“Antwerp is full of historic and artistic interest with some good food too, though expensive.”
The hotel was very close to the historic centre but down a quiet side street where there was no traffic. The room was advertised as small but was perfectly adequate. The toilet and shower were in a kind of cupboard so certainly qualified as 'small'. THE breakfast was very good without being too lavish.

Everything’s perfect. The hotel is well located, 20-25 mins walk from the Antwerp Central station, the cultural spots and the shopping area. The owner Erik is friendly and willing to provide information and trip advices. We chose the attic room, and turns out it’s a very good choice. Comfortable, well equipped, clean. Natural light comes from the roof windows in the morning, with a view on the top part of the bell tower of the Cathedral. Breakfast in continental style with fresh bread, boils eggs, fruit salad, yogurt, granola, cheese and salami…etc. Highly recommended!!

Staff were lovely and the location is great, however, my room was very tired looking and not very clean. My bed sheets were stained and the room needed both updating and a deep clean.

“It was great and very enjoyable. Nice to have a one minute walk to the cathedral and city hall.”
The location was perfect for a city trip to Antwerp. A quiet street right near the very centre of town. Breakfast was served by a very nice gentleman. Not extravagant but plenty and enough choice. Eggs were boiled to order and hot whipped milk to go with my coffee. I will go there again.
