Hotels near Boekenmarkt Ajuinlei, Ghent

the hotel was a total surprise as it was booked for me. The staff are welcoming, nothing too much trouble. The room was spacious, clean, and the bed huge and extremely comfortable. the double size shower was also great, as was having both a nespresso machine and a kettle and frdige in the room. Even the complementary chocolates were a revelation - no pre-packaged mints here. Breakfast buffet was fresh and extensive and not having to checkout until 12 was a very nice feature. The hotel is in a great location in the centre of the old part of the city and was surprisingly quiet for the central location. The restaurant was also amazing - edible works of atrt with incredible flavours. I cannot wait to return.

The room was fine. We needed extra bedding and 2 nice staff came immediately and made the extra bed for us. However! We arrived with a reservation confirmation of 2 adults 1 child. Their confirmation had 2 people therefore the room they had was too small. They did have another room for 3 they said we could have but it would be 30 euros extra. At the time we simply agreed and paid as there was a big queue behind us and the amount was small. Buttons seemed like a con to extract more money from us, it wasn't our mistake as we had confirmation for 3 people at the designated price. It's a shame as I really liked Ghent and will certainly return but there are other hotels to choose from.

We chose Getaway because it allows bicycles in the rooms and we were on a cycling holiday around Flanders. You can't check in before 3pm as the property is locked remotely, which was fine, we found a bar to spend some time :) There were three of us staying in a Deluxe Business Studio, we'd thought one of the beds would be on a mezzanine level, it wasn't. Not sure if we messed up or the photo was a little confusing. It's an old building and windows are set quite high in the room. There was a small kitchenette that we didn't use. Location is great but we felt it was a little over priced. No real complaints though. Lobby is very handsome.

Location quite far from the center , it’s about 25 mins to center by walk , it’s quiet area and no much restaurant or shops near by , we need to walk to center for some meals, room is clean and all staff are nice.

Apartment we booked reminded me of my staying in Japan… Everything has a place and everything in its place. What’s required for 4 persons to sleep and bath are just machined to fit in and anything extra is available on payment… all are neat and clean. But, what stands out in this hotel is the hospitality of the staff… Almost all Staff are trained and tuned to address the customers in a professional way. Here I found a little extra. Attitude, service with smile. Never get irritated even for the silly queries or so. To name a few, Tessa, Innike, Xxxx, Yyyy were all so responsive and supportive to ensure you’re comfortable. So are the kitchen staff- Thai Lady, Philippines Chef and everyone. They not only serve but ensure that those who are still around at closing time, pick up their wants and Shut down. At the bar counter, forget the name, I asked for coffee and she came middle of her lunch and gave Any place or organization gets its name and pride by the staff on the ground and here they are. Keep it up Team. Some areas that could be improved upon. 1. Trash can be kept outside the rooms and house keeping staff can pick it up instead of guests bringing it down as If they litter all the way, it’d be a big mess. 2. For coffee/ tea making, since no house keeping comes around, there has to be a system where guests can pick up Tea, Coffee, Sugar and milk as required with a sense of ownership 3. Breakfast menu and dinner menu could be subtly changed to set the surprise expectations. 4. In the apartment, instructions to operate the Induction stove could help guests to be self starters. 5. Travel help- There could be stickers or posters showing your current location, how to get to important attractions / Places, Bus / train timings etc., Thank you team. Look forward to coming back.

Close to Ghent Railway Station, tram, Flibco and bus stops, about20-30min feet from Ghent's famous attractions. Although the hotel is small, the room is very large, with large glass windows, well-equipped, daily cleaning service, and free glass bottled drinking water (above the small table in the picture). Luggage storage. The most surprising thing is the breakfast (buffet), very diversified and very delicious, cost-effective, the most ideal is to leave some time to taste slowly, breakfast is the most satisfying trip. Overall, very satisfied with the stay experience.

The room is spacious and comfortable, a little far from the city center. I felt that the cleaning was not done very carefully: there was dust in the corners and the cabinets next to the sink. But this is because I have mysophobia, so according to ordinary people’s standards, I should be able to pass! Breakfast is delicious for children, including fruits and cereals. Overall, I loved this stay.

The parking lot is good, the room is very new and clean, the breakfast is a lot of styles, the service is very good
