The picture does not do the room justice. It it spacious, clean, quiet and elegant. The bed is very comfortable. There is a kettle and coffee machine and within 10 minutes walk is (popular with students) a takeaway that does amazing chips (huge quantities) burgers, satay, vegan burgers and is very good value. Of the restaurants Maxime suggested, the Italian made extremely good food (faultless) but quite expensive and the second one was closed when we got there : {{{ , hence the student take away. Gent is a charming city, buzzing and well worth a visit. You do need eyes in the back of your head to avoid cyclists, trams etc ( cars stop at pedestrian crossings, cyclist don't always- so rude!)
