I was generally very happy with my stay at the Hotel orion and nothing antagonised me enough to complain. I would gladly stay here again when visiting Ghent.

I stayed at the hotel Orion in April and was impressed very big spacious room and lovely shower and set in a lovely up market area. The woman on reception who greeted me was warm and helpful also.

The layout of the room was rather odd with an open shower at one end of the room, a sink in the bedroom and a separate toilet at the other side of the room. The separate toilet had a sink but no soap, which was disappointing. The coffee cups provided were tiny......hardly worth the effort. No public transport options were suggested for getting into the city, we were told to walk....options should be offered! The room was also rather dull and dark.

Parking, Tea and Coffee making, shower.

Everything exceeded our expectations. So can't think of anything to complain.

We recently enjoyed a stay at Hotel Orion Gent with our family. The staff was incredibly responsive, promptly answering any questions we had before and during our visit. The hotel's location in the Krijgslaan area offered a peaceful residential setting while remaining close to the city center and Ghent's St. Peter's Railway Station. Trams and buses were readily available, making it easy to explore the heart of Ghent. We enjoyed both tram rides (lines 3 and 4) and walks into town. Our family room on the ground floor comfortably accommodated all four of us. We were delighted to find a well-equipped kitchenette with a hob, fridge, microwave, pans, cutlery, and crockery. This provided the perfect solution for preparing meals and snacks at our convenience. The small dining table and sofas created a comfortable space to share meals and play games. The long side table offered valuable extra surface area, a thoughtful touch in a hotel room. Essential amenities like toiletries, a hairdryer, and a safe were all provided. Hotel Orion Gent caters beautifully to families. Our daughter was particularly charmed by Tombie, the resident parrot. The indoor pool was a guaranteed hit with the kids, and we all appreciated the sauna as a potential relaxation option after exploring Ghent. While we didn't get the chance to use the sauna due to timing, it was a welcome amenity. The breakfast buffet was delicious, offering a wide variety to satisfy both adults and children. The hotel staff truly deserve special recognition. Their kindness and helpfulness went above and beyond. An elderly receptionist, in particular, made us feel incredibly welcome with her sweet nature. She even went the extra mile to find an adapter for us when our own wouldn't work. Her patience and detailed explanations about reaching the city center using trams were invaluable.

Nothing. The pool and the gym were a bit basic but that was all.

I booked the room to be close to 't Kuipke to visit the start of Omloop het Nieuwsblad and I cycled this sportive myself on Sunday. The location was excellent for 't Kuipke.

It is an extremely pretty property with big rooms. We stayed in the room suitable for 3 adults and the hotel staff was kind enough to provide us baby cot as well. The staff is very helpful and the property has ample parking space and is located in a good area - only 15 min from Centrum. Highly recommend this place!

Everyone at the reception is warm and friendly. The breakfast was delicious and the room was very nice with fresh air coming in through the surrounding trees. No stress about parking at all is a plus.

No problems.

A hotel located in an authentic former villa, with nice rooms, an excellent breakfast, free parking space and close to public transport throughout the city of Ghent.

Fantastic location. Tramsporen across the street. Very nice Art Deco style hotel. Friendly and helpful staff.

A beautiful Art Deco property, appropriately furnished in period style. Great room. Lovely owner. Splendid local beer. Next to a tram stop for easy city centre access. 5 minutes to the motorway junction. High quality Italian restaurant just around the corner. Good value for money.

There was a bit of confusion about the use/reservation system of the pool. Just beware you might need to reserve a slot if you want to use the spa. Nothing to do with the hotel but good: the Hotel is in a fancy part of Ghent behind the Sint-Pieters Station, the nearby area is pretty cool but walking to the center might feel a bit far for some (30-40 min) and there isn't that much interesting on the way into the center, so the walk can also start feeling a bit boring. If you don't feel like walking loads I would recommend taking a taxi

the family room is enormous, definitely recommend it if you appreciate staying away at arm's length from your fellow travelers. An easy and cheap taxi ride away from the city center and plenty of parking on site. Everything was great and above our expectations.

Only improvement would have been a bath in the very large rooms we had.

This is a beautiful hotel with excellent facilities and value for money. We have travelled extensively around the world and the staff were fantastic and the most helpful if anywhere we have stayed.

We ordered a Chinese from the takeaway down the road. It was terrible. Don't do that.

Amazing breakfast and hospitality. Absolutely loved the art-deco furnishings and design...so genuinely natural. Incredibly peaceful location....didn't hear any noise from street, cars or fireworks (we were staying on New Year Eve). Can't wait to visit again.

This is a wonderful hotel full of character and friendly helpful staff. Our room was spacious with a decorative high ceiling, large windows and en-suite shower room. It is conveniently positioned for travellers looking for a short stay (private car park on site) with good public transport links to local places. We will return here in the future. Thank you.

The hotel has a beautiful atmosphere, the breakfast was lovely and had many options. The staff were always polite and helpful and overall its a great place to stay with close links to the city centre and other parts of Ghent.

Honest opinion is that everything was provided or available from the staff so cannot find any faults.

Room was clean and large with everything you needed, including a huge very comfortable bed. The buffet breakfast was good, nicely presented with hot and cold on offer, very attentive staff on hand if you needed anything. The pool was small but very warm and getting your own private one hour slot worked well.
