B&B Huize Clara
This was a really excellent place recommended to us by the Gent
tourist board who arrange bookings for free. It's pretty close to the
center, near the Gravensteen castle.
The owner is a really lovely lady
who has
recently renovated the whole place. Check
out the photo
album on the table by the
bathroom where you can see how she did
the
whole thing herself! She gave us maps,
showed us places to go for
dinner and gave
a huge breakfast. Having not seen a slice
of toast
for weeks, we were eternally grateful!
The rooms are huge,
spacious and airy, complete with bottles of mineral water, books and games to
play. The top floor has 4 beds, and the middle floor has a double.
The large bathroom has a bath, seperate
shower and shelves for each
room to put
their washbag so you don't have to keep
carrying it around
with you.
The hallways have wooden floors so please
take your
shoes off at night to avoid waking
your fellow guests. The bathroom
door has
no lock, so the rule is if it's closed, knock, if it's open then
walk right in.

HI Hostel - Belgium
Draecke - http://www.ghent-hostel.com/
Ghent,
Belgium Draecke - A clean location really close to everything. Six bunks per
room, all equipped with private showers and sinks. You could luck out like I did
and have an entire room of 6 bunks to yourself! Try to hint to the receptionist
that you would appreciate a room with privacy, without paying the extra costs.

Camp Blaarmeersen -
www.gent.be/blaarmeersen
The campsite is located on a
huge campus of Olympic-sized sports facilities, including a bike track, tennis
courts, gymnasium and swimming pool. The campsite is a separate cost from all of
the other activities and, in fact, I do not even know if the recreational stuff
if available to the public. The site is located a mile or two from the city
center, but is easily reached by public transportation. (From tran station, take
Bus 9 & transfer to Bus 39)
