Hotels near Blaarmeersen Sports and Recreation Park, Ghent

Everything! Close to the train station and the museums at citadel Park. I walked to the old town and it only took about 20 or 25 minutes. I felt very safe everywhere. They stored my luggage after I checked out, which was wonderful. It was great that they had free water, coffee, and tea in the lobby every day.

Great hotel! Very friendly space, smooth experience from start to finish, great location near the center but away from the busy streets. Very clean, organized, and comfortable rooms

I visited Ghent from 7–9 September and asked ChatGPT to recommend a hotel that would: (a) be right in the city centre and easy to navigate from to visit all the main sights; (b) be reputed for its hospitality, comfort, and service; and (c) help create a truly beautiful memory of my stay. It recommended 1898 The Post—and the choice couldn’t have been better. The hotel is housed in a grand historic building, formerly the Post Office, right in the heart of the city. The Lys River and the Graslei and Korenlei quays (lined with eateries) are directly behind the hotel. In front are the St Nicholas Church, St Bavo’s Cathedral, the Town Hall, and the Belfry—all just a short stroll away. To the left, a lively street is filled with restaurants and cafés. There’s also a taxi stand conveniently located at the riverside entrance. My room was spacious, with a big comfortable bed, a large window overlooking the street, and a loft-style bathroom. (Tip: travellers who find stairs difficult should request a room with bedroom and bathroom on the same level.) I was delighted to find a handwritten welcome card and a small box of pralines waiting for me when I checked in—such a thoughtful touch. Breakfast was served in a beautiful, cosy room, with a spread that was both generous and delicious. The staff throughout were warm, friendly, and attentive, ensuring that my stay was as comfortable as possible. I especially appreciated their care before I even arrived: shortly after my booking, they emailed to ask if I needed any special arrangements, and later followed up to alert me that I was arriving on Car-Free Sunday, providing helpful directions so my driver could drop me close to the hotel. I truly couldn’t have asked for more. Staying at 1898 The Post created a very special memory of my visit to Ghent, and I would certainly choose the same hotel again on a future visit.

The staff was very kind. Breakfast was delicious. Rooms were spacious. Overall everything was great.

Hotel was a welcome quiet spot after a few days in busy Brussels. The location is a little outside the city centre but a really quick walk to the action. Staff was always friendly and helpful and the rooms are clean and comfortable.

Location is perfect, staff are exceptionally friendly and breakfast is amazing!!! We had a room with a terrace and the views were beautiful!
