    Our trip to Ghent was made really good by staying at Ghent River Hotel. The hotel is extremely convenient, well-appointed, and located in a historic-style building. The staff was very amiable and caring. The property's location is exceptionally nice, close to a Roman Catholic church, restaurants, bars, the historic center of town, and within walking distance of all the main sights. We especially enjoyed the rooftop restaurant for lunch.
