Best Western Hotel Chamade

The Best hotel to stay in Ghent. The room was beautiful, clean and the breakfast option was like feather on the cap. The service provided by the staffs were excellent. The city center is just ten min by car. It is well connected by the public transport as well. less

We chose this hotel knowing we were arriving at the train station which is a very easy walk to the hotel. If that is a significant element to your choice, this is a good hotel to choose. Pros are * proximity to train station * decent buffet breakfast with the usual cheeses, meats, yogurts, fruit, baked goods, cereals (avoid the scrambled eggs, though...and the toaster takes a while) and the 6th floor breakfast room is pleasant. *Staff were very helpful and cheerful at every encounter * luggage storage is easy and there is a nice waiting room in the reception area Cons are: * rooms and property are just OK, no real style or character * you need to take the streetcar (stops right in front of the hotel!) @ €3 per person per ride to get to/from old town - book of 10 can be bought at the train station for €25. This hotel IS convenient for train travel & catching the tram - just wish they'd put a little style into it! NOTE if you need to get from one train station to the other in Ghent between arriving & departing, it is only about €2.40 on the train and much easier/cheaper/faster than the bus or tram! less

Hotel stuff was very professional and polite, we used also luggage storage while we were wandering the streets. Wifi was working perfectly. Room was perfectly clean, bathroom was new, rest of the room was oldly furnished but comfy enough (in style of BW hotels, I was before). Breakfast was nice and standard and expected for 3/4 stars hotel. Best thing was that it was so close to St Piters (main) train station in Gent so it was easy to get to there from Gent, and from the hotel to city center tram 1 is going, and tram station is directly in front of the hotel. Also the street where hotel is located is peacful and we had very nice evening there. Only play attention for check in that reception is closed after 11PM, but I had a chance to see that one girl had a problem to get in, and she called stuff and they responded immediately and helped here (happened after midnight). So big plus for all stuff in the hotel in general. less

This was a very short stay, just 1 night, the rooms were spacious, tidy and clean. There was free wifi which was relatively fast. I was on the second floor facing the street though didn't hear a lot of noise which was good. The staff is friendly and gave me the information that I needed. The hotel is situated right in front of a tram station and 5 minute walk to the train station. less

We stayed for eight nights at BW Hotel Chamade, using Ghent as a base for all of our Belgium day trips. The hotel staff was outstanding and very very helpful. The breakfast was well stocked and varied enough that we never tired of it in eight mornings. I would say that the mattresses are a bit on the soft side. I do not know if this means that they are old. Had these been firmer, I would've given a five star review. less
