Just returned from two nights at this hotel and I can't fault the place. The hotel is run by a husband and wife couple and they cannot be more helpful. On checking we were given a map and info brochure on Ghent and told about the trams to the main centre although it is only a 20 min walk. The... More

We came in at the Castel at mid-day. Since our room wasn't ready, we asked the desk person (male-owner?) to use the hotel washroom before we get going again, waiting for our room. He indicates me where they are and I proceed. On the way back, I run across a female attendant (wife) and she starts to give me s**t... More

The hotel is 2 minutes walk from Gent-St-Piters station so it was very handy for us and our luggage. I'd booked through booking.com, and from what I remember I was given the option of a room for 2 people, which was either a double bed or 2 single beds - so in the comments box I asked for 2 singles....

I stayed here in May 2010 with my sister for a short break to Belgium from the UK. We chose it mostly for the location to the train station and price. Breakfast was good. I cannot really fault the hotel and all the positives other people have said are true, good sized room, clean, friendly staff. The only bad thing... More

We stayed here one night and has three rooms. Due to a change in the Belgian law it is not allowed to smoke inside public places anymore since July 1st, 2011. Hotel Castel took this event as an opportunity to redecorate the hotel and restaurant completely. Rooms: The rooms are spacious and new. A double bed has the matrasses and... More

Hotel-Brasserie Castel in Gent is a small, but very, very nice hotel. We were 3 friends staying in a family room, which was excellent. The room has a lot of space for 3-4 adults, it's newly modernized and very comfortable. The elevator is actually riding all the way to the 4th floor. The hotel is very clean everywhere and the...

The family room we stayed in was ideal having two bedrooms, bathroom and separate toilet and was good value compared to other accommodation I'd looked at. The hotel is close to the train station and trams stop close by so very convenient for transport in to the centre. May be a bit noisy for some if windows were left open... More

Very friendly staff. Very clean and well-maintained rooms. The Castel is right in front of the train station (sint-pieters) and about 15 minutes walk to the city centre. My room was 67.50 a night + 2.50 city tax - but at 70 euro a night was about 20 euro cheaper than the other hotels I came across. The hotel has... More

Sadly rather noisey and a lot of dust around. Beware of hidden charges not mentioned correctly. No price list or details of hotel in bedroom. Towels are well worn. You can do a lot better for this price.
