8/10 Very good

Lovely staff, very helpful. Parking available at small charge. Small rooms however clean. Available meals are plus side, only minus is it's at spiral access road that is not marked too clear.
Sylwia, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
Miroslav, 5-night trip

6/10 Good

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.
Jacob, 2-night trip

Hi hotel great location, breakfast excellent. Only room for improvement was the room itself with modern decor like USB plug connections.

Would not recommend

Very dated room. Full of mosquitos, when we first arrived, as the fly screen on the window was broken. Bath was very slippy. Food was mediocre and very expensive.

Ghent Expo 2025

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.

Okay for a stopover

Hotel is in a retail park, feels quite a remote neglected site, next to the Conference Area of town.

Nice hotel, friendly staff and good breakfast

Big room, with king sized bed. Staff was very friendly and breakfast had a decent selection and nice seating area in the centre of the hotel. All in all comfortable stay.

Convenient stay!

Friendly staff and great location near tram station. Only takes 10 minutes to get to main train station, 25-30 mins to get to heart of Ghent. Quiet and safe, good breakfast!

Just OK hotel

out dated hotel. Just enough for a stay and it does where a hotel is made for. Rooms are old but clean. Location is good next to the E17
arjen, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

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.
Brent, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Staff are the best thing about this hotel. they are friendly, attentive and efficient. The Hotel itself is dated, showing sides of neglect (peeling wallpaper in room etc) and just tired. Its on an industrial estate with lovely views of an Ikea
Keith, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Not easy to access the hotel by public transport or by car. The roads to the hotel are not easy to understand even via sat navigators
Oluwakemi, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The rooms are very dated, the sofa which had been made into an extra bed had stains all over it the car park is very much need of some work which you have to pay 18 euros for Getting to the hotel as its on some kind of loop is hard as well we only used it for one night as a base and it did just that

6/10 Good

very dated
Andrew, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The staff super nice and helpful. The train is just a couple of minutes walk away and takes you straight into town. The food and coffee were great. The esthetics of the hotel are on the older side but it was very clean so I did not mind. I think the only negative is the loop driving around to get to the hotel. The signs aren’t the greatest so you may miss it the first time. This is not the hotels fault though so nothing negative really to say about this place.
Jamarys, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Convenient and nice as always

Once again Holiday Inn Gent Expo ensured us the optimal convenience in regards to us attending the FACTS Convention at Flanders Expo ... it's just so nice and convenient, that you don't have to get into the car all weekend after driving all the way from Denmark to Gent .) Only thing missing at our stay was the waffles at the breakfast buffet ...... but guess that had more to do with COVID :)
