I had a decent stay at Hotel Cathedral, but there were definitely some ups and downs. The location was pretty convenient as it was a short walk to major attractions, but the street itself isn’t the most charming. My room was spacious and clean, although I didn’t get the upgrade I paid for upon arrival. The staff were friendly, but I wished they could've done more about the mix-up. Overall, it wasn't super fancy, but it didn’t break the bank either.

My room was large and generally clean, but I didn’t receive the upgrade I had hoped for. The high ceilings were nice, but the steep stairs to reach my room weren't ideal post-exploration.

Service

The reception staff were pleasant and fairly helpful, but they couldn’t accommodate my request regarding the room mix-up, which was a bit disappointing.

Breakfast was one of the highlights for me, with a nice selection including fresh pastries and local cheeses. It was a great way to start the day before heading out.

Although the spaces felt a bit utilitarian, they were functional and clean, which made my stay comfortable. I appreciated that there was secure parking available, but it’s best to book in advance.

My stay at Hotel Cathedral Gent Centrum was quite the mixed bag. The location was perfect for exploring the city, just a short walk from downtown, which was a huge plus. The room was spacious and clean, but I did have some issues with noise from the street, which made it hard to sleep. The staff were super friendly and offered great tips, but I felt they could enhance the experience with some additional comfort in the room.

I had a decent stay at the Hotel Cathedral Gent Centrum. The location was fantastic, just a short walk from the main attractions, and the rooms were spacious and clean.

I found the breakfast to be a bit lacking in variety for the price I paid. While the pastries and breads were good, there wasn't much else to choose from, and I skipped it on the second day.

The hotel had a secure parking garage, which I appreciated, especially since parking in the city can be tricky. There were also some inconsistencies with room amenities, like a coffee machine that didn’t work.

My stay at Hotel Cathedral Gent Centrum was quite pleasant. The room was spacious and clean, but the lack of air conditioning made it slightly uncomfortable at times.
