Great hotel to stay with family.

Another great stay at this hotel for us as a family. When ever we have the opportunity to stay in Belgium we chose Van der Valk for simply great servive we receive. This year on our return to UK from our trip to Europe we chose this hotel again and our experience again was lovely. From check in to the room choice and great breakfast we received an outstanding service.

Industrial buildings were very ugly

Stay was fine but horrible location. Very industrial buildings all around, terrible views in every direction. Ghent was having their annual 10 day music fest and therefor NO bus service to this area…very inconvenient and extra unplanned expense having to use uber and taxis 2-3 times a day.

Everything else was perfect. Great room, a lot of place to put personal belongings in the room. However what bothered me the most is that a cleaning lady entered my room in the morning without knocking, and I was changing:(
