ibis budget Gent Centrum Dampoort

For a place to rest your head and have a quick breakfast for max 3-4 nights, I think this is perfect. The breakfast was good. They had a nice range of warm (eggs, bacon, baked beans) and cold options (cold cuts, tomatoes, cucumber, muesli, yogurt, milk), but the options are quite small and it's the same everyday, so that's why if you stay for a short time, it's ok but for longer, you might get bored. The reception area also has a bar and playroom area. Lots of people were mingling there in the evening and it had nice vibes. Staff are nice, helpful and excellent. Room is small, quiet and clean. No closet. Just hangers, attached to the wall. Bed was nice and comfortable. Bathroom was clean. The AC could be adjusted (I read somewhere, it couldn't be turned off for some, but that wasn't the case for me). Location is great, just 5 mins from Dammport train station and about 20 mins walk to the center to see all the Cathedrals and sights (Gravensteen, etc). Again, if you stay for a short period and just need a place to rest your head, price-quality ratio is great. However, if you stay longer and want a range of options, may not be best for you.

The Hotel had everything needed for an overnight or short stay. There was a bar, food for those who wanted it and breakfast. The walk into the centre was about 15/20 minutes away and easy to find. Rooms were basic but you do not need luxuries for an overnight stay. Breakfast options were good ie; continental or English with fruit, cerials and pastries.

accommodated in new building which was very nice, visible its new, everything super nicely clean, nice buffet for breakfast, great area, close to train station or to the center. reception staff very friendly. no sounds from outside neither from next rooms. AC, wifi working perfectly

Great location close to town (quick cycle or walking distance) Outside the low emission zone, and we could park our campervan on the road at parking meter or vehicles under 2.1m high could park in the multi story carpark at the hotel. Friendly staff and onsite gym, bar and table tennis table were a bonus.

It wasn't obvious to us before traveling to the hotel that the location was quite central to the center of Ghent, it was all easily within walking distance and we did not need to use public transportation. The small room was well designed, the small partition between the beds was good in prevent reading light from glaring over to the other bed & the narrow rod & shelf hanging system for the clothing was very efficient. The plastic stools also doubled nicely as side tables.
