Yes above expectations

Excellent hotel, helpful and friendly staff, and close to the charming restaurants and shops nearby. Beautiful paintings and thoughtful finishes throughout!

The hotel was in a great area with lots of options for bars (cafe hopper, patine) and dinning (den artiste brasserie was good). It is around a 20 min walk from the main square (grote market/de kathedraal) and theatreplein (where there is a good market and you can get fresh fruit/vegetables, fresh waffles, croquettes/cava amongst other things). Hotel wasn’t the cleanest (sheets and towels were found stained), bugs in room, safety deposit box and room phone didn’t work - when asked for working ones hotel staff said they would switch them right away and then never came to do so (safety deposit box is important when you are a tourist carrying money and passports). Hotel staff we dealt with wasn’t the most helpful, although nice but when asked for restaurant/bar recommendations and sites to see (we found everything through our own research). If these easy fixes can be taken care of this would be a great hotel recommendation.

The location of the hotel is very convenient, almost attached to the Antwerp Centraal station and a walking distance from the center of the city. The breakfast is very good and always in time. The room was very spacious and quiet

Rug in our room was very stained. Main light didn’t work. Mgr unhelpful to change rms.
