“In my opinion, this hotel stands out for its central location, placing guests steps away from Ghent's attractions. The thoughtful setup, including family-friendly room options and an outdoor pool, aims to accommodate both leisure and business travelers. I think the on-site dining and historical cellar create a distinctive experience.”

Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Novotel Gent Centrum from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests consistently praise the hotel's amazing city center location, making it easy to explore Ghent. The rooms are frequently described as spacious and comfortable. While some guests have noted the presence of wood chip wallpaper, the convenience of having coffee and tea in the room, along with complimentary water and Rituals products, is appreciated. The hotel also offers underground parking, though maneuvering it with a larger vehicle, like an SUV, might require extra caution due to the tight turns.

The hotel location was superb. it was very close to the main attractions. Sites were within a short walk. i liked that the hotel offered parking, a big plus considering the central area. the hotel also had two entrances, providing easy access to both the shopping street and the canal area.
the bar closed early one night. i still got drinks, but they were from a cooler at reception.

lovely stay in perfect location

outdoor poolhelpful staffspacious room
I found an outdoor swimming pool at the hotel, a nice surprise in a city location. the reception staff helped organize a shared taxi to the station when i left. my room was huge with a large seating area. Spacious rooms are rare now. check-in was quick, and the staff was helpful with information (especially about the neighborhood around the hotel).
the bed was a bit too firm for my liking, but it wasn't a major problem.
