Hotel Cathedral

位置不錯，就是房間比較小，民宿化服務。

The hotel is very clean and tidy, however it also reflects the age of the building, so it is not modern and swish but more rustic and practical. What this hotel has is the central location with a short 5 minute walking distance to St Bavo's cathedral and the main attractions/shops. The hosts are warm, friendly and very helpful. If you travel by car, you can drop off luggage on the side road next to the hotel but will have to park closer to the central areas which are not free but not excessive in price. As an overseas visitor, we registered our vehicle online so we were exempt from Ghent's low emission charge. Breakfast was continental style, so I took oat milk for drinks as I am lactose intolerant and it is quite common for establishments not to be fully aware of food allergies or intolerances as was the case in this instance. The City prides itself on being the capital of vegetarian food and there was a very helpful magazine in the room telling you about the vegan and vegetarian cafes/places to eat. Overall we had a great time and from a convenience point of view, the hotel was in a great place to start our exploration. The Mystic lamb painting is not to be missed. Even if you are not religious the size and quality of the painting is something to behold.

Nice big room with 2 floors. Staff were really friendly & helpful. We had the choice of bed size. They gave us parking alternatives. The hotel was old fashioned (in a good way). The television had BBC 1 & BBC 2. There was access to a computer downstairs. It felt homely coming back in the evening’s to the automatic lights around the hotel turning on. The only thing I would want changed is the beds to be wider. This hotel felt like a home away from home. If I could rate 4 and a half stars I would. I will consider revisiting someday. I recommend you visit.

Clean, comfortable spacious room - a little worn around the edges but what we needed. Very helpful and welcoming staff, and a nice breakfast buffet! A short walk to either the Vrijdagmarkt or the square with the Belfort and cathedral.

Property location is good. Walkable with lot of dining options. The room itself and the property itself is smelly and lacks proper ventilation in bathrooms. It was continuously raining and there was lot of water accumulation just outside the windows. When we accidently opened it, there were bugs which entered the room. My kids and myself had bug bites in the morning, although not serious, it is kind of concerning for the hotel not to weather proof it. Afterall everything is Europe is expensive, but there should be value for the money.

Pretty good location about 10 mins walk from the central sights. Secure car parking was available for us but there aren't too many spaces. The welcome was warm and friendly and the breakfast was good for a budget hotel. As others have said the decor is dated but I was happy to stay here rather than a budget chain.

Good position, very friendly staff that spoke English. We were on the first floor and although the room was not massive, it was OK. Big bathroom. Good air con. Did not have breakfast so can't comment on that. Close to everything in Ghent and what an interesting city. Everything was clean and tidy.

Close, convenient, clean! Easy walk to the Cathedral, and the Ghent city.

A very nice room and bathroom...
