ibis Gent Centrum Opera

Reviews from others had warned the rooms were really small so we were prepared for this. They are small but comfortable and have everything you need. Bathroom might be too small for some people but was fine for us. Staff were really hard working and helpful throughout. Bar area was nice. Breakfast was great - there were lots of people at the hotel but the buffet was well stocked and there were so many options. The location of the hotel was perfect - a short walk into the city centre but also a few cafes and restaurants on the doorstep. We didn't find we heard noise from outside the hotel at all - we had selected a quiet room which are located at the back. There was noise from other guests in the hall - just opening doors etc, nothing that bothered us. Great location for exploring lovely Gent.

The hotel is ideally located with the No 1 tram stopping right outside and just 5 stops away from the rail station. Most of the attractions are within 10-15 mins walk, including plenty of bars and restaurants. We were allocated a large room (double + single bed), possibly for disabled persons, staying for 5 nights and so this review will reflect that. The room (on the 3rd floor) was fine for our purposes. The bed was comfortable and we had no problems sleeping. The TV was small, but adequate with a large range of international channels. We had no issues with the large bathroom which had a decent shower with good lighting. The breakfast was excellent, with a wide range. Staff were very helpful.

Great location (P4 bus from train station stops right in front of the hotel - it's a 10 minutes ride). To go back to train station you need to take T1/T3 tramway (station is 5 min away from hotel). City center is a 10 minutes walk from hotel. Breakfast is good (nothing fancy, but plenty of food to choose from). The room and the bathroom are small, but it's enough if you are out in the city most of the time. A supermarket and 2-3 good restaurants are close to the hotel (5 minutes walk).

Good location for sightseeing and easy to get to. The tram from the station goes from platform 1 under the Vlaamse overheid building, which is a short walk to your left as you stand outside the station and the journey takes about 18 mins, it stops right outside the hotel, Gent Savaanstraat is the stop you want. We were given the disabled room which was more spacious than the standard rooms, even though we didn’t need the disabled facilities. It was also very quiet being at the rear of the property. Pleasant and comfortable seating area near the bar which was open throughout the day and evening. The staff were very pleasant and friendly.

Great location, in a lively neighborhood with several great restaurants in the street and the tram stop (line nr 1) just in front of the hotel was very convenient. I had a very quiet room and slept very well ( comfy beds).
