Great location, everything can be reached by foot. About 15 minutes from the Ghent main station, easily reachable by public transport. The hotel has some cool amenities like a sauna, gym and swimming pool. The staff were pleasant and helpful. The breakfast could be better. Will recommend it for the very convenient location and good rooms.
Lovely hotel in a fabulous location right in the city centre. Friendly, helpful staff. Nice outdoor bar and a small pool. A little dated now and the aircon was struggling in the recent heatwave but we had a fan in the room which helped.

Stayed 13–14 June 2026 My wife and I had an amazing stay at Novotel Gent. From the moment we arrived, Renata at reception made us feel very welcome. She was friendly, polite, professional, and always smiling. Her warm attitude set the tone for a fantastic stay. Thanks to my ALL membership status, we were fortunate to receive a room upgrade, which was greatly appreciated. The Executive Room was spacious and comfortable, with a lovely view over the city. The only minor downside was that some of the furniture felt a little dated, but this did not affect our overall comfort. The hotel’s location is outstanding, right in the heart of Ghent, making it perfect for exploring the city. If you’re arriving by car, as we did, you may be lucky enough to secure one of the hotel’s limited parking spaces (around 20 spots). Alternatively, the nearby city parking garage was actually cheaper for our stay and only about a 5-minute walk from the hotel. For guests with a lot of luggage, the hotel can make things even easier. Simply contact them in advance with your license plate number, and you’ll be allowed to enter the historic city center to unload directly in front of the hotel. Overall, it was a perfect experience. The staff were excellent, especially Renata, the location couldn’t be better, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We will definitely be back! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 stars.

A new story every day.
Ghent (Gent in Dutch) is a medieval city in Flanders, Belgium, where the Leie and Scheldt rivers meet. It offers canals, a castle and historic facades in a more relaxed setting than crowded Bruges.
More about the city
What to see in Ghent
- Gravensteen: a medieval castle with a moat, in the middle of the city.
- Graslei and Korenlei: rows of historic guild houses on either side of the river.
- Saint Bavo's Cathedral: home to the Ghent Altarpiece by the Van Eyck brothers.
- The Belfry: a medieval bell tower rising above the old town.
When to go
July and August average a high of 24 to 25 degrees. January ranges from 7 to 2 degrees. February and April are the driest months, with 58 millimetres, but winter is grey. From May to September the canal banks are the most pleasant for walking.
Getting there from Turkey
In MBD tours, Ghent is visited on the "Bruges, Ghent and Brussels" day. The Benelux, France and Germany tours run 6 to 7 nights, and they leave from Istanbul, Izmir, Ankara, Adana and Antalya, listing Turkish Airlines and SunExpress. It also appears in the 3 to 4 night Amsterdam tours. Dates and prices are on the tour page.
Who it suits
Visitors who want Belgian history in a short time, and those who like canal walks and architecture. It is not the main stop for shopping or the sea.
Questions people ask
Ghent or Bruges? The programmes put both on the same day. Ghent is less touristy, and Bruges is smaller and busier.
