Best Western Hotel Chamade

Well-situated between the St Pieters railway station and the Citadel Park and a tram stop 20 m from the hotel entrance, this place is a good choice. You can walk to the city centre (20-25 min) or take the direct tram line (10 min). The single rooms are quite small, but the general standard is good. Some drawbacks: the underground parking space is too small for six cars, especially if you have an SUV or station wagon. The TV system in the room is a bit complicated and the manual in the room lacks detail. Staff are friendly. less

Great location just blocks from the train station. Ghent is a good home base to visit nearby cities in Belgium. The hotel staff was very helpful in recommending sites and restaurants in Ghent. The hotel was clean and offered more than average facilities and conveniences. A very well stocked breakfast is included. less

Not the fanciest nor the most ornate hotel we have ever experienced, but it has so many advantages to experiencing Ghent.  First off, we took the train to St. Pieters station.  The hotel is no more than a 10 -15 minute walk away from the station if you can read your phone GPS correctly.  Secondly, all you have to do is walk out of the hotel door to the tram stop and catch the #1 tram into the heart of the historic town center.  It's approximately 6 stops to the "Korenmarkt" stop.  You can purchase tram tickets for the 10 minute ride from the front desk. We arrived prior to the 3pm check in time, and they graciously stored our luggage.  The young lady who fronted the desk could not have been nicer.  She went out of her way to make sure we got into town without incident.  The night clerk, Ahmed, personally helped me mail all my postcards by putting stamps on them as I had run out of stamps.  Just a wonderful group of friendly, caring people. Our rooms were nicely appointed.  One of the few rooms we had in Europe that actually had a tub.  The rooms were clean and well maintained.  The only complaint was that the tub filled ever so slowly.  Breakfast was offered on the 6th floor, but we did not partake in it as we left early in the morning prior to service in order to catch an early train. If you are looking for a great location to crash after a day in Ghent, I would highly recommend this place.  If you want to be pampered and want luxurious surroundings, probably not your cup of tea.  Not sure how they handle cars if you are arriving by automobile.  We planned on coming and leaving via train so we wanted a location near the train station with easy access to town center.  That's exactly what we got.  We would definitely go back here again as it was a very pleasant encounter. less

The hotel is s little tired in places but is quite well situated especially for the station. Main downtown would be about 15 min walk or there is a tram stop immediately outside. There was no bottled water provided in room and it was odd shaped with an unpleasant outlook. Overall rather tired. Breakfast was continental with bacon and scrambled eggs. All self service but perfectly adequate in a room on the top floor. You have to book and pay extra for car park and it is incredibly tight to get in and out even for a mid range vehicle. Staff member on check in was very pleasant. There is a small bar there but not one that is likely ever to be used. Overall, okay for a short stay. less

Location was excellent, close to train, tram and bus. Amenities were good. Breakfast was also good with continental breakfast. Since it was summer I had to switch on the air conditioner. Only issue I had was the bed which was hard for me. less
