The soundproofing is very bad, since the keys are physical and the doors slam shut automatically, the place is very loud. It’s not for light sleepers. And wifi signal is very poor and keeps shutting off. I don’t recommend

A nice stay, but a few items to address.
This was a nice hotel in the center of Ghent. Everything in the area was walkable (restaurants, attractions, convenience, etc.). I loved Ghent. My trip was during August so it was the high season for tourists. I would love to come back at a less busy time. The hotel was fine (clean, safe, etc.). The only real issue were the sink and shower drains. It took several minutes for them to drain. When showering you were basically standing in several inches of water. Disgusting! Same for the sink. The faucet couldn't be on for more than 15 second without the sink filling up with water. This place seriously needs to snake its drainage pipes.

Centrally located hotel, great for getting around Ghent. Hotel is a big dated. Bathroom was a bit gross - grout was dirty & moldy, plumbing didn’t drain well and could smell sewer gas. Towels had an odd smell to them. Could’ve just been my room. Fine for a young guy, but I wouldn’t have been super thrilled if I was on holiday with a partner or something. Otherwise, room was spacious. Weird toilet and shower layouts though (in seperate rooms). Location was the best part of the hotel.

Emplacement parfait au centre ; piscine extérieure (non chauffée mais agréable avec barrières de sécurité rénovées) ; petit-déjeuner buffet super complet (mention spéciale au chef du staff petit-déjeuner adorable !). Les chambres sont un peu fatiguées et pourraient bénéficier d'un petit rafraîchissement mais elles restent très confortables et agréables. Le personnel est extrêmement accuueillant et compétent !

Good location and value, but service not so good
This hotel was disappointing in a number of ways. The location is excellent, the value reasonable, and the staff friendly. and they tried to be helpful. But the condition of the room was less good than we expected. There was masking tape around one of the doors where it has recently been painted. Some of the furniture was quite faded, and of poor quality. And our room wasn't cleaned one of the two days we were there. The bed was made, but the towels weren't changed, the floor wasn't hoovered, and the tea/coffee wasn't refilled. It was fine, but I was suprised by these small failings.

Intruder and unprofessional staff
I stayed 4 nights and on 3rd night I had an intruder enter my room at 8.45am. I immediately reported it to reception (Weil) was extremely unpleasant and dismissive, told me it was housekeeping without checking or why they would come to my room so early, then hung up on me. I called back to ask his name and said I wanted to file a complaint about the situation and against his attitude, he told me he never gets in trouble and to stop disturbing him from doing his job - who knew helping a guest deal with a situation was not in his job duties?? I finally got hold of the duty manager , Rodolfo at 11.30pm (this is how poorly staffed they are), he was nice enough to apologise but made excuses that he was on night shift and had to come in due to staff calling in sick, he had already done another night shift and had a family, sleep and admin he hadn't checked emails blabla (sounds like a Novotel problem not mine) and he would follow up with Weil and housekeeping then next morning and leave me with a report. I insisted Weil needed to apologise (he would be on morning shift when I checked out), Rodolfo agreed. Next morning I check out, it is Weil, he looks at me blankly when I asked for Rodofos report, I gave him my room number so he knew who I was, and he said Rodolfo didn't leave anything for me, so I asked for his apology, he said for what and walked away. Another guest was behind me and he went to serve her instead, ignoring me again. I have never had such shocking service!

Nice hotel in the city center
The hotel has a perfect location for me. Its a 20 mins walk from the FLIX bus station. Its situated close to the center of Ghent. In front of the hotel are St Nicholas church, the Belfry of Ghent, St Bavos Cathedral. It is also close to a lot of restaurants and the canals. Eventhough the hotel is in the centrum area, its pretty quiet at night. The hotel staff are very welcoming. They allowed us to store our belongings before we checked in (came early than usual). The room we got is in the 4th floor (top floor), 1 queen bed and a sofa. Room is very spacious, rhey have a separate toilet and bath, which I find convenient. The only thing i can comment in the bathroom is that the bath tub is too deep. It would be hard for old guests to come in and out of the shower. They also provided coffee, tea, cola, beer and water in the room. Bed is very comfortable and the linens and pillow are of quality. Overall, my stay here is great. I wouldn't mind booking it again should I visit Ghent in my next travel.
