Ghent River Hotel
Waaistraat 5, Binnenstad, 9000 Ghent, Belgium – Excellent location - show map
The room was very clean and spacious. We had a view of the canal and even though we were on the ground floor it was very quiet at night (the boat tours stopped early). Breakfast had many options and was in a light-filled room on the top floor. We were able to check in early, which was great, and store our luggage after we checked out. The location was easy to get to all the sites but off the beaten path so in a quiet area.
