The Hotel de Flandre is in a very convenient location near the city center. Driving there, however, you'll need GPS - it is tricky to find. There are public parkings nearby, I found the prices very reasonable (25 EUR for Friday afternoon to Sunday noon is not exaggerated). Tram connections are good as well. The hotel looks nice from the... More

Stayed in the new "executive" block across the street from the main hotel. We loved the rooms - spacious for Europe with a flat screen and well appointed bathroom facilities and comfortable beds. We found the rooms to be very quiet despite the metal walkways to the rooms. It was a little bit creepy walking back to the room at... More

Have stayed here once before and re-booked due to price and location. Just a one minute walk into the city centre and the miles of cobbled streets that make up Ghent. This hotel has added a new block which is 70 metres from the main hotel. Upon check in I was informed that the main hotel was full and that... More

I make no bones about the fact that I selected this hotel because of its associations with the elder Johann Strauss (1804-49), founder of the world-famous dynasty of light music composers and conductors. Strauss stayed at this former coaching inn in 1838, during his major European tour with his orchestra, and it's one of the few such establishments still extant.... More

Stayed here for 2 nights. The hotel is handy for the city centre and sightseeing and as a 4-star hotel it was certainly cheaper than some of the other city centre 4-star hotels .... but then it is not as good as those. TV is a bit hit and miss as there's no programme guide. Likewise the central heating. Breakfast... More

we were supposed to stay 2 full nights but due to a 5 1/2 delay from cork ireland to brussels we lost a whole nite not arriving to the hotel until 1:00am. We had booked 2 rooms and called them from the airport to make them aware of the delay and would be a very late check in. All was... More

The first impression is very nice: located in the centre of town, in what probably was an old palace, a nice entrance. The young ladies at the reception are kind and try to be helpful, but their english is limited. This is the nice part, now the room. My room was in the sort of motel-like arrangement that has been...

Stayed 5 nights during the cold February 2013 and really enjoyed it. Nice room although not huge. Warm and very clean. The bathroom was great although the bath towels were a bit small. Good job I am only 178 cm. The minibar was nice but I really could have done with a kettle to make some coffee. Breakfast is a... More
