good value and location is marvellous. the place is near ghent downtown. breakfast is available for 20 eur per person. our standard double room had a heating system, a work desk and ironing facilities. moreover, free wifi was handy. we enjoyed our stay here.
TBH, the street was noisy.

Morning meal food was good. Tourist destinations like gravensteen were in front of the hotel.
