    it's a nice station but always very busy and sometimes not very clean. and since 2009 it's been under renovation which was expected to have ended years ago it can be very annoying and to this day it's still going, it takes like 3 more years to finish each new platform, the first 2 platforms to be renewed started in 2012 and finished around 2015, last time i was there in 2018 platform 8/7 was starting on works assuming it will finish in 2021, they still have 6 more to go which is like 18 more years around 2039, 30 years to renovate the whole thing. I saw stations bigger being renewed in less than 5 years.

    It was under renovation when we visited. It was really confusing. But the renovated part looks much better. Although the old building has these beautiful paintings of Ghent old city all over the ceilings. Overall I found it under-maintained.

    Nice train station with indoor seating, the corridor gets so cold in the winter. Be sure to wrap up warm. There are cycle power stations here too. Looking forward to seeing the updated platforms.

    Gorgeous train station with a nice old classic touch. There are many shops and coffee bars available to have something to drink or something small to eat. Covid measures were all very clear, and everything is well organized.

    Rather small, but with the new platforms it's a bit more high-tech and I love it.

    There is an ongoing renovation as of august 2023. Both the exterior and interior are marvellous. The ceilings of the inside of the station are colourful and worth seeing

    The station doesn’t have proper accessible stairs, elevators or such. I think it could be improved and maintained better. At least they have food options in case you need to take away some food for your travels and it’s well connected with the city center by trams and buses

    10's across the board!! I visited the city today and loved everything I discovered and saw. Had a great dining, shopping and pampering experience whilst there. Will definitely be back!

  • 4/5 Mary-an D. 5 months ago on Google • 22 reviews
    Lots of places to eat or to buy things on the go. Very handy to find the the train tracks. Service and info for people that want to take a train somewhere. Big but easy. Beautiful too!

  • 5/5 awa s. 9 months ago on Google • 13 reviews
    According to our guide I find it Interesting that they have many churches but they don’t go to church 😂😂 and the amount of beer they take😮 also has a history behind it. Very interesting findings

  • 4/5 Marjan D. 2 years ago on Google
    International train station. Lot of place in park for enjoy. When is dark is a little dangerous

  • 5/5 Rahib P. 3 years ago on Google
    Good station. Has everything you need.

  • 3/5 Ennun 1 year ago on Google
    The main building of the station is nice, it has a selection of cafes and such for food and drinks and the building itself has some gorgeous paintings. However as a foreigner coming here, I can't make sense of which platform I'm supposed to go to. The screens only show the train's final destination, the tickets only show the station I'm going to, so it's all extremely confusing. In the last 4 days we've only managed to go where we needed to by asking people around for help. If you're planning on visiting the country, try to find an app that actually shows you all the information you need from each train line...

  • 4/5 Dina S. 1 year ago on Google
    Can not be abble to shate more about this station because when we are there we need to quicly to go to place that we wanna go and also we have ticket pp from berchem so we just run to see where is the place that we have to wait for the trein.

  • 4/5 Kevin L. 2 years ago on Google
    One of the nicest train stations in Belgium. Although filled with the usual bread and other shops, it still speaks of its architectural and historical nature. The extention with the modern touches just adds to the economical and practical value of railways. Always a pleasure passing by and it puts you dead in the center of the city.

  • 3/5 Priscilla A. 1 year ago on Google
    The entry and exit of the station was a little confusing since construction was happening everywhere, but there were signs to inform how to get to a specific platform. Station is pretty far from the city center and you need to take a tram to reach the center.

  • 3/5 Dungeons D. 1 year ago on Google
    Trains don't run on time, are stuck or not well maintenances. Overall a bad experience all due to political corruption in the SNBC. The building is nice though and walking around is fun. Also a safe spot I would say.

  • 4/5 Przemyslaw P. 1 year ago on Google
    Cool. Some renovations. Places for a bicycle stop :)

  • 4/5 Rasheed K. 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful building. Have cafes and shops to grab something while travelling. Platform pathways and stair needs some cleaning though.

  • 3/5 Paula P. 1 year ago on Google
    Train station is okay. Nice ceiling but the “Nachttoilet” aka the night toilet was very disgusting and smelled bad. I felt repulsed to touch the handle and did not even want to take pictures. That is the only down side.

