Over the past few years, Marriott has become one of our favorite hotels to stay in. The Marriott Ghent property absolutely does not disappoint. The hotel is centrally located on the bank of the main river so it is easy to explore the city and cut back to the hotel throughout the day for breaks or whatnot. The river is... More

I don't know how you could find a better location than this in the historic center of Ghent. We took a taxi from the train station and were deposited at the unassuming entrace on Drabstraat. But when you walk out the door on the opposite side of the hotel and onto the Graslei your mouth drops open at the sight... More

We are Marriott people and have stayed in their hotels all over the world. Without a doubt, this was one of the nicest stays we've ever enjoyed. First, the staff couldn't have been more professional, friendly and helpful. Second, the location is perfectly situated in the center of the historic district and on the canal. It is a beautiful site.... More

Nice hotel next to one of the main canals in Ghent. Very central, close to the lovely boutique designer shops and cafes, bars and restaurants. Nice room with twin beds, everything clean and well presented. Large open atrium where you can have snacks and drinks. Nice restaurant with windows overlooking the canal so you can watch the boats go up... More

Normally when we travel abroad, we like to stay at small, local hotels. So, this would seem like an odd choice, but was actually perfect. We had just arrived from the states - tired, jet lagged and trying to get acclimated in a country where we don't know the language. This Marriott is in an old building on the main... More

Amazing location. There are 2 entrances to the hotel, street-side and canal side. Canal side is extraordinary. Staff was friendly and accommodating. We had 2 rooms which were both comfortable and quiet and ready upon arrival prior to check-in time. Hot water kettles were available in the room. Room service breakfast was inferior. Omelette was overcooked and over-fried. Very disappointing. More

We stayed here for two separate nights, on our way to and from a skiing holiday in Austria, with our then 14 month old daughter. The hotel's location is fantastic - perfect for us as we only had a few hours to explore as we just stayed for a night at a time. The staff, both in the hotel and... More

We love Marriott hotels and this one doesn't disappoint! The staff was most helpful and friendly. Lots of suggestions for us about places to dine and also made dinner reservations for us at the Belga Queen across the canal. Everything we wanted to see was within close walking distance, and the view from the hotel is also the best. Right... More
