Four trains an hour run to Brugge-Centraal. From there you can take a train to St Pietersstation. You can also take the very slow stopping train from the airport that leaves once an hour for St Pietersstation. British visitors can take Eurostar to Brussels, then a local train to Ghent. If you arrive by train it is better to get off at St Pietersstation than at Gent-Dampoort Station. There are enough taxis at the station to take you and your luggage to the hotel or you can travel more cheaply by tram 1, 10, 11, 12, 13, 21, 22 or 40.
