positive:
Everyone is welcome...
Though most guests note that the hotel is located in the business district and geared toward corporate travellers, families also find the hotel provides good value, noting that the connecting family rooms provide plenty of space, and even the family pet is welcomed warmly by the helpful, professional team at the front desk.
positive:
Great bed and breakfast.
Most guests enjoy a great night's sleep in the comfortable beds, and enjoy waking up to the breakfast buffet, with its wide variety of hot and cold options. Guests who stayed in the summer months enjoyed their morning coffee on the terrace, while most who ordered room service were pleased to find their orders arrived promptly.
positive:
Quiet location.
Many guests describe the hotel's location in the business district as quiet, though convenient to many corporate offices and the Antwerp Expo. Guests who do not mind a 10-minute commute into the city centre and its many attractions note that the tram stops just out front.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Drivers take note...
The parking below the hotel is widely considered expensive for the neighbourhood, particularly as the it is not monitored by CCTV. Yet the garage is often full and the spaces are described as "quite narrow." However, drivers do generally comment that the hotel is easy to access from the ring road.
negative:
Hot summer nights...
Several guests reported ineffective air-conditioning and some also found that the windows do not open for safety reasons.
negative:
Rooms ready for an update...
Though most guests find the rooms comfortable, many also note that the decor is beginning to date, and that the bathrooms, though functional, are not particularly modern. Some guests were turned off by worn towels or carpets, while others noted areas in need of dusting.
