10/10 Exceptional

Excellent stay

While it’s in an industrial area - perfect for the arena nearby - it’s also extremely welcoming, comfortable and family friendly. The food (breakfast and dinner) were both standout, the room was spacious and comfortable and the staff very friendly. The whole place is very tranquil. We’ll definitely go back.

Great hotel to stay with family.

Another great stay at this hotel for us as a family. When ever we have the opportunity to stay in Belgium we chose Van der Valk for simply great servive we receive. This year on our return to UK from our trip to Europe we chose this hotel again and our experience again was lovely. From check in to the room choice and great breakfast we received an outstanding service.

Recommend the family suite

We stayed in the family suite and it was so lovely. Perfect for a family of four, our 5 year old loved it. Lots of little lovely details such as wash pack especially for children! Lovely cot available at an extra charge.

Industrial buildings were very ugly

Stay was fine but horrible location. Very industrial buildings all around, terrible views in every direction. Ghent was having their annual 10 day music fest and therefor NO bus service to this area…very inconvenient and extra unplanned expense having to use uber and taxis 2-3 times a day.

8/10 Very good

Nice hotel but remote location

Nice hotel but located in an industrial area, so you need to take a taxi to get to the city center (the bus does not pass by during the weekends). Great hotel with high room standards, as always for Van der Valk hotels. 3 restaurants + skybar in the hotel. We ate at two of them. Had a 6 course meal at Mr. Sato which unfortunately was on the average (it was saved by the meat dish and a very good dessert) so there is room for improvement (waited 20 min for a non-alcoholic beer after having reminded 3 waiters. The cutlery was not changed between the different courses, just left straight on the table which had no table cloth. Not quite the standard you expect for a EUR 80 meal). Overall a good hotel experience and Gent was a beatiful city.

Like we are used to at Van der Valk, comfortable stay. Modern and clean room and kind staff
1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful modern hotel with a car park.

We only stayed at this hotel for one night. After a long drive, we arrived with no real expectations when booking—our main priorities were having secure parking (note: there’s a €10 fee) and being reasonably close to Ghent city centre. What we loved about this hotel is that from the moment you walk into reception, it feels clean, modern, and welcoming. The family room we booked was surprisingly spacious and bright—I honestly didn’t expect to get such a large room for a family. More hotels should take note and offer proper double beds for families! The room even had a comfortable seating area, which was a great bonus. The only minor downside was the lack of hair conditioner. I always wonder why, in this day and age, hotels don’t provide it as standard. Many travellers rely on small travel-sized bottles, so finding it in a hotel always feels like a thoughtful touch. Other than that, everything was perfect, and we would definitely stay here again.
Aivaras, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Quality, luxury and high-tech are 3 words that come to mind. A distance from Ghent centre but easy and exciting transport on local bus and tram. Staff are first class - special mention of a waitress in the Lobby bar ( short Cambodian lady) who provided friendly and excellent service to my family.

Modern and fresh

The hotel was vey impressive, modern and well thought out. The bed was incredibly comfy. Very quiet. Great restaurant too. We loved our stay.
Arabella, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Not soundproof

I often stay at Van Der Valk as “you know what you get”, which is usually high standard for affordable price. Whilst this hotel outside of Genk had spacious rooms, very comfortable beds it had several drawbacks which you would not expect. Small things like no separate light switch for bathroom (same switch as for the bedroom) but the worst aspect was that the rooms were not soundproof at all. Noise and conversations from street level clearly heard in our rooms. That is unusual for Van der Valk which usually gets the basics spot on. The area of the hotel is really strange and you should only see this as a “motel” as you need a car to get anywhere sensible.
