Review: Hotel The Boatel, Gent (Ghent), East Flanders, Belgium - May 2019
Review: Hotel The Boatel, Gent (Ghent), East Flanders, Belgium - May 2019.
I stayed on Hotel the Boatel in Gent's Dampoort in May 2019. The hotel as the name suggests is a converted canal boat which is afloat on Gent's Dampoort canal. The hotel is located on the water adjacent to Voorhoutkaai, which is a 5-7 minute walk from Gent Dampoort railway station.
Upon arrival at the hotel, I was greeted by the friendly and chatty owner 'Sven' who showed me to my room, and also assisted with some heavy luggage. There are some quite steep steps, so this is fairly unsuitable accommodation for people with mobility disabilities. I managed fine, albeit using handrails.
The accommodation cost £245 for 3 nights on a bed and breakfast basis.
The room (or cabin) that I had, Cabin 1, was decorated to a high-spec, boutique style. There are plug sockets near the bed, a double bed, extra bedding in the wardrobe, table, chairs, radiator and a fan. There is no air-conditioning, but the fan was quite effective at keeping me cool, in an unseasonably warm May.
There is ample storage space in a wardrobe, draws and cupboard, there is a flat-screen TV, free wi-fi throughout the boat, and a private compact bathroom with toilet, shower and sink (as well as some strange noises from the pumping system that the bathroom has to use).
Cabin 1 was actually at water level, so when standing at the port hole you are actually beneath the water level up to around waist height. It was quite nice looking out onto the water. There were some ducks around but I didn't see any fish!
Breakfast was a modest cereal and yoghurt buffet and then a variety of breads, cheeses and jams served by Sven, eggs were also available, but not meat. The food, much of which was home-made was delicious. The coffee was memorably excellent. All in all this was a quirky and different kind of place to stay, quality wise it was excellent with a good personal touch by owner Sven. I would certainly consider staying there again in future.
This film features views of the boat, as well as the cabin, stairs, corridor and breakfast room.

A boat ride downtown
Guided Boat Trip in Ghent - Belgium 4K Travel Channel
Our stay in Belgium is coming to an end. To conclude our journey, we take a boat tour of the city. The tourist boats for the round trips by the canals leave in the center. They start at Graslei and Korenlei, the quays at the right and left bank of the Leie. We start our boat tour at the Graslei. The friendly and competent boat guide quickly provides us with some umbrellas, as it is not sure if it will stay dry.
First, we head south to Jakobijnenstraat.
There we make a turn and drive back past the drop-off point, along the Lieve to Prinsenhof and Rabot, the lock at Begijnhoflaan. After that, it goes back to the Graslei again.
Our good-humored boat captain tells all kinds of special features about the architecture of the buildings, like at Graslei. Next to an old granary, we see a small house with a blue balcony, the former customs building.
Next to it is the building of the guild of free skippers. They were called free skippers because they were born in Ghent and therefore did not have to pay taxes. Above the entrance of the building is a portrait of Santa Maria, the ship of Christopher Columbus.
In the further course, the building complex of the old post office appears. On the occasion of the World Exhibition in 1913, one converted the building into the shopping gallery De Post and the luxury hotel 1898 ThePost. A copy of Big Ben in London towers the building complex.
On the bridge pillars of the Sint-Michelsbrug, we see on each site a sculptured relief, one of a woman and one of a man, symbolizing the rivers Leie and Lieve. The confluence of the rivers in the city and the two reliefs represent a love story.
The Sint-Michielskerk and the university are on the right after the bridge.
On the way back at Korenlei, our female boat driver draws our attention to a building with two golden swans on the facade. The swans were the sign that there was a brothel in the building.
Again, we pass Gravensteen Castle and the Prinsenhof. A day before, we already walked along this part of the boat tour. You find the description of this section in our article Walk to the Prinsenhof in Ghent.

Unser Aufenthalt in Belgien neigt sich seinem Ende entgegen. Zum Abschluß machen wir noch eine Bootstour in der Stadt. Die Touristenboote für die Rundfahrten durch die Kanäle der Stadt, legen im Zentrum, an Gras- und Korenlei, den Kais am rechten und linken Ufer der Leie ab.
Wir starten unsere Bootstour an der Graslei. Die freundliche und kompetente Bootsführerin besorgt noch rasch einige Regenschirme, da es nicht sicher ist, ob es trocken bleibt.
Zuerst fahren wir in Richtung Süden bis zur Jakobijnenstraat.
Dort kehren wir um und fahren zurück, an der Anlegestelle vorbei, die Lieve entlang bis zum Prinzenhof und zum Rabot, der Schleuse am Begijnhoflaan. Danach geht es wieder zurück zur Graslei.
Gutgelaunt erzählt die Bootsführerin allerlei Besonderheiten über die Architektur der Gebäude, z.B. am Graslei. Neben einem ehemaligen Kornspeicher fügt sich ein kleines Haus in die Häuserzeile. Es ist das ehemalige Zollgebäude.
Daneben befindet sich das Gebäude der Zunft der freien Schiffer. Freie Schiffer wurden sie genannt, da sie in Gent geboren worden waren und deshalb keine Steuern entrichten mussten.
Über dem Eingang des Gebäudes befindet sich ein Bildnis der Santa Maria, dem Schiff von Christoph Columbus.
Im weiteren Verlauf erscheint der Gebäudekomplex der alten Post. Anlässlich der Weltausstellung 1913 wurde es zu einer Einkaufgalerie De Post und dem Luxushotel 1898 ThePost umgebaut. Überragt wird der Komplex von einer Kopie des Big Bens in London.
An den Brückenpfeilern der der Sint-Michelsbrug sehen wir die Reliefs einer Frau und eines Mannes. Sie symbolisieren die beiden Flüsse Leie und Lieve. Der Zusammenfluss in der Stadt und die beiden Reliefs stellen eine Liebesgeschichte dar.
Auf der rechten Seite schließen nach der Brücke die Sint-Michielskerk und die Universität an.
Bei der Rückfahrt macht uns unsere Bootsführerin an der Korenlei auf ein Gebäude mit zwei goldenen Schwänen an der Fassade aufmerksam. Die Schwäne waren das Zeichen, dass sich in dem Gebäude ein Bordell befand.
Wir passieren wieder die Burg Grafenstein und den Prinzenhof. Diesen Teil der Bootstour sind wir bereits zu Fuß entlang gewandert und haben diesen Abschnitt in unserem Beitrag „Spaziergang zum Prinzenhof in Gent“ beschrieben.

From Ghent to Bruges/Brugge on the Kanaal Gent-Oostende
Cruising from the Ghent to Bruges/ Bruegge on the Kanaal Gent-Oostende in July 2016 with Linssen Grand Study 430 Free Spirit. We started at the Jachthaven Merelbeke in Ghent, a quiet and very friendly yacht club but yet close to the city. In Bruges we stayed at the Jachthaven Flandria, a centrally located friendly marina as well .
