Hotel Adoma

The beautiful medieval architechture of Ghent & some good places to eat in the city too.

The number of trains passing by the front of the hotel

Relaxed atmosphere

It is very close to Gent Sint Pieters train station and bathroom is ok, I guess.

You get this key, and it's a regular key, and it opens both front door of the hotel and your room, which I don't think amounts to great security. I stayed there for 2 nights and I couldn't really sleep in the morning, on the first day due to constant staff door-smashing after 9 on my floor while cleaning. The second day they were actually testing the fire alarms in the whole hotel from 8 to 10 am, I kinda freaked out because I went to bed at 5 and wanted to sleep a bit before I left. No such luck. I think it's overly pricey in terms of not properly providing for basic logging, but it is probably the cheapest place in Gent, so it's a no brainer... As it is far away from the center, and the trams stop at 11, night cab will cost you extra 10e.

The only positive aspect about this hotel is its location very close to the main train station in Ghent.

The hotel is overpriced and the big room was too dark (one small window, poor lighting) and right opposite the train track with ensuing noise level.

for non car drivers the hotel is adjacent to the main railway station and only 100 metres from a tram stop for journeys into the city centre. The room was small but the bed was comfortable.

The shower was not fixed and therefore you needed to hold it to rinse yourself
