The signature restaurant, Midtown Grill, serves a menu that includes sizzling steak, with seating inside and on the terrace, a good spot for a romantic dinner or catching up with friends. The hotel sits close to the Ghent Christmas Market. St Michael's Bridge is a two-minute walk away, the Castle of the Counts three minutes, the graffiti street five minutes, the Belfry of Gent six minutes and St Bavo's Cathedral seven minutes.

I had a fantastic stay at the Ghent Marriott. The location is absolutely perfect, right in the heart of everything. The room was impressively clean and spacious, definitely above the European standard. A huge highlight for me was the filtered water station on every floor; it’s such a thoughtful, eco-friendly touch. The AC was also a standout, strong and reliable, which is a rare luxury in Europe! I want to give a special shout-out to Montse, who checked us in. She was incredibly warm, welcoming and provided us with so much useful local information. She truly elevated our experience. I did find the service from one of the other front desk staff members to be quite cold and not very welcoming, which was a sharp contrast to the high standard set by Montse. Despite that, the property itself is excellent and I would highly recommend it.

The location is absolutely fantastic. The rooms were clean and comfortable, with all the modern amenities, which were in working condition. Staff very friendly and helpful. Breakfast delicious and abundant. Definitely worth to be one of the Marriott family! Looking forward to be back!

A few things I really liked: 1) a lot of hotels in Europe lack a nice lobby. This hotel has a large atrium with a bar and lots of places to sit and relax. 2) location is perfect— right in the city center. 3) Breakfast is good. I’m going to say that the scrambled eggs may be the best buffet scrambled eggs I’ve had. I suspect cream and a lot of butter are involved— but they’re great. 4) Bartenders are phenomenal. I found myself stopping by for pre dinner drinks just to hangout with them. So what didn’t I like? The bed. I had a king room. No one is going to convince me that the bed in that room was a king. It was small. I’m not even sure it was a queen. It made sleeping challenging.

Gorgeous room, great location, spotlessly clean, would 100% recommend. The only issue which may be worth looking at is the elevator. There are 2, each in separate places and when we were there one of them wasn't working. We were happy to take the stairs but they led to the street rather than reception. Im not sure if the functioning elevator also had an operating issue or if it was just that so many people were using it, but we waited up to 5 minutes a couple of times for it to come to our floor. Ok for us, but not great if someone has mobility issues. Other than that, a great stay!

We upgraded to canal view prestige which was worth every penny. The room was awesome. Each to walk to everything we wanted to see and do. Easy to walk back to the hotel for a rest or even use the toilet if we needed to. |Complimentary mini bar and water. |Really made our city break enjoyable to go back to our lovely room. |Service was excellent. |Hotel lobby and bar have a good atmosphere. |We had lunch on the Terrace and evening meal which was lovely. Price is on the upper bracket but good food. |We drove to Ghent for UK in our EV. Reserved parking is €55 a day, and charging was a good price at €0.68 per kWh cheaper than UK service stations charging.

Loved our stay here. Location of the hotel and food at the hotel are great. We ordered room service for the kids and they loved it. Grilled cheese, chicken tenders and burger. With the chocolate lava cake. Rooms are small, could have been better. Service is ok. There was a room service delivery fee as well which was odd.

A fantastic stay in the heart of Ghent. The location couldn’t be better — right on the canal and steps from the historic center. The staff were genuinely helpful throughout my visit, and my room was spotless and comfortable. And waking up to sunrise over the canals - priceless! A great choice if you want convenience, charm, and warm service all in one place.

Centrally located in Ghent, and an easy walk to everywhere that you are must likely to go/want to see. Right near the canal, and best the churches and the castle in the opposite direction. The staff was very nice and polite. We got there a little early, but they checked us in and have us a room, which we are grateful for. Free, fruit infused water in the lobby and a large, open sitting area. Price for the room was very reasonable. Two European Queen beds, okay for two people if you don't mind being close. Room quality was fine. Bathroom was clean and modern. Ghent is a beautiful city, and we would definitely stay here if we return.

Where can I eat near Ghent Marriott Hotel?

The hotel's own dining options are a great start: the signature restaurant on the River Lys serves Belgian classics with a modern twist, and Poppi Wine Bar offers wines and casual fare. For a change of scene, the Castle of the Counts is a 3-minute walk away, and the area around it has plenty of cafés and eateries. St Michael's Bridge, 2 minutes away, is a lovely spot to find a bite with a view. You can also join a walking food tour to sample Ghent's specialties, or try the Waffles 'n Beer Workshop for a hands-on taste of local treats.
