Hotel ClassEco Gent in Gent

Ever wanted to LARP being in prison? Well for €50 this place is your solution!

Shared toilets (that have no sink in them) and showers, no air conditioning or ventilation in the rooms, the only place in the hotel you can't smoke is the showers so everywhere smells of stale cigarette smoke.

The location is also perfect, on an industrial estate next to a scrap yard, oil refinery and the best part, an automated alarm clock every 45 minutes of freight trains passing by the rooms, so no need to set an alarm, you will be awake at least once every hour.....

The beds do actually have mattresses and a paper thin pillow so that's a plus and the sheets were about as clean as an American civil war field hospital so I have no idea why there are so many negative reviews

Very messsy, full of fleas spiders and 🐁 bed not changed , staff especially the Belgium man receptionist very rude with boss attitude , rude cleaning lady would get in the room when you not there , I would NOT RECOMMEND this hotel not even for 1 night

Better sleep in the car. Rooms looks dirty, not safe to sleep, all the noise is going threw the walls. Toilets and showers are for everyone

Used to be an F1 but has managed to go downhill. The bogs still have the warning sign about the auto cleaner but that hasn't worked for months if not years. The cleaning jets are covered in dust. There is now a waste bin for those who do not understand toilet paper and modern sewage systems so the smell is predictable. Blood stains and cigarette burns in the bedding. But cheap.

The hotel itself is located in shabby industy park with lots of noise by trucks driving in and out next to the windows. Opening your window means you won't get enough sleep while leaving the window closed results in sleeping in what is basically a glorified oven.
After waking up drenched you will be greeted by three showers (of which one does not work, and one that is only cold water), which leaves only one that you'd actually want to use. These showers and toilets as well have an automated cleaning system which leaves all the hairs and stuff you'd rather not find while showering. The floors here are mouldy and the woodwork of the bed (for the room we slept in) was either half rotten or half eaten by some kind of bug.

The good parts are that it's incredibly cheap (€25 per night), that it's located next to a P+R which makes public transport to the city centre easy and the staff is quite nice.

All in all not recommended if your budget is over €30/ night.

There is no kitchen as such, the room for two is actually for one, the location of the hotel is remote from shops and cafes.

I left after one hour. It does not feel safe for a woman!! Dont go there if you are a woman. There are only men, and they look at you as if they have never seen a woman before! The showers and toilet is not in room so you have to get our of room. Too unsafe! Horrible experience!!!! The receptionist was kind and helped me check out. Only plus i can give. Room was small, it looked clean. But left because i felt very unsafe. I travel a lot and never felt so unsafe.
