Gent heeft verschillende goede hotels in het historische stadscentrum, en zoals vaker het geval is komen ze in allerlei kleuren en niveaus. Neem misschien een kijkje op de sites van onderstaande hotels die tijdens vorige workshops door onze deelnemers werden gebruikt, en hopelijk vindt u er iets dat bij u past.
