somebody smart about securing repeat business!

Extremely clean, easy to find, great location. Kinda expensive, but really nice.

We were welcomed by a very friendly receptionist called Jenny who directed us into the hotel's car park (only big enough for three cars, so book ahead. 10 euro per night) Hotel and room very clean and tidy. Nicely decorated room and recently re-fitted en suite bathroom with sunken Villeroy & Boch bath, separate shower etc. We had the family room big enough for two adults and two children. We had large comfortable double and children had two comfortable single beds. A door separates children's room from main room. Nice and quiet at night. The room rate did not include breakfast, so we had very nice breakfasts in the adjoining Patrick Foley's Irish Bar. The bar (not the hotel) does smell a little bit cigarette smokey though. All in all, a nice conveniently located place to stay for a city break in beautiful Ghent.

The hotel staff are very friendly and had no problem communicate in English, the room was clean and comfortable. Free wireless internet connection in the room, a very comfortable place to be after a long day walk around Gent.

First time at this hotel. Very quaint and pleasant. Rooms are a little small (even for Europe). If you are looking for luxury, you will be disappointed. Internet service was solid. Breakfast was excellent. Reasonably close to downtown. Staff is excellent and very friendly!
