GHENT-RIVER-HOTEL * * * *
Hôtel sur la rive droite de la Lys abritant des chambres executive charmantes et celles deluxe au plafond en bois.
Le Ghent-River-Hotel se situe sur la rive droite de la Lys et comporte plusieurs bâtiments. Le site principal est une ancienne usine de coton avec une extension moderne. Conseil futé : passez un niveau chambres executive avec une chambre côté rivière, dans la partie ancienne du bâtiment, bien plus charmante avec ses briques apparentes, tandis que les deluxe ont un plafond en bois en prime. L'accueil et le service sont impeccables et le petit déj au dernier étage offre une vue sur les toits de Gand. L'hôtel dispose également d'un sauna et d'une salle de fitness.

The Good:
Great location, only around 5-7 mins walk from the main centre of Ghent with its market squares, cathedrals, Belfry, and situated right on the river.
The rooms are clean and tidy, on the more basic side for the money spent, but clean, tidy, roomy, cleaned everyday, with comfortable bed, a really good shower over bath, and nice citrus bath products. Kettle, tea and coffee on hand.
I didn't book or have a river view room so cannot comment (more later!)
The Middle:
This hotel was $442 for 3 nights when I went, £380, (Dec 2023). This is not decent value in my eyes. It is like an OK Premier Inn or Travelodge in the UK, so circa £79-90 would be acceptable for a night.
I was two weekends before Christmas which I guess leveraged the price.
The Bad:
Noisy, so so noisy.
The walls are paper thin.
First night 3am, I was awoken by my neighbours coming in, talking (not shouting or at any volume), but I could hear talking, coughing, urinating, and then one having a shower, and seemingly trying to hammer a plug into the wall socket (not a euphemism).
Also heard a baby one morning, not crying, just general baby-ness, and general occasional hubbub.
Final night was by far the worst. This is not really Ghent River Hotel's fault, maybe they need to have a word with the bar owners, but travellers should be aware.
A local bar, Blond, gets very noisy, it seems quiet and fine till about midnight then gets busier and busier, people drinking and smoking outside. As I was in a street based room opposite De Fabriek on Raffinaderijstraat, the bar is visible from there, down the small street. Revellers were at the bar till 5:50 am. Plus, as it’s an LGBTQ bar I believe there were some idiots causing antagonism, disagreement, loud voices, arguments and maybe protests from puffy jacketed youths outside. This went on till 5.50am when Police arrived.
Be aware, if you want a good night’s sleep. Go elsewhere.
This review is based on Room 114, first floor, non river side, in mid December 2023.
