Very Good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
Great location, beautiful interior and comfortable rooms but the real highlight was the incredible service from Johan. Amazing welcomer, restaurant and bar recommender, fashionista all done with warmth and a smile. This guy is the life of soul of this very unique hotel. Any thing that we needed for our stay he arranged, including giving us the one room with a private sauna that the hotel has. This is the only place that I will stay when I return to Antwerp.
We loved this hotel. The staff was very attentive and the room was well done. Comfortable bed and high end linens. The Free happy hour every day was a bonus!!
Clean, comfortable, friendly, modern hotel in a very central location with good value breakfast. In the late afternoon/early evening they have what they call an "Apertivo" 3 hours when you can help yourself to drinks and nibbles on the house which is a nice touch. Will definitely use this hotel on my futureAntwerp visits.

Liked: Staff & service, amenities
Loved - location was excellent, happy hour in lobby is a great touch, lovely staff
Could be better - lack of lighting in room, rooms were cramped with limited storage options, shower room had no ventilation
Amazing location in Antwerp with easy walkable access to the old town and Christmas markets.
Our room had a balcony and gas log fire which offered great ambience and quickly warmed the room.
Some small cosmetic issues but overall a very pleasant stay and an enjoyable free drinks and nibbles time each evening.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The room is a bit run down. The bathroom is in terrible crumby condition. The fireplace did not work. Staff fixed it though. Ran out of white wine at 5pm during a 4 hour happy hour and. O one was there. The breakfast staff were amazing and friendly though. Also the balcony door handle fell off.
Had difficulties checking in. Arrived at 10pm to find the front desk deserted.
We waited 10 minutes in the lobby, even ringing the bell and checking behind in the staff room. We decided to head out and come back later to try again.
On our return the front door was locked and we were stuck out in the rain. We rang the doorbell but no response. We eventually figured out how to call the hotel, while still out in the rain.
Front desk finally came out to answer the phone and saw us. She was apologetic and said that the front doorbell doesn't work. Could not provide an answer why nobody was around when we first arrived.
Great and helpful staff, room was clean. The only issue was with parking. That the hotel doesn't have any deal with parking garages so the guest that pays almost 250 euros a night would get a reduced price for parking. Would be nice to have that for sure.
Hotel was nicely positioned and friendly staff. Unfortunately the air conditioning is not yet operational, of which we were aware, but the rooms, even with a fan, were overly warm.
Really nice touch is the free aperitives late afternoon.
