The hotel is ideally located and nestled at the Ghent Expo for the Flanders Expo competition. We had showjumping horses in competition and wanted a hotel for family and friends.

The place was perfect for the price. The public transportation (tram) was close (200 m). Easy accession by car, close to the highway. Morning drilling in the building was little annoying. Hallways were worn out, but all was functional.

Liked: Room comfort
The hotel is okay, but I had black mold in the bathroom, low water pressure in the shower so could as we’ll have showered in the sink and the gym was closed even though it was advertised. The breakfast was very pricy for what you got, 20€ for what you’d get for 8€ at other places. I could stay here again as it is still so close to the work site and the beds were nice and there were no bedbugs but I wouldn’t recommend Holiday Inn if you have other alternatives.

Reception was great very happy until we saw the very tired room although the bed was quite comfortable, the aircon didn’t work. The Expo had an all day and night rave or drum and base event and it lasted until 4.30 in the morning. Restaurant food and service was poor service had to be requested. The best thing about the stay was the breakfasts which were bloody good. Access to the tram was very convenient.
