ibis budget Gent Centrum Dampoort

Very friendly and helpful staff that always greet you with a smile and try their best to accommodate your needs. The hotel looks very recent and therefore everything has a clean and modern vibe and overall felt very comfortable, from the lounge to the restaurant to the rooms. Location is also great. You don't get a nice view of the city but you're 15min walking distance from the centre and you have a nice quiet street with little traffic. There is also a supermarket and local bakeries and cafes within walking distance if you're not having the hotel breakfast.

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.

We came to Ghent for the weekend with the child and were given a family room with a double bed and an additional single bed, neatly hidden in a closet. It could be unfolded and put away to save space. The room was small but very clean, and the location was close to the train station, with the city center about a 20-minute walk away. The stylish lounge has a bar and a café for breakfast, and you can also buy some food and drinks. I think the best price-quality option for a couple of nights!

I've avoided Ibis hotels for many years after several not great experiences. Only booked this as all other options were far too expensive and I have been very very VERY pleasantly surprised. The whole hotel has a great feel to it, the restaurant is great (fabulous pizza) there are good facilities and it's spotlessly clean. The bed is comfy and the shower good. The room is small (as described though) but well designed. Plenty of snacks etc for sale in reception too. I may have to lift my Ibis boycott based on this stay!

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.
