B&B HOTEL Gent Centrum
Perfect location for central Ghent. The hotel was very clean and staff were friendly and helpful. Lots of great eating and site seeing options within easy walking distance as well as public transportation close by to get to the train station to visit other cities as well. Bed was bigger than expected ...
