Top Ghent Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Ghent by IHG

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Ghent by IHG

8/10 Good
"The room size at Holiday Inn Express Ghent was good and comfortable. There were plenty of USB charging ports and power sockets, which was very convenient, and the TV was also quite large. The parking area had plenty of available spaces, possibly because the parking fee of €20 per night discouraged some guests from using it. One major issue was the bathroom drainage. The water drained very slowly, and once the shower was turned on, the water quickly overflowed and left the bathroom floor completely wet. The shower area was also not very slip-resistant and lacked any grab bars, which could be a safety concern. Breakfast was included and offered a reasonably good selection."
