Guest Ratings & Reviews
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were spacious, comfortable, and impeccably clean, offering a quiet retreat despite some noise from the alleyway. The service was super helpful and friendly, adding a personal touch to my experience. The location was perfect, surrounded by restaurants and shops, making it convenient to explore Antwerp. The dining experience was decent value for money, with a nice selection of options. Overall, a great value for a comfortable stay in a fantastic location.
The hotel is located right in the center of the old town, making it excellent and very central yet on a quiet street. The rooms, though a bit make-shift and tired, have a nice and comfy sofa, perfect for relaxing after a day out exploring. The staff is really nice and helpful, arranging late breakfast at no extra charge, and providing coffee all day. The dining experience offers good variety and is nutritious and tasty. A great option for a comfy stay in a very central but quiet location.
The hotel is situated in an unbeatable location, just a stone's throw away from the Grand Place and the Plantin museum. The service was top-notch with excellent assistance available for boat or restaurant reservations. The location is extremely central but tucked away on a tranquil street, ensuring a peaceful stay. The dining experience offered a variety of food options, including fresh fruit and bread, although the price seemed a touch high for the selection.
