    Highly recommend The Boatel, totally exceeded my expectations. Owner/host provided very high level of personalized & thoughtful service, from amazing homemade breakfasts to local sights & restaurant recommends. Boatel is modernized, super clean, a very fun stay! Five-minute walk to city center and to Gent-Dampoort train station.

    Captain Sven runs a tight ship. The boat was spotlessly clean throughout, cabins are a generous size, breakfast was fantastic. Lovely to be so close to the water - you can lean out of a porthole and talk to the passing ducks. And the location is perfect: quiet neighbourhood but just a short walk from the historic centre.

    It was a unique stay. Had the best night's sleep as the bed was so comfortable and the boat a very calm and quiet environment. Gent itself is a peaceful and quiet city thanks to very low car traffic. The breakfast was exceptionell, the place was shipshape, and Sven is a fab host.

    Staying on a boat made for a unique experience. I particularly liked how the ducks came over to say hello every morning when I opened the port holes. Excellent location in a cool neighborhood, close to the centre.

    The concept of staying on a boat is what makes this hotel different- waking up to seeing ducks swimming past your window was lovely. The location is ok- a 10 minute walk from the train station and the city (in either direction). Breakfast was ok- basic continental, but eggs cooked to order. The Captain was friendly & very passionate about his boat hotel… which is a great experience if you’re staying in Ghent for a night!

    The room was comfortable and I enjoyed the idea of a small hotel on a boat. The boat hotel is situated close to Gent city center and it was a perfect base to discover the city for a short stay like mine. Breakfast was very good and rich both with salty and sweet food. Captain Sven takes good care of his guests, definitely recommended!

    Superb visit to Gent and the house boat. It has everything you could want and could be used as a base for travel to other destinations. Warm, well lit and very comfortable furnishings. Incredibly clean and and quality materials which are easy to keep sparkling. We would definitely return for another visit. Very impressed by the James Bond style closing shutters. An amazing find. One we will not forget!
