Independent, Red Light District hotels

"For a central hotel, this place is wonderful. Modern, but still has that historic feel when you first enter. All round, the hotel was clean, staff were courteous, and was only a short walk the main area of Ghent. The breakfast was delightful, and dinner was classy at the Olivier Le Petit Bistro. Would definitely stay here again, and will recommend to friends and family. 10/10"

"The staff were very nice. It is connected to the Irish pub which was awesome."

"We stopped here for a night before heading onto Center Parcs. A brilliant hotel, would recommend. A/C in the room on a hot day is a delight!"

"This was our second stay at the Van der Valk Ghent. This stay was as good as our first ever stay! Excellent hotel group, we have booked a stay at the Van Der Valk Amsterdamand its absolutely amazing! Staying again, hell yes!"

"Loved our stay, amazing people and very walkable"

"The hotel was excellent - large, clean room with plenty of storage in a perfect location. We did not have a car and were able to walk everywhere. We planned our stay long before we knew about the Ghent Festival but enjoyed easy access to all of the music stages and festival fun. The annual noose bearers procession passed directly in front of the hotel. An easy walk to Gravensteen castle, St. Bavo’s cathedral, the belfry and canal cruises. Love our stay and the city! "

"Property was good great location but something i was never experienced in other hotels in other countries was to pay for parking. I think you cross the line "

"A beautiful hotel in the heart of Ghent. We visited for the weekend and we were not disappointed. Ghent festival was on during our visit, which was an added bonus…. We will definitely be back. Beautiful city, fantastic hotel; clean, with large refurbed rooms. convenient location with wonderful staff. "

"Nice clean suite, comfortable bed for deep sleep. "
