Well located for public transport to the station and to walk into town. Clean and quiet. A bit poky in size, even for a solo traveller. No tea and coffee facilities in the room, but a kettle was promptly provided on request. Very helpful, friendly staff.
We specially enjoyed the bath tube in the room we stayed. The location was also great, as you can connect directly to the shopping district. Staffs were very friendly and helpful.
JAM Hotel Ghent was a wonderful experience throughout. The entire venue is just magical, and the renovated former army barracks are a big architectural success.
The location is excellent, halfway between the St Pieters Station and the city centre (it is a pity that tram T1 is temporarily rerouted for several years, meaning that your best option is to walk (along or through the splendid Citadelpark) or take a Bolt/Uber/Taxi. It is merely a 15-20 minute walk to the station, which is certainly doable.
The frontend staff at check-in was adorable. Totally professional, warm, friendly, and courteous. They provided extensive information about the hotel and its facilities. I loved the decorations, the furniture and all the amenities. I stayed there for 5 days, and I wish I could have stayed longer!
I also loved the rooftop bar ”Neko”, with a cosy interior and a wonderful outdoor terrace (although when I visited it was freezing, so nobody was sitting there). The small pool is also wonderful, but obviously more for cooling off on a hot day, and less for swimming lanes. Finally, I totally enjoyed the excellent breakfast buffet in yet another nicely decorated area, and enjoyed the professional and friendly staff there!
Overall, the room is clean and the receptionists are very helpful.
The only thing that disappointed me was that on the second day when I returned to the room, I found a big dead mosquito with its blood on the floor, and there was also a spot of blood on the sheet next to my pillow, which I am sure that it didn’t exist on the first day when I checked in. I hope the staff can be more attentive to such details when cleaning the room. But overall, I am quite satisfied with the stay and would recommend it.
Sint Niklaas was going thru a process of major road and town works. Confusing one-way systems at play gave me a flat tyre reversing back around the right way and hitting a bunch of stones popping out the ground near the kerb.
I think it would be nice to return once the town face-lift is complete... 🤔
Ibis, I thought you'd be better than that. €20 deposit for a kettle and no milk, coffee, tea, or sugar in your room on arrival.. 😒
The ladies working there were lovely enough to give my gf & I a smile 🥰 they know where to park and at what times to pay the machines at the car parks 🤓
Cheap and fairly cheerful but also stressful to load and unload. 🤕
Location is geared more toward those who intend to take quite a bit of daily intercity train trips like us. It's very, very near the ghent st Peters station. Hence, there is not much night activity or eateries around the area. But it's an easy bus ride toward the town centre thus its not too much of a hassle to travel within the city.
Service at the main desk was professional and friendly. I stayed 4 nights there, and on the last day of my stay, the cleaning lady did not bother to clean the room or take out the trash. I complained about this to the front office lady, and she was apologetic and waived my city tax payment.
Overall, I would still stay there if I need to go on daily intercity train trips as the price is actually quite reasonable. I only ranked the service as 4 stars due to the lapse of cleaning service on the last day.
ผผู้เข้าพักGenerally the cleanliness of lobby floor public areas and room were above average 👍🏻👍🏻
Need to be careful when driving into that expo , ikea and the hotel zone as they located along with each others and shared the same directory board which the indicator bit small you might miss the hotel car park entrance
The front staff he is super friendly and helpful 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I would say the amenities is worth for the price 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
