The hotel location is super convenient across the Gent St Pieter station.
A very spacious room, with lots of ways to put away your stuff, a large wardrobe and even in the bathroom were many options.
When i checked in, the room and bathroom was just cleaned and appeared properly clean.
Initially it seemed my room at the front/street side was letting in a lot of light at night, when I found out out there is a shutter that can close all the way down all light was gone, so i did get a good sleep after all.
The room even had a convenient small refrigerator that can actually fit larger bottles, not one of those tiny minibars.
The beds were quite soft, which I liked, thats a personal preference, some disagree on that.
I did not try the breakfast, so cannot comment on that.
When pulling out the keycard when exiting the room it shuts off the lights in the room, also in the hallway the light was off by default, the hallway light sensor did not see me exiting the room I think which made it oddly dark exiting the room at night.
The light switches around the around the room were a guess and some did nothing, the small desk lamp next to the bed did work thankfully.
The hotel street door to the rooms is somewhat oddly located on the other side of the restaurant's terrace, making it so you have to pass past people sitting at the tables to get back inside to your room.

If you are using the train station- the location is just perfect. Also there is a good public transport to the “old town”.
No soundproofing. You can hear everything from outside.

Great location, just across the square from the station.
Nepalese restaurant on site.
Breakfast was a bit basic - but it sufficed.
Lift goes to a mezzanine, it's another 10 steps up to the rooms.

Across the road from the train station
The room was clean
Good wifi
It had a kettle and mini fridge
From the moment you got there you didn’t feel welcomed. The reception was not what I was expecting. Walking to the lift it resembled a hostel not a hotel. It was grubby and scruffy. The lifts only went partially to your room you had to walk up another 10 steps. The carpet had suspicious stains everywhere. Although the room was clean the bed was old and very soft. The water pressure very low. Breakfast was not worth the money you paid. There was only enough scramble eggs for two people. There were at least 10 people that I saw at the time. There was boiled eggs and bacon that was so crisp. Not much else expected for a few slices of bread, a few slices of cheese and ham and pastries. Unfortunately the coffee machine had been broken for 1 week they are hoping to be fixed in the next day or so. We had hot water with coffee in sachets which were disgusting. I would not recommend or stay there again.
