Since we've traveled by train, the Carlton was conveniently located in a quiet side road within a three minutes walking distance from the station. There are a few relatively good restaurants in walking distance as well. We've noticed plenty of parking available in the vicinity of the hotel. We had a room on the third floor looking out of the back of the house. The room was very large, spotlessly clean and quiet day and night. There was a coffee maker, a small fridge, and filtered drinking water was provided. The HVAC system was working well, no smell, no noise. The perfect place to be and to relax.

Unfortunately, the train station is a half an hour walk into the historic downtown of Gent. Though the walk is very pleasant along the river Lys. Also, there are two trams running downtown or one can use the Dott scooters or e-bikes as well.

Fantastic hotel and facilities which we have used now four times on our annual return drive from criatas and over night stop off before crossing tge channel Our first time having breakfast due to a later crossing and brilliant l. The lady making breakfast and selection on offer is great and lots of choice and freshly cooked anything, within reason as you so desire

Its difficult to find something not to like as the Carlton has everything, maybe a little more pressure out of the showers is a very minor detail but it doesn't stop out selection of choosing this hotel or recommending in the future

Lovely room, sincere and friendly staff who gave good information as to how to get to the centre. Easy to find from the motorway. On street parking was easy to find right outside the hotel (payable) but I do think they had a garage as well but we didn’t use it. Nice quality toiletries in the room - shampoo, conditioner, body wash and body lotion. Kettle for tea and a coffee machine plus water as complimentary with a small selection of drinks in the fridge which are chargeable. Beds and bedding were comfortable. Probably the best nights sleep we had while away - it was hot in the room so we opened the windows but there were plenty of people having a ‘good time’ outside which made it quite noisy, but when we closed the windows the glazing was very effective and the room had climate control so we were able to cool the room without it being too cold and it wasn’t noisy at all. We didn’t take breakfast so can’t comment. Well situated to the tram and train station which was 5 mins away. Once you got your head round the trams they were straightforward and we were in the city in no time. The festival was on which was a bit of a surprise (last night decision to stay in Gent was impromptu) but a great vibe in amongst the lovely city. Also close to the hotel is a nice park which was pleasant to walk around in the evening. If I were to go back again (esp if driving) I would definitely stay here.

Nothing. All good :-)

Liked the large size of this room. Bed was super comfy, as were the side chairs. It's an older place and shows it age on walls, doors and skirting but renovations to furniture and fittings give a modern feel. The position is excellent if you want regular access to the train station. The staff are lovely and helped us out when we needed a linen change half an hour after arriving due to a leaking water bottle. The shower, while not powerful, was fine but it is over a bath, so be aware of that. Highly recommend Paul's burger place across the street if you need some takeaway food.

Everything was good but if I had to be picky I would say that the toilet was a bit too close to the wall for my liking and toilet paper hard to reach behind. The hairdryer was a bit old.

First of all, all of the staff was super friendly and helpful from start to finish. I think that is not a coincidence. There wasn’t anything they weren’t prepared to take care of or have a solution at hand and I thought we had some tricky curve balls coming out of our hats. Problems solved 10/10. Rooms were nice and clean and the simple breakfast was well worth it.

Parking in the city is definitely a bit of a problem and their own garage right beside the hotel is tiny, so it is really recommended to book it in advance, if you come with a car. Luckily we got a spot there even though we didn’t.

Close to the train station and trams to the centre of the city. Lovely bright, attractive room with comfortable beds. Excellent first impressions. Staff were friendly, and the receptionist on arrival spent time explaining on a map where the major attractions were and how to get there, which we found most helpful. The room had air conditioning, which was lovely when the outside temperature was 30+ degrees C.

The lift was small and noisy.

Staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good value with a wide choice. Parking was convenient and secure. TripAdvisor gave the impression that the hotel was closer to the centre.

Bathroom needs improvement. Bath is dangerous if used as a shower as no bath mat. Water pressure is poor. I put cold on the basin and my wife was nearly scalded in the shower. Litter - cardboard out for collection on all 3 days of our visit - not at the hotel but all other premises down the street. It doesn't leave a good first or last impression.

The staff that greeted us was so pleasant and welcoming. He helped us figure out the street parking and ensured we knew the rules to avoid a ticket. The room was a really good size and comfortable. It was walking distance to a beautiful park.

We knew we chose a hotel out of the city core and it was about a 25 minute walk to the castle (one landmark to gauge the distance). We walked through the park and along the canals which was lovely.

Location : a mere 350 meters from the Ghent St Peters station. Do watch out for dog poo on the street. Hotel : Small reception area but cosy enough. Hotel front desk was very helpful in providing information on food and direction to city center. Elevator a bit small but pretty typical in european city center. We had 4 rooms and occupied the entired level - we could have open all our doors and made it felt like our private huge apartment which was fun. Room is spcious, clean and well setup; good lighting with free bottled water and coffee machine in the room, we especially like the chairs which we could sit and chat while sipping drinks. Wonderful ...

Breakfast spread a bit too few options for the price, so we decided to eat elsewhere.

A beautiful boutique hotel and the wonderful surprise of finding a place that didn’t sacrifice the space to get more rooms. Our room was big and beautifully decorated. The bed was comfortable, we had extra pillows, and free water. The staff was friendly and helpful. It was very quiet; we didn’t hear neighbors or the outside world, and the building is on a quiet street anyway. We truly loved it.

It’s not in the center, but you have a tram nearby that will take you there if you need it, or you can take a bit of a longer walk.
