What guests think

At Ghent Marriott Hotel, travellers consistently praise the unbeatable canal‑side, city‑centre location and welcoming staff, while several note ongoing renovations and occasional service or maintenance hiccups that can affect ambiance, noise levels, and certain room features.

Rooms are generally comfortable and spacious, and canal‑view options are a highlight, though a few feel dated or have design quirks. Many guests applaud the breakfast and bar, but some find breakfast pricey, vegetarian options limited, or service areas crowded or closing early. Parking beneath the hotel is convenient yet costly and tight, and access by car can be tricky due to city restrictions. Overall, expect a prime historic‑meets‑modern base with warm service in the heart of Ghent.

One of the few hotels in Ghent that I saw and it is a lovely one. An interior atrium greets you upon arrival and Starbucks and dining options are in the main area. Breakfast is served in a separate room and there is a canal front terrace for drinks. My room had a pitched ceiling with large oak timbers and floors making it seem very European. Great bed and large screen tv. Gym with treadmills and weights. Walkable to historic sites, grocery shops and restaurants. Very safe feeling for this mature solo traveler. Marriott does it again.

The hotel is undergoing some refurbishment, and I never like it when this isn't made clear at the time of booking. Rooms are fine, but in need of modernization. There are other hotels in Ghent now that offer better facilities with more refinement that do so at a lower cost. I love the location, the staff are great. It's just overpriced for now until the refurb is complete. Hopefully I can then fully recommend it,

Great location, with on-site parking (slightly tight for a low/wide car). A few rough edges in the room but a great view over the river and city centre. The TV didn’t work, I assume broadband problems. Good breakfast, but staff a bit rude.

Call the hotel to get the address to get here if arriving by car. It was impossible to find the road to get to the hotel. And the address on the Internet wont get you on the side road. The address found on the internet. Side alley to go behind or to property. Valet your car with them. Otherwise, the convenience of activities cant be beat. We felt safe. Great experience otherwise.

Prachtige locatie in de stad, op loopafstand van alle hotspots en winkels. Het hotel is prima, ontbijt heerlijk, personeel ontzettend vriendelijk. De parkeergarage is handig maar heel erg krap. Wij hadden een familiekamer met twee kinderen van 8 en 13. De bedden bleken queen size te zijn, dus heel krap. Daarnaast waren de bedden ook heel zacht. We hebben daardoor slecht geslapen. Er was geen oplossing mogelijk behalve een extra kamer boeken en omdat we via Expedia hadden geboekt kon er ook niets aan de kosten worden gedaan. Er zijn kamers die aan elkaar grenzen met een deur ertussen, wij zouden een volgende keer dus twee kamers naast elkaar boeken in plaats van een familiekamer.

The Presidential Suite at this hotel (there’s only one) has the most incredible view from a room I’ve ever had in my life. You can see the entire river from both sides of the suite and it’s breathtaking. My Father and I spent quite a bit of time at the windows just taking in the incredible views. The lobby and dining area is luxurious and very spacious, especially for European standards. If you’re lucky enough to have the man from Cyprus as your bartender in the lobby bar, ask for him to make you and Old Fashioned, one of the best I’ve ever had in my life! When you step out the back of the hotel, you’re literally at the river and the hotel has a designated area for you to enjoy drinks and food waterside. I highly recommend this hotel! It’s only a 15-minute drive from the train station.

When we checked in they were doing maintenance work for the AC, so the carpet in the front of the room was dirty. Because of the maintenance work, heating did not work in the room. When I pay 260Euro per night, I don't expect a room with no heating, or during noisy maintenance work where the hall carpets are full of dust. Furthermore that fan in the bathroom kept falling, which is a safety issue. We had to call room service 3 times to fix the fan, only for it to fall again on the floor 5min later.

The hotel is perfectly located, within steps of all the major attractions in Ghent. The staff is friendly and the rooms are spacious, comfortable and generally clean. I just wish there was not a blood stain on my bed sheet. It was laundered but the stain was still there. They changed the sheet when I asked. They were under renovation and we were informed ahead of time that there may be dust and noise but we did not experience either during our stay.

i loved the quietness at night but still in a central location during the day. The one negative was that the other couple we were travelling with had a Tv in their room that remained unusable throughout their stay despite reporting to reception on day one, apparently maintenance don't work weekends !!! It didn't matter much to our friends and didn't spoil anything. I just think maybe maintenance should be 7 days a week.

