ibis budget Gent Centrum Dampoort

Staff friendliness, common area, breakfast and in house resto. The staff goes out of way to make you comfortable and to help you with anything. One of us left a key inside the bag they locked, the staff were kind to help navigate this situation. Location is great next to gent dampoort station and also the flixbus point, would stay again if we visit gent again. We had in house dinner on one night and didnt expect much, but it was fantastic. The vibe was lively and you have many guests chilling down or playing games, which gives a good cosy feel.

All the hotel was very clean and had good service. The bedroom & bathroom were small but very clean and well equipped for a great short stay. The breakfast was excellent - good choice although quite expensive. The small breakfast option was not advertised however and only discovered on day 3. The restaurant had great beer and good pizza. Overall the stand out was the lovely staff - all of my contacts with each member of staff was exceptional. From the restaurant staff to the Reception staff. They were all extremely polite, knowledgeable and spoke fabulous English - only too happy to help.

Room was as required and as expected. Was on the small side however we were only in it for sleeping so didn’t require the space on this trip. Bathroom appeared newly refurbished and to modern standard. The shower and toilet facilities were great. This was the perfect hotel for 1 night in Ghent. They also offered parking at €18 per night which served us well. We were able to use the self check in machine for both in and out therefore did not have to speak to any staff for our stay. This was great for quickness however loose the friendliness of the visit.

Good location, close to a bus station that takes you to the city centre in 5-10 mins. Great amenities for travellers: lounge area with games and working space, restaurant, bar, can buy snacks and other things at the reception, can even rent umbrellas if it gets rainy. Comfortable room, towels and bed linens are changed on request. Very nice staff ready to help you anytime.

It was clean, functional and compact. Breakfast was fine, and the hotel has a nice buzz. Perfect for a night or two. Parking underground, 18€ for one night. Safety first in this hotel. You can only access the floor you are staying at by beeping your keycard in the elevator.
