Prima hotel op een top locaties
Pros:

Locatie super. Mooi ingericht. Leuke bar. Vriendelijk personeel.

Cons:

De bedden in de kleine budget kamer zijn echt veel en veel te smal waardoor ik (187 cm, 80 kg) niet normaal geslapen heb. Jammer want de rest is super.

Pros:

We hadden alles wat we nodig hadden. Vriendelijk personeel. Ontbijt was top.

Cons:

Slechte geluidsisolatie. We hadden een torenkamer en oude velux die al het lawaai binnenlaat. Hierdoor slechte nachtrust. Voor de dure prijs, kleine kamer.

Boutique stay in the heart of Antwerp
Pros:

So central that the rooms have direct views of the Cathedral! Super comfy beds and fun rooms with design touches that reference that art history of Antwerp. Bonus points for the tub in the room :)

Bei meinen nächsten Besuch in Antwerpen werde ich fix in einem anderen Hotel buchen!!!
Pros:

Das Zimmer ist sehr Zentral gelegen und hatte einen Ausblick auf die Kathedrale.

Ich würde persönlich dieses Hotel kein zweitesmal buchen.

Meine Frau war von der Fototapete und den Auftritt im Internet begeistert und deshalb hatten wir auch dieses Hotel gebucht.

Cons:

Preis/Leistung passten in diesen Hotel leider überhaupt nicht zusammen!
Die Sauberkeit im Hotel hat mir leider nicht so gefallen. Teppiche am Gang teilweise sehr mitgenommen und verunreinigt. Ebenso der Lift. Personal unterhält sich beim reinigen der Zimmer extrem laut...
Wände sehr dünn und daher die Geräusche und Gespräche aus den Nachbarzimmer sehr laut. Die Toilette winzig klein - gerade noch das man die Türe schließen kann. Einlagiges Toilettenpapier - wusste gar nicht das es sowas noch gibt. Die Kreditkarte wurde beim einchecken und sofortiger Zahlung noch mit einer weiteren hochen Gebühr belastet ( angeblich um etwaige Schäden in den nicht sehr modernen Zimmern auszugleichen ) die aber wieder retour gebucht wurde. Etwas tricky - könnte bei Kartenzahlungen wenn man nur über ein gewisses Zahlungskontigent verfügt zu Problemen führen.
