The staff we incredibly accommodating when combining our two bookings, we had previously booked two nights here but we were a day ahead of schedule so booked another on booking.com. The staff didn’t seemed fazed by this and managed to combine our bookings in the system so that we weren’t disturbed during our staff. I wasn’t expecting them to facilitate this change however I was very pleased of how they did 👌we were travelling on bikes and we managed to get spaces in the underground carpark. We fit both bikes easily in one space and you could fit four fully loaded adv or touring bikes in a space. And we were happy to see plenty of cctv cameras dotted around the carpark too. On the subject of motorcycle parking, there is good amount of paved space out the front of the hotel, where there were a couple of bikes there for the duration of our stay also if your happy to leave them out side

Nordic design, simple yet comfortable. I love those 2 large windows when we first opened the door! Feels so relaxing! Just a 15-20 mins walk to the old town and you can reach most of the historical places. Parking garage is available costs €15 per day, provided by the hotel. Or you can choose to park at street right next to the hotel but it charged per minute and not cheap.

Our room is good for disabled, spacious shower room, and the toilet is too high which both of our feet could not even reach the floor, hence every time we sit there, really not comfortable to go for our "number two"😅😅 Electric bending beds provided like the hospital, thought it feels good but not, the bed is a little bended no matter how you made it to a normal position. We both had a back pain on every single morning.. Daily cleaning is disappointed, even our dirty wet towels were still left on the ground after the daily cleanings. 😔 No kettle and cups provided, but I went down to borrow one which is lucky as they only got one left in the reception. Towels, shower and shampoo and toilet paper are provided, other than that, bring your own needs. But still highly recommend,

Good location and 15 min walk into town Centre. Typical breakfast and plentifull. The tram stops outside the hotel and is roughly 15 min ride into the centre. It's worth buying a city ticket if you're staying for 2 or more days. Gives you free access into all attractions, free tram, bus and canal rides.

Quiet location and very comfortable, clean and spacious room. When checking in, the front desk noticed from my passport that it was my birthday. They left a very kind note and complimentary drinks in our room, plus cake at breakfast. Several staff members mentioned my birthday. It was very much appreciated, what a thoughtful gesture. The garden area was a great place to have a drink and play some cards. A good selection at breakfast, even something for vegans (although no soya milk, but I hadn't asked in advance and I'm sure the hotel would have arranged it had I done so). The carpark facilities were great, secure, underground with access into the hotel. Important for us as we travelled by motorbike. It's about a 15 minute walk before you reach the outskirts of the centre of Ghent, perfect for us as far enough so it was quiet at night but close enough to walk.

The weather was very hot when we were there (high 20s/30) and there is no air con in the bedroom. However, there was already a fan in our room and it was a very effective, tall, oscillating one which did the job just fine. The bathroom is a wet room, not my personal favourite but it was well set up and fine for a couple of nights. The door to the bathroom is glass with privacy frosting not reaching the very bottom or top, so a little bit odd, depending on who you're sharing a room with! Still, all very clean and spacious. There was no hand soap in our dispenser, I forgot to ask for it to be filled and we just used the shower gel dispenser instead, easy given the wet room set up!

I chose mainly for location. We were visiting our daughter who lives a few blocks away.

We have used Den Briel a number of times. The hotel is very near St Lucas hospital and the bathrooms throughout the hotel cater to the handicapped/wheelchair bound. That's great if that's what you need. But there is no separation between toilet and shower, so immediately after a shower it is wet near the toilet. Not a deal breaker but wonder if they could have some rooms that did not do that for other, non-handicapped guests or perhaps a movable curtain to limit the splashing.

A very plush hotel in a superb location for easy walking access to the stunning city of Ghent. Large room with plenty of space - though I note i was put in an accessible room so the extra space likely related to wheelchair access (which benefitted me). I rode a motorcycle there, and it offers underground and very secure parking - albeit at a cost. However, I could use the parking the whole of the next day so could visit the city before leaving. Being on a bike also meant I was not subjected to the local LEZ for which your car has to be registered and approved. I used the gym, which had a very good range of equipment. Breakfast was well stocked and relatively good for the money. Staff were very helpful both on check-in and check-out.

The location is perfect. 15 minutes walk to the downtown of Ghent. The room is clean and big since this is a care hotel where people from hospital could stay. The location is near the hospital. The reception were friendly! They have their own parking place.

The shower doesnt have curtain so when you take shower water will be everywhere. The fridge doesnt work. I have called the reception they told me doesnt have to do anything but it was not cold at all. There is no tea or coffee maker in the room. Such a pity when you have 3 star hotel, i have expected to have it in the room.

Not too far from city center, clean and good breakfast

On top of your room cost you also have city tax, parking fee and extra for breakfast. What is the deal the bathroom? Large glass door with only the middle shaded out. The door didn't even stay close. The shower is wide open, no doors, no shower curtain nothing, water goes everywhere. You even get a squeegee stick to collect the water all over the bathroom. Also beware, the toilet seat is way to high. Overall OK for a night or two.

Chose for the location which is three blocks from my daughter's apartment. We came to Gent see her. Is a great facility for someone visiting the nearby Sint Lucas hospital with the bathroom clearly designed with potential hospital patients in mind, though this did not apply in our case. The breakfast was very good with a lot of variety.

I dislike the fact that there is a motion sensor on the bathroom light with clear glass doors which disturbs my sleep when my partner uses the facility at night and visa versa. If there was a way of turning that off, we were not told. That's why I rate the bathroom only fair. Also the walk-in shower, while great for a handicapped person, makes for an unnecessary watery mess on the floor for us ordinary folk. While the breakfast was good, it seemed pricey (18 euros per person as I recall) for a pick-what's-pre-prepared style meal. I would be happy with a simpler, cheaper breakfast since I don't typically eat a big breakfast, but given the price I made it a major meal.

Although the hotel is not located in the city center of Ghent, there's a T4 tram stop right in front of the hotel, making it very convenient. A short distance from the hotel, there is a large ALDI store where you can purchase essential items. The hotel rooms are very spacious and well-equipped.

In some Switzerland cities, when paying the city tax at check-in, the hotel provides a city transportation pass for the duration of the stay. Unfortunately, Ghent does not have such a policy.
