Nice hotel, but check in process terrible.

Great hotel however the check in process was one of the worst experiences I have ever had whilst travelling. We arrived at 2pm to pick our bags up and wait in the lobby for check in at 3. We was then told room was not ready but to take a seat and they would be over to let us know when the room was ready. Little to our knowledge this was the case for most rooms and a queue that stretched into the street had formed. I rejoined the queue at 4pm however people who had also been waited jumped the queue. Staff had zero idea how to handle a busy situation. Checkout at 12pm I will assume will be the issue as it leaves house keeping only 3 hours to clean all rooms. Thankfully at 16:15 we finally got our key and we could go to our room which left little time to get ready as we had plans.

Amazing staff & grounds. Centrally located, spotlessly clean. I would mention, though, that the street facing suites can be noisy during all hours of the night, but, I would definately stay here again. Did I mention gow great the staff is?

Incredible service from Johan

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.

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.

Stay in Antwerp

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.

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.

Front desk staff was MIA

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.
