Novotel Gent Centrum Map, Address, Transportation & Nearest Stations and Airport

An excellent small-scale hotel, close to the busy heart of Ghent but located in a quiet street. Parking is available nearby in the public car park in Savaanstraat. We received a warm welcome. Our room was clean and modern, with convenient controls for lights, etc. The bathroom was small but comfortable, with a good shower and wonderful Codage products in environmentally friendly dispensers. It is definitely worthwhile to reserve 1 hour in the wellness (private), this is included in the price. Every detail had also been taken into account in the wellness area. The breakfast was very nice and tasty, with plenty of choice and very tasty à la carte dishes. Kudos also for the super friendly service! We were very satisfied, but perhaps dare to give one more tip: a pillow menu, so that you can choose a Tempur pillow. We will return to this hotel on our next visit to Ghent!

The location is fantastic, right on the water and you can walk out the door to explore Ghent. The hotel itself is fine, not the most modern/ nicest Marriott I have ever stayed at and certainly not the worst. Parts definitely seem dated. There is a parking garage under the hotel- and you can park there for a nightly fee. The service was not good. When I checked in there was absolutely no recognition of my Ambassador Elite status and no benefits of that status were explained to me. I asked about a suite upgrade, and the girl that was checking me in was fine but another girl (long straight dark brown hair) yelled over from the other side of the counter in a very rude way saying she took care of it already (cutting off the other associate). Our room was not a suite- so she didn't take care of it. Then I asked about a late check out and she yelled over again saying she put it in the system. When I asked if our keys would continue to work she looked at me like I was an ***** and said she took care of it. Which she didn't- we had to get our cards re-keyed the next morning, and they had no note in the system that we previously asked for a late checkout. It felt completely unprofessional- if the other associate wanted to answer my questions or manage my check in process, she could have easily done it by walking over and having a professional and pleasant conversation with me not by yelling over and cutting off the person who was helping me. It felt like she was annoyed that I was asking about the perks that come with the my Marriott status, not welcoming of a new guest to the hotel. Neither the girl who claimed to have taken care of everything, or the girl checking us in explained anything about perks, and I felt so frustrated (about the rude interaction) when they handed me my keys that I didn't even ask. I walked up to the desk after and explained the situation to a male associate standing there who could not have been more kind, apologetic and welcoming. There is no lounge, so he gave us two drink coupons, and said a buffet breakfast at the restaurant was included instead. They also mentioned that the mini fridge was included, but it only had like 3 small bottles total in it (one water, one soda and one beer) so it was not a very big perk. Overall, Ghent was beautiful and the hotel is in a great location. I would stay here again with a very low bar set for service from the front desk.

The hotel is in a historic building and centrally located in Ghent. It is walkable to all major sightseeing destinations. Our room has a beautiful view of St Nicholas Church, and the square in front. The room was quite stylishly decorated with high ceiling but the. Shower and wash basin are on the upper level. Maybe inconvenient for some people. At least the toilet is on the same level as the entrance. My room was a bit small, only suitable to have two cabin size luggage opened at the same time. Overall it is a lovely hotel and really added to our two days stay in Ghent.

Eight of us in 4 rooms stayed here for our first visit to Ghent. Having read some of the recent reviews I as a bit anxious as to how it would turn out but I can only speak as we found things. First of all, the location is just perfect. Situated on a no-through road the hotel was very quiet and access to all the main sites was brilliant. All of the rooms were very nice and our particular room on the top floor had a great view across to the spires of Ghent. Breakfast was buffet style and although nothing special, it was perfectly adequate. The staff were very friendly and helped when prompted to refill supplies (which was perhaps more frequent than it should have been). We found all of the staff very pleasant and helpful which made our stay all the more pleasant. We came in 2 cars which we parked in the Ramen car park 2-3 minutes walk away. Although quite expensive (around £12 a day) it was significantly cheaper than other car parks close by. All in all we had a lovely trip to Ghent and we will certainly return. When we do, we will be booking Hotel de Flandre again

Very nice hotel in the centre of Gent. Building in classical style with modern elements. Great breakfast buffet with careful service. Check-in was ok, check-in time at 15:00 unfortunately was not complied with. But we have been pleasantly upgraded, so waiting has been worth it. Most beautiful are the rooms with balcony to the indoor courtyard. The restaurant had closed. The drinks in the indoor courtyard were very good, the service in the evening a little slow. You are quickly walking from the hotel in the historic city centre. Gym and pool small but maintained. A great hotel in general.

My wife selected this hotel in Ghent after researching a lot of places. The worst part about this place is finding it. We drove past it because we did not notice the sign. We had initial concerns if we made a bad choice, but after seeing the room and the rest the hotel offered, we were quite pleased. The place is run by a lovely Belgian woman and a Kurdish gentleman. They were both very helpful at all times. Our room was very cozy with a river view. The hotel has a small bar, a sitting area, and a wonderful garden. It also has a spa/gym, but I never checked this out. They don't have parking, but they will assist you in finding it or offering valet service. The breakfast was very good with eggs, salmon, cheese, and so much more. All in all, we are glad we chose this place as my photos should show all it has to offer.

What a beautiful hotel! Rooms were very nice. The restaurant was completely booked online. Even when check-in, it was still asked if it was possible to book a table for 2. This was fortunately possible! And what a nice restaurant (adviser!) Also breakfast next morning was well arranged. Friendly staff and a good location (5 min and you are heart center) We will certainly come back here again!

Meine Frau und ich waren im Rahmen einer Flandern-Rundreise für 4 Tage im Hotel Cathedral zu Gast. Parkmöglichkeiten bestehen in unmittelbarer Nähe zum Hotel (kostenpflichtig). Die Zimmer sind sehr groß, sauber und ruhig. Auch das Badezimmer erfüllte unsere Ansprüche zur Gänze. Das kostenlose W-Lan funktionierte perfekt. Die Lage des Hotel in unmittelbarer Nähe zum Stadtzentrum ist top. Das Frühstücksbuffet lies keine Wünsche offen. Die Freundlichkeit der Mitarbeiterinnen war erstklassig. Meine Frau muss sich glutenfrei ernähren - ihr wurde frisches, glutenfreies Brot aus der Bäckerei serviert. Wir können das Hotel Cathedra sehr empfehlen und würden es auf jeden Fall wieder buchen.
