 "A unique place to stay in Ghent, in one of the few cabins on board this floating hotel boat, moored on the river Leie, just 600m/yds from the main railway station." 
 "A moored canal boat refashioned into a seven-room floating hotel." Full review
 "A floating hotel constructed from a converted canal boat! Moored in Portus Ganda, a short walk from the centre of town, its seven cosy rooms (five standard and two luxury) are carefully decorated." 
 "Get a different perspective on Gent by staying aboard this 1953 riverboat, docked on the Leie since Portus Ganda opened." Full review
