JAM Ghent

10/10 Excellent

"We absolutely loved our stay here. We had an Ultra room, which was great for our family of four. The beds were super comfortable and the Aircon was great - we were there during a heatwave, but but the room temp was perfect and we slept great. The rooftop pool and the views over the city were amazing. Breakfast was delicious. Overall, it's a really cool space and we'd definitely recommend it as a base for exploring Ghent and beyond."