  • 4/5 curtis t. 1 year ago on Google
    Many of the escalators seem to be out of order but it is otherwise easy to navigate and very clean for a train station. There are good food options and a Starbucks. The rest rooms, toilets, are a long distance from the front doors or tracks but it's not a huge place so the walk is not bad. Ubers pick up to the right as you exit the station and tacos pick up to the left and down a set of steps. There's a very nice green space that you walk through as you walk down to the taxi stand. Very Zen area.

    Main Train station of Ghent. Easy access from here to Centrum via tram.

  • 5/5 nathalie v. 2 years ago on Google
    The station is very well located, near the bus and tram to the city. You can have several drinks, there's a Starbucks and food, frozen yogurt, pasta, french fries, smoothies, wok noodles restaurant, sandwiches and more! I'd recommend it for the food and drinks. The only thing I can't find at the station is a plug in the wall to charge my phone, because the building is old. But it's also a beautiful building 👍

  • 5/5 Olga V. 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful station. Great first impression from Gent.

  • 3/5 Jeremie B. 2 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 Sara A. 2 years ago on Google
    Cute and small but nice. The small shop just in the middle has great waffles and hot chocolate... The coffee not so good tho

  • 5/5 R a. 2 years ago on Google
    The station looked like it was under construction. Kind of improvised looking but not dirty. The pannels were working good, no problem with that

  • 5/5 Evelien C. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful ceiling, when visiting, definitely look up! It's a busy station so track changes and delays aren't unheard of but nothing outside the normal amount of Belgian railway problems. A lot of opportunities for food as well and plenty of space to sit if you have to wait for a while.

  • 5/5 Lena F. 3 years ago on Google
    Lovely station, can be crowded during the more peak-y hours (between 9am and 12am, and between 4pm and 7pm), the station is still under construction so expect a lot of blocked passages and construction stairs. If you ever get there, do visit the main hall, it has one of the older XL displays which gives a great atmosphere to Gent St Pieters.

  • 4/5 Dasha P. 3 years ago on Google
    Good station. Beautiful building, quite effective management. Everything is good except Gent Taxi, staying at Kiss and Ride place there. The taxis are not recommended. Taxi drivers are not ecologicaly and culturally friendly.

  • 3/5 Louis 1 year ago on Google
    It's improving But guys, 4th busiest train station in Belgium. No ATM machine. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ Are we actually trying in Belgium?

  • 5/5 الأستاذ �. 1 year ago on Google
    I forgot my bag on the train. The friendly staff at the ticket office called the conductor of the train, and only two hours later they gave me my bag again. Very professional and helpful. A big thank you!

  • 4/5 J G. 1 year ago on Google
    Under construction at the moment as part of remodelling but when completed, will be a lovely modern station.

  • 4/5 Alain C. 1 year ago on Google
    Very interesting neo-roman/byzantine architecture and paintings. It really responds to the counts castle. Maybe doesn't worth a big detour, but definitely a stop if you're coming by train.

  • 4/5 Aggie W. 1 year ago on Google
    Cute little train station with beautiful ceilings. It fells going back to the old times.

  • 5/5 MOHAN K. 1 year ago on Google
    Gent st pieters is the train station which is bit outside the centre of the city , in front has the modern art statue, which looks nice , bus and tram are too frequent to the city centre . One day trip at gent is fantastic. Which is middle of Brussels and Brugge .

    It is the central station of GENT SINT PITERS. you have the interconnecting trains to the cities of belgium on platforms 1 to 12 ( perron in French , sporon in Dutch) . It also has tram and bus station for local public transport. Which you can acess via LIZIN APP. It has waffle kiosk with relay store and an Italian place to eat. It is one of the oldest station in Europe.

    This review is to give to Femke, the sweet girl working at Ghent station. She welcomed me with a cute smile when I asked her the information about traveling in the city. More than that she was even so kind and friendly to give me recommendations about her favorite places to visit, to eat or drink around so I could have the most local experiences. Femke and kind beautiful people in Ghent has made my travel there truthfly special ❤️ Thank you!

  • 4/5 Yolanda H. 1 year ago on Google
    Easy to get tickets, easy to find platform. Station was clean and felt safe. What more can you ask from a railway station. The negative is that I was jumble to buy tram tickets fom the machines to get into the centre or to return, but that does not detract from the station!

    (Translated by Google) The station has a very particular architecture, with a tower with a clock that I have not seen anywhere else since it is completely circular.

(Original) La estación tiene una arquitectura bastante particular, con una torre con un reloj que no he visto en ningun otro lugar ya que es completamente circular. Es muy curioso todo el edificio.
