Best Western Hotel Chamade

The hotel is located about 5 minutes' walk from Ghent-Sint-Pieters station and about 10 minutes' walk from the Ghent ICC which stands in the middle of a nearby park. There is a tram stop right outside the hotel, which takes you into the town centre, or alternatively if you prefer to walk into town, it is about 20-30 minutes from the hotel, either along the main route where the trams go, or up the street that runs parallel to the river. Rooms have their own kettle and fridge. The room I was in had a walk-in shower rather than a bath. Air conditioning. Clean and comfortable. They are really quick at making up your room - one day I came back from breakfast and it had been done. There is a good selection of food for breakfast, the usual continental fare as well as bacon & eggs. The breakfast room is on the top floor of the hotel, so remember in the morning to go up, rather than down! No lunch or dinner in the hotel. less

This hotel is located about a 10 min drive by Tram from the old city with its numerous attractions. The train stations Gent-Sint-Pieters is about 300m away from the Hotel. The Tram stops right in fron the entrance to the hotel. The facilities are modern and the rooms spacious. Apparently the guest information booklet mentions that mosquitoes can be a menace, so it is advisable to contact the reception in this regard. The beds were comfortable, however street sounds were quite loud considering the fact that our room was on the 4th floor and the windows were shut. A continental breakfast can be booked and includes everything that one needs to start the day. Car parking is available for 6 small to medium sized cars. Manoeuvring the car is a bit tricky, hence avoid parking longer cars there. The slot has to be booked in advance and costs 15€ / day. The staff were friendly and the stay pleasant. less

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
