Hotel Gravensteen (€€€)
Nice hotel partly in a very monumental building. The rooms in the new part are good but when possible try to get room number 12 or 14. These give a lovely view on the castle Gravensteen. You get the impression here of really living in Ghent.

Hotel Monasterium PoortAckere (€€€)
This hotel is actually an old convent (the history goes back to the year 1278). It's a haven of peace in the busy city. And it's very charming of course. This hotel is a little less centrally located than the other hotels are.

In the city centre of Ghent , near the Vrijdagsmarkt and on the right bank of the river Leie (you even can reach the hotel by boat).
