Pillows Grand Boutique Hotel Reylof Ghent
Ghent, Belgium
Best overallPillows Grand Boutique Hotel Reylof Ghent suits travellers who want a hotel with character and somewhere to unwind after sightseeing… It lies on Hoogstraat, 500 metres from the historic centre, and is arranged around a historic courtyard garden with a terrace and a large tree that guests remember. Reviews praise the cosy lounges and the fireside bar, the friendly staff and rooms that are spacious and comfortable, with high ceilings, large windows and original artwork. The indoor wellness pool and sauna are a welcome extra, and breakfast comes with several options. There are a few caveats. One guest found the lighting in the rooms very low, so they can feel dark in the evening, and the wellness pool is pleasant but small. Opinions on the bistro differ: one guest enjoyed a light dinner there, while another found lunch average for the price. For couples who value atmosphere and a pool within walking distance of the sights, it is an appealing choice.
Why this position
A 4-star hotel scoring 9.3 from 4,015 reviews: the guest verdict outweighs the star class. Leads the ranking: a higher guest score than #2 (9.3 to 9.2).
ONE TWO FOUR - Hotel & Spa
Ghent, Belgium
Affordable luxuryONE TWO FOUR - Hotel & Spa is aimed at couples who want a city break with time to unwind… The hotel stands on Bagattenstraat, within walking distance of the historic centre, and its spa is the main draw: guests reserve it privately in one-hour slots, with a sauna, a steam room and a hammam, and several call the session the highlight of their stay. Reviews also praise the very comfortable beds, rooms that feel modern, light and high-tech, suites with terraces and young staff who are friendly and helpful. The spa's popularity has a downside, since slots fill up quickly and guests advise booking early. Breakfast is generous, with buffet and à la carte options, but one guest found it rather expensive for what it is. Private parking costs extra, and guests arriving by car asked for clearer directions to it. For couples who want a central base with a private wellness hour, it is a strong fit.
Why this position
A 4-star hotel scoring 9.2 from 1,662 reviews: the guest verdict outweighs the star class. Sits behind #1 on both the score (9.2 to 9.3) and the sample it rests on (1,662 to 4,015 reviews).
Hotel Harmony
Ghent, Belgium
Hotel Harmony suits travellers who want to wake up in the oldest part of Ghent… The family-run hotel occupies two historic buildings on Kraanlei in the Patershol district, 100 metres from Gravensteen castle and a 10-minute walk from St Bavo's Cathedral. Guests talk most about the location and the staff, who are described as friendly, attentive and full of local knowledge. Rooms are called spacious and tastefully decorated in a Flemish style, and some have lovely views over the canal. A heated outdoor pool, free for guests, is a welcome extra after a day of sightseeing. The criticisms are mild. One guest found the black décor a little impersonal, and another felt the breakfast, while good, could be stronger for a hotel of this standard. Private parking is available, but guests who arrived by car considered it costly. For couples who plan to see Ghent on foot, it puts the main sights right on the doorstep.
Why this position
A 4-star hotel scoring 9.2 from 1,350 reviews: the guest verdict outweighs the star class. Level with #2 on the guest score (9.2) and on the reviews behind it.
Hotel Cour Saint Georges by CW Hotel Collection
Ghent, Belgium
Hotel Cour Saint Georges by CW Hotel Collection is for travellers who want to be in the middle of the old town and looked after personally… It sits on Hoogpoort, a few minutes' walk from the Belfry and St Bavo's Cathedral, and several guests mention landmark views from their windows. What reviews return to most is the welcome: a glass of bubbly on arrival, chocolates, complimentary coffee and a handwritten note, with staff members praised by name. Renewed rooms, very comfortable beds and a continental breakfast with local specialities complete the picture. The drawbacks are mostly about space. Some rooms are really small, even if the bathroom feels generous, and guests point to practical details there, such as a missing ledge to keep the shower water in and too little room for toiletries. There is no parking at the hotel, so arriving by car takes some planning. For a city break on foot, it is a warm and well-placed base.
Why this position
A 4-star hotel scoring 9.3 from 250 reviews: the guest verdict outweighs the star class. Scores higher than #3 (9.3 to 9.2), on a smaller body of reviews (250 to 1,350).
Ghent Urbanist Hotel by Harmony
Ghent, Belgium
Ghent Urbanist Hotel by Harmony suits travellers who want comfortable rooms and an easy walk into the old town without sleeping in the thick of it… The hotel sits on Augustijnenkaai, on the northern side of the centre, and guests describe the main sights as only a few minutes away on foot. Reviews keep returning to the rooms: they are called large, clean and well equipped, with stylish interiors and beds that several guests single out. The continental buffet breakfast with local specialities and the friendly, helpful staff earn just as much praise. Complaints are few and small. Because the hotel faces the water, one guest missed mosquito nets on the windows, and another found the in-room tea, coffee and milk on the sparse side. The location also means a short stroll to the busiest squares rather than stepping straight onto them. For couples and families who value space and a good breakfast, it is a dependable choice.
Why this position
Rests on more guest reviews than #4 (1,702 to 250), at a slightly lower score (9.0 to 9.3).
Yalo Urban Boutique Hotel Gent
Ghent, Belgium
Yalo Urban Boutique Hotel Gent suits travellers who want a central, sociable base with good transport links… The hotel stands on Brabantdam in the inner city, with trams on the doorstep and the main sights a short walk away. Guests are most enthusiastic about breakfast, described as a varied and generous spread, and about staff who are energetic, attentive and willing to help. The atrium that brings together reception, restaurant and bar is another favourite, with cocktails and live music, and rooms are called stylish and quiet, with big, comfortable beds. The layout of some rooms divides opinion: the washbasin sits in the bedroom rather than the bathroom, which more than one guest found odd. One guest thought the restaurant too expensive to use for dinner, and another would have liked better coffee at breakfast than the machine provides. For couples and families who want to be in the middle of things, it is a practical, well-run choice.
Why this position
Guests rate it above #5 (9.0 to 9.0) and on more reviews (3,790 to 1,702).
