Rachael Families - Confirmed reviews ALL

We were greeted straight away by a lovely friendly lady on reception and after a very long journey it was very welcoming. We were given a room upgrade but unfortunately as the sleeping arrangements couldn't be accommodated in this room we had to ask to be moved to our original booking. Our room was average for the price paid and the facilities were s little worn but on the whole it was fine. We overlooked a very busy alley that went alonside the hotel and the noise at night did impact our stay but wasn't a deal breaker. One thing that did stand out though, very simple but also quite unusual in our experience, was that the heating controls in the room were locally operated and they actually worked. The bed I understand was very comfortable. The sofa bed, a little less so but was adequate. The bathroom was amazing and the shower was hot and with good water pressure. We enjoyed our breakfast immensely as food was plentiful and varied. The only thing missing was yoghurts. The parking was full when we booked so we had to use the public one 10mins walk away. This was not a problem but just one thing to note was that wheely luggage and the cobbled streets were not greatly compatible. The price was also only 4€ fifference too.

Dear Rachael, We would like to thank you for this review about your recent experience in our hotel. We are delighted that you found our reception staff welcoming and our heating controls in the rooms to be effective and user-friendly. It's also pleasing to hear that the comfort of the bed, the quality of the bathroom, and the shower met your expectations. Your appreciation for our varied and plentiful breakfast offerings is much appreciated. However, we regret that our parking facilities were full during your stay and that you experienced some inconvenience with your luggage on the cobbled streets. Additionally, we apologize for the absence of yoghurts during breakfast and the unusual smell in the reception area. Please know that we always strive to provide the most comfortable and enjoyable experience for our guests. Nonetheless, we are thrilled that you enjoyed the room upgrade offered and the overall cleanliness of your room. Our location's proximity to the city's attractions is something we are proud of, and we are glad that this contributed to the enjoyment of your stay in Gent. We hope to welcome you and your family back to our hotel in the near future. Kind regards, Veronique Van Hulle, General Manager

We stayed here recently and I wouldn’t come again. There is a strange smell in lobby that comes and goes whole place looks rather tired and the bed in our room was so close to the wall you had to go in sideways to enter the bed. Tea was never refilled staff were friendly enough.

Dear Marguerite, We would like to thank you for this review about your recent experience in our hotel. We are pleased that you appreciated the location of our hotel, conveniently situated in the city centre of Gent, just a short walk from St Bavo’s Cathedral. However, we regret to hear about the issues you encountered during your stay. We apologize for the unusual smell you noticed in the lobby and understand how important a welcoming atmosphere is to our guests. We are also sorry to learn that the bed positioning in your room was not to your satisfaction and that the tea service was not adequately replenished. Concerning the general appearance of the hotel, we acknowledge that while our rooms are in good condition, some aspects of our hotel may reflect an antiquated charm that we are continually working to improve, without losing the historical essence that many guests enjoy. We value your comfort and satisfaction and will take your comments into consideration as we strive to enhance our guest experience. We would also like to highlight the various amenities and services we offer, such as our fitness area with new machines, a relaxing outdoor unheated swimming pool, and a selection of dining options at our Gourmet Bar. We hope you had the opportunity to enjoy these during your stay. We hope to welcome you and your family back to our hotel in the near future. Kind regards, Veronique Van Hulle, General Manager

Sherpa47252156166 TripAdvisor review

Went to Belgium for a family wedding and stayed at the Novatel Ghent for 3 nights, location is fantastic close to all the sites to see, staff were pleasant and very accommodating to us . Stayed in the executive suites which was perfect as it had interconnecting doors so as a family we were all able to be together. The view from our room was amazing beds were comfortable, clean, plenty of towels, lovely smelling shampoo and conditioner! We had breakfast on our final morning which was lovely. Lots of choice available from yoghurt and fresh fruit to cook breakfast, pastries and croissants. Perfect for everybody. yes the hotel is a bit dated and battered, but I am aware they are having a refit at the end of the year. Disabled friendly hotel, but unfortunately the surrounding streets are full of cobbles.

Dear Guest, Thanks for your review about our hotel. We are delighted that you appreciated our convenient parking facilities, the attentive service from our team, and the comfort and cleanliness of our executive suites with interconnecting doors, ensuring you and your family could stay close together. It is wonderful to hear that the view from your room contributed to a memorable experience, and that our range of amenities such as plush towels and aromatic toiletries added to your satisfaction. However, we acknowledge your observations about the hotel's current condition. Our commitment to providing the best possible environment for our guests is unwavering, and we are excited about the upcoming refurbishment planned for the end of the year. Regarding the cobblestone streets surrounding our hotel, while they are part of Ghent’s historic charm, we understand that they can present challenges for disabled access. Finally, we are pleased that the concluding breakfast of your stay was a highlight, offering a variety of choices to suit all tastes, from yoghurts and fresh fruit to cooked breakfast items and pastries. The location of our hotel, nestled within the heart of Ghent and a stone's throw from stunning historical sites, is something we are very proud of, and we are happy it contributed positively to your visit. We are hoping to welcome you back in the future. All the best. Veronique Van Hulle, General Manager
