By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Yes, it is worth booking if you want a highly rated 4-star hotel a short walk from Ghent's old town, at only a little more than our Best Value pick. Budget-minded travellers should look at the extras first, because guests find parking and breakfast fees high.

This official 4-star hotel is our Luxury choice for Ghent. It suits couples and city-break travellers who want quiet nights, attentive staff and easy walks to the historic centre. A spa, gym, pool, restaurant and terrace are among the listed facilities, which adds something for a slower stay.
Skip it if your total budget is tight and you plan to drive or eat breakfast at the hotel every day. Guests say those extras add up. In that case, JAM Ghent, our Budget pick, is worth a look.
Location and getting around
You will find it at Hoogstraat 36, in the Elisabethbegijnhof-Papegaai area. The location score is 9.6, and guests describe the setting as central and quiet, within a short walk of the old town.
Saint Nicholas Church is about 0.5 km away, roughly 6 minutes on foot by straight-line estimate. Saint Bavo's Cathedral is about 0.8 km, around 10 minutes. The Museum of Fine Arts is further, 1.9 km or about 24 minutes, still walkable for most people. Treat these as estimates, not measured routes.
What guests say
Guests give it 9.3 out of 10 across 4,046 reviews. Two themes stand out. One is the location, central yet quiet. The other is the staff, described as friendly, professional, helpful and attentive.
The main criticism concerns value for money on extras. Guests consider the parking and breakfast fees high, though some still find the room rates fair. Breakfast is listed as a buffet.
Price and how it compares
Reference prices seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026, for 2 adults in one room, were €176.30 a night, around €353 for both nights. The sample median was €170.30. These are not live quotes, so check today's price for your own dates.
Our Best Value pick, Yalo Urban Boutique Hotel Gent, was €164.05 a night with a score of 9.0. Our Budget pick, JAM Ghent, was €119.05 a night with 8.7. So this hotel cost about €12 more per night than Yalo for a higher score and a fuller facility list. Against JAM, the gap was about €57 a night.
Remember that parking and breakfast appear to be charged separately, based on guest comments. Add them to your comparison before deciding.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 7 eligible properties in Ghent. No 5-star hotel qualified, so our rule allows a 4-star hotel scoring at least 8.5. At 9.3, this one clears that easily and was joint second on guest score in the sample. A 9.6 location score and over 4,000 reviews support the choice.