When I booked this hotel for a birthday trip for my wife & I, I wasn't warned (at the time) that I had booked for the period of the Ghent Festival. I was also not prewarned tat, I had booked & paid for one of the hotels premium rooms, overlooking the river. I should have appreciated the information that this room, although scenic, was directly over the "Pole Pole" stage where blindingly loud, very bass-beat heavy music would be going on to 2.30 every morning! after the first night admittedly the hotel did offer to move us to what they said, would be a slightly quieter room but no mention was made of refunding the premium that I had already paid. So beware, out of festival period, pleasant hotel, convenient for Old Town. During Festival - pack your ear plugs!

This hotel is lovely and located perfectly for walking about Ghent. The rooms have been newly renovated and our room facing the river was nearly perfect. The beds were comfortable, furnishing nice and the windows opened to the walkway below. I highly recommend this hotel. My only note is the odd choice of room lighting, or lack there of. The bathroom, while styled beautifully there is zero vanity lighting…it is such an odd thing, but one small spot light in the ceiling over your head, and only mood lighting or ambient lighting behind the mirror which makes putting on makeup nearly impossible. Large windows give natural light during the day, but again for style reasons, they have chosen decor style hanging bulbs, which are eye piercing- which we had to unscrew to turn off. The bedside lamps, same issue, they are so low to the table that the shades do nothing for the stark bulbs. I felt the lighting choices were odd, given the perfection of everything else in the room. I would love to stay here again, and maybe next travel with a lighted vanity mirror! The staff were all very kind and helpful. We stayed for 4-nights and we not disappointed!

Loved our room. We splurged for a canal view and stayed in Rm 131. It was a high first floor with great canal views. We adored the staff and management who spent a generous amount of time guiding us on what to do for our 24 hrs I in town. The suggestions were perfect for a couple in their 50’s. We crossed the bridge for drinks at the beautiful 1898 Post Hotel Cobbler bar. Walked 35 min to Bar Bask for an incredible dinner. Stopped by several bars on the way home. Went to the top of the Belfry tower (by way of elevator) to see the city (had to walk back down the stairs). Went inside St Bavos Cathedral. Took a $10 canal tour with the magnificent Alan - the electric boats nearest the back of the Marriott are better than the noisy ones on the opposite side of the canal. Lunch @ Pakhuis was beautiful but just ok food. Absolutely loved the beauty, the people and the kindness of Ghent. My absolute favorite of the 4 cities we visited.

The reception staff was very inefficient. Although several staff members were present, they did not work efficiently and often ignored waiting customers.

We had a fantastic stay in the Ghent Marriott - brilliant staff right from the lady who checked us in early (we thought we would just drop our luggage and come back later). She anticipated our needs - we had been up so early for a 7am flight and early access to our rooms was just what we needed. She checked us into adjoining rooms - just perfect for our family. Unfortunately, I didnt get her name. Alexis was great helping me book restaurants that could deal with my daughter's allergies. The real star of the show, though, was Louisa in the breakfast area. She took such great care of my daughter's allergy requirements and made sure she had a great breakfast every morning. Ghent is a great city to visit and your visit will be enhanced by a stay at the Ghent Marriott - great staff, riverside location, bright airy lobby, great breakfast and lovely light lunchtime bites!!

We went for the room with the canal view and it was great. A lot going on in the canal and the surrounding area in the best part of town. Did not like misinformation from the front desk. The airport went on strike and we had to extend a day. They said it would be at the same price as the Expedia booked price. At checkout the story changed and no they could charge their regular price for the extra night which was a lot more.

Great location, lovely breakfast - staff were amazing, Louisa - I think? Check-in was awful - a large important group were leaving and they were allowed to queue jump to check out. Obviously the reception staff were more interested in them than the normal traveller! Several rooms weren’t ready, even though it was after 4pm. Our sink was blocked and took over 1 hour and 3 conversions with reception to be moved to the room next door! Replied to the hotel email asking for check in feedback and was never contacted by them to discuss this. Not really the service I would expect from a Marriott hotel….
