Having read a few reviews after booking , was a bit apprehensive. Nothing to worry about. Friendly greeting, good clean room , lovely shower , no issues. Actually loved the spiral staircase, it’s an old building so exactly what it should look like.
Central to Antwerp, bit noisy at night due to this, however that’s what you expect centrally. Would stay again.

Central Antwerp

This is NOT a hotel

Short version:  We paid for two nights in an 'executive-suite' but moved out after only one due to safety and quality concerns.

Full version:  This property bears little relationship to the description.  It is is well placed just a short walk from the Antwerp old town.  It comprises a number of cold, scant equipped rooms over 4 floors accessed by a single street door that is in very poor condition.  The door is operated by a new key-card lock, the workings of which appear easily bypassed.  The premises are not attended by any staff between late afternoon and early morning when the coffee-shop/office below opens.  There is SUBSTANTIAL construction work in progress immediately to the rear (see photos).

We arrived late afternoon but had to leave immediately for an appointment.  On returning to the premises late-evening the poor nature of the neighbourhood became obvious and on arrival the street door appeared insecure.

We entered with caution and made our way to our room locking the door behind us.  The room was cold and poorly equipped with only a bell-boy type trolley for storage.  The bedside table was broken and the step into the bathroom presented the sharp edge of a ceramic floor tile.  To cap it all there was no remote for the TV so I rang the 'Helpline'. The employee could not attend the premises for another hour but offered free breakfast to compensate.  I declined the offer.  Instead I was directed to a location in the 'hotel' where I would find keys for all the remaining rooms! We were not the only guests and this struck me as utterly irresponsible. I was asked to choose from two rooms on the 4th floor.  Both were freezing cold and neither had curtains over the skylights.  I did however take a TV remote back to our room.  We slept with overcoats over the bedclothes for warmth.

Next morning the lady in the café below served a delicious breakfast but was so busy serving customers that she was unable to deal with the complaints of others. She did however offer complementary breakfast.  We had paid for two nights in advance but this property was so bad that we simply had to leave.  I suggested that the property was so mis-described that refunding our second night's stay would be an appropriate gesture.  No such gesture was made.

Not A Hotel, not 'Boutique', not 'Executive'

Don't expect more than an average place to sleep. It's rather B&B. Nothing more. But cheap fares and neatly located near the river Schelde. Just 10 minutes walk into the heart of Antwerp. The big market (Grote Mart) the cathedral and the diamond trading quarter. Some simple but cosy and good restaurants and typical bars and pubs in the vicinity. If you want to eat and drink typically and rather inexpensive I recommend the restaurant "Seven Shaken" at the Grote Mart. Just accross the road are several possibilities for shopping (Liquer shop open 24/7) and buying the daily needs. Perfect starting point for a little walk along the river. Parking area (free of charge) is nearby down the road along the river. 5 minutes walk away, which is something special in this city. Otherwise parking costs you a little fortune. Best drop your luggage at the hotel and ask for the parking. But rush it to get back to your car in front of the hotel, not to risk a ticket.  I liked the hotel, it has some charme.

Nice but old fashioned

I'm not sure if one can actually call it a 'hotel'. It's understaffed big time. There's only one person during the day so don't expect any service. They close the main entrance at 18:00 and they just leave! If you are out after this hour, you would need to use a different door, which can be really challenging and even scary with the shady characters you might encounter on the street late at night. I found it to be a serious safety issue that would definitely prevent me from coming back to this hotel as I was traveling solo.

The location is good as it's near the action. The rooms are clean. Don't chose the standard room, the Deluxe is a bit better. The stairs are very steep and there's barely enough space to place your feet, and quite are quite small! Dont expect any help with your luggage from the staff. 

Noisy, unsafe for solo travelers 

I noted the other comments and my room was clean and spacious (room nr 4). During the night a lot of noise inside the hotel (other guests?). Perfectly well located, cheap and good enough if the only thing you care about is having a room + a bed - no charm.

Good location & price but noisy

In short, the hotel should be completely renovated! No breakfast, no bar, no reception most of the time. Dirty floorcovering. No view from the window, only roofs of other buildings. Positive is the location. In the info about the hotel Parking is mentioned, not what the cost is (€ 25 per 24 h). Info is misleading.

Not as advertised!

The location is the best.
There is a free car park about a 3 min walk away on the riverbank.

The hotel has unique art deco charm - hight ceilings, big windows, great tile work. 
It is very worn out though, which can add to the charm if it weren't so dirty.

The carpets haven't been cleaned for years, inside of drawers were really dirty, there were black curly hairs on the bathroom walls. The sheets and towels were clean and white though.

I would stay there again - especially because  of the art deco charm and the great location. I just hope they put more stress on cleaning the place thoroughly :)
