Van der Valk Hotel Gent
What Guests Say
This is probably one of the best hotels in town. Although it is not located in the centre, it is easily accessible from every part of the city. The room was rationally and elegantly furnished and had a very comfortable king-size bed. The staff is young and well trained — and the idea of having a small store near the reception where you can find both food and basic necessities is pretty nice. But the real highlight is its Spa: well-designed, clean and perfectly organised; if you are lucky enough to use it without anyone around... it becomes simply perfect!

Very modern hotel on the outskirts of Gent. We booked an executive room and it was amazing. Huge room, huge bed and wonderful bathroom. Very nice staff on reception. Breakfast was nice but let down by strange scrambled eggs, horrible fruit purée instead of jam and staff slow to remove dirty plates from our table. Excellent parking in basement. We ate out at the Marriot 3 minutes walk away and very nice. Also at Hong Thong an excellent Thai restaurant about 5 minutes drive away.

We came to Ghent for the Belguim Auto Show, so this hotel was in a good location, very clean, very comfortable extremely polite staff. However if you weren’t to come for the Belguim auto show you would be bored as there is not much around … no pool & no jacuzzi. The restaurant’ Mr Sato’ was the only thing that made this experience one of a kind! Absolutely top tier.

I had an excellent stay at this hotel. The rooms were beautiful and spacious, providing a very comfortable experience. The breakfast was truly impressive, with a wide variety of fresh fruits, numerous types of bread and spreads, and a chef on hand to prepare delicious omelets. The attention to detail and quality of the food made each morning a delight. The hotel staff were friendly and accommodating, adding to the overall positive experience. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for comfort and quality during their stay. It’s an ideal choice for both business and leisure travelers.

A beautiful luxurious hotel with everything you could want. The rooms are huge and well-appointed, the beds are comfortable, with a thick, soft mattress topper. The gym is large and has good facilities. Fancy and delicious buffet breakfast with a chef cooking fresh omelettes or crepes, and a freshly squeezed orange juice machine.

Amazing, helpful, and welcoming staff. We stayed in the suite, and the room was spacious. The bed made us feel like we're sleeping in clouds. It was super comfortable. It almost made us not want to get out of bed. Beautiful big windows and high ceiling. Wonderful choices for breakfast. Super cozy and clean. Great location near highway exit and close to the Gent city center. To make your visit to Gent and stay at this hotel more accessible and enjoyable, you will need to have a car to drive everywhere into Gent from the hotel. However, the hotel parking is safe, and the fee is reasonable. The hotel is pet friendly, and upon arrival, they gave us a welcoming note with treats for our dog. We will definitely stay again if we are in town and we highly recommend staying there for those who want to visit Gent.

The staff was super friendly, especially the lady that helped me out getting into the elevator after I arrived late in the hotel after a performance and I was dragging all my costumes in different bags, she was super nice to me. The hotel feels very luxurious, comfy and warm. Location was great, perfect parking also which was important to me. Got an uber easily and it was a super short drive to the city. Nice bathroom and extra points for a seperate toilet.

I loved the overall look and feel. It is modern, clean, and welcoming, with a brilliant outdoor bar/seating area for a nice drink after a long day of driving. I located quickly just off the main roads. Check-in was smooth, and having stayed in many hotels, I think it's been one of the more memorable hotels to use again. It also has a children's play area just outside reception, which my kids really enjoyed; it also had live chickens!

The hotel was very welcoming, the restaurant ws good, breakfast was perfect, the bedswere good, a tad on the soft side but still very comfy, the location is good, you get great choice of rental bikes at a distance of 50 meters or so. It's very quiet, they have a great fitness-room and the room itself is fully controllable digitally. Would recommend.
