The host Bart is friendly and helps with food&drinks recommendations, as well as touristic places to visit. You may also scan the QR codes in your room to get some suggestions for things to do in Gent. The place is clean, the bed was comfortable and the kitchen had lots of things in case you would like some tea or coffee or eat there. I would definitely think of staying here again if I am to revisit Gent in the future.

    Wonderful views of beautiful architecture overlooking the river with streams of people and boats going by below. Very clean and comfortable corner room with opening windows on two sides. Helpful and friendly staff. Amazing breakfast was waiting at our chosen time. They arranged a taxi for our departure. All in all a delightful surprise. Highly recommended.

    The room was very clean and spacious. We had a view of the canal and even though we were on the ground floor it was very quiet at night (the boat tours stopped early). Breakfast had many options and was in a light-filled room on the top floor. We were able to check in early, which was great, and store our luggage after we checked out. The location was easy to get to all the sites but off the beaten path so in a quiet area.

    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.

    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!
