“This budget option stands out because of its access to Ghent; it's an easy jump from the main roads and a manageable walk to the historic center. I think the staff's local knowledge and helpfulness elevate the experience, especially when navigating the city. For a shorter stay, this could be a smart base given the overall value.”
