Great stay in a comfortable room
Pros:

This is a great little hotel, located right opposite the Cathedral. The room was surprisingly large and very clean. Bed very good. Reception area is often crowded, but staff are very good. Despite being in the centre of everything, there was no noise in the street.

Cons:

The bathroom is not really private. It is at one end of the room and there is a smoked glass sliding door that covers the toilet, but not the shower part of the bathroom. So there is not really any privacy.

Prima hotel op fijne locatie, wel slecht geïsoleerd.
Pros:

Ligging, mooi kamer. Goed ontbijt.

Cons:

In verhouding duur hotel voor kwaliteit, zeer gehorig. Veel herrie vanuit buiten, ligt aan een plein waar tot laat rumoer is en vroeg in de ochtend de horeca wordt bevoorraad. Daarom een slechte nacht gehad.

Pros:

Staff was incredibly kind and accommodating. We needed to stay a few hours longer due to my spouse not feeling well, and they were able to make arrangements to help. Location was excellent, as was the breakfast buffet and the view from the room.

Cons:

The bed was a little stiff, but not terrible. The air conditioner didn't seem to be able to flow very well in the room we had. We would have open a window but it was a little loud.

満足
Pros:

ロケーションが最高でした。スタッフのかたも感じが良く、また、オリジナルのチョコレートがいただけたのも気分が上がりました。部屋はコンパクトながら機能的で清潔感があり、オーバーヘッドシャワーの他にハンドシャワーがあるのも嬉しかったです。おすすめです。

Loved Antwerp and the hotel perfectly suited our needs.
Pros:

The location was perfect for us and the room had lovely views of the Cathedral. The large double bed was wonderfully comfortable and the addition of a lovely bath tub was much appreciated.

Cons:

The lighting in the room was definitely lacking. It was dimly lit and probably the worst bathroom lighting I have come across. A full length mirror would also have been appreciated.

Outstanding location
Pros:

Our second time at Hotel O Kathedral.
Excellent location, just a 1-minute walk from Antwerp's impressive cathedral and the Fish-a-Gogo "restaurant" next door deserves its reputation as the best place to eat fish in Antwerp. Don't be put off by appearances (more pop-up style than table service. The hotel offers guests a list of 20 or more local restaurants, and the Fiera offers exceptionally good fine dining in wonderful surroundings.
Affordable parking nearby (5-minute walk) for €25 per day.

Cons:

Our expectations were met, so no dislikes.
