If you are planning to have a trip around Belgium and Holland, Antwerp is a nice city to stay. With this hotel you can guarantee yourself a pleasant and restful stay. If you are with a family you should carefully investigate the charges for additional bed if you need such.

Great location for restaurants, bars and sight-seeing. Large minimalist bedroom, comfortable bed, small grubby bathroom with basic amenities, thin walls, tiny elevator, bedroom garbage left in hallway, basic breakfast. No evening/lunch dining. Some reception staff helpful, others not. House-keeping staff seem to work few hours. Parking in adjacent multi-storey, my sat nav had numerous one-way streets the wrong way round.

The hotel is in great location, just near the beautiful railway station. So it's good if travelling by train. The equippment was modern, room was very clean so there was nothing to complain about. There was no possibility to eat breakfast if you leave early in the morning. Very good quality for money that we've paid.

Great value for money. Situated a few minutes' walk from the rail station and just off the main shopping thoroughfare. Public car park next door. Unlike other reviewers, we found the room spotless. Large flat screen TV, spacious stylish room and huge shower. Helpful reception. Good local pub across the road.
