Antoine Smetryns Bed and Breakfast, Ghent

Advantages: clean, tidy, good service and price
Disadvantages: need a taxi to get into town

...clean the rooms very well and leave you new clean towels if required. The room was a nice size and the window opened. The tv had English channels on it and you could pay for films if you wanted. Our room had a table and two chairs as well as the dressing table area with another chair. COST +++++ A basic twin/double room is around 90 euros a night, which is around £60 which equates to £30 per person which is very reasonable for bed and breakfast. Prices vary depending on how far in advance you book and whether you book a basic or more advanced room. Booking can be made by telephone or online.

There is plenty of juice on offer... Read review

...of the Home page is a form that asks for your preferred destination city or country, your intended date of arrival and planned duration of stay. Beside this you can also select from a map, nearness to an address or place of interest or on an itinerary. My selection of Paris presented me a map of Paris where I could click north, south, east or west for the hotels in each quarter. Clicking on east presented eleven hotels, from which we chose, for no particular reason other than that it offered parking, the Ibis Paris Bastille Faubourg St Antoine on Rue Trousseau. This is the 11th district, the famous Marais district of Paris and, as you will gather from the name, not far from La Place de la Bastille. It turns out that Rue Trousseau is a road off of Rue Faubourg St Antoine, which explains the rest of the name. The hotels with availability appear... Read review
