Fijn verblijf, maar met ongemakken
Pros:

Locatie en comfort van de hotelkamer. Goed ontbijt.

Cons:

Het is praktisch onmogelijk om bij de aangesloten restaurants te dineren. Men heeft als selling point de culinaire beleving, maar die beleving komt niet omdat
de restaurants altijd vol zitten. Zelfs de hotelbar is te bezoeken nadat je op een wachtlijst staat. Advies: laat de hotelgasten als eerste gebruik maken van de faciliteiten. Verder is het ietwat te prijzig voor wat het hotel biedt.

A luxurious stay with outstanding service and a stunning upgrade that made our experience memorable
Pros:

The facilities at Botanic Sanctuary Antwerp are truly exceptional, everything feels luxurious, well-designed, and thoughtfully curated. The location is beautiful and peaceful, and the overall atmosphere is very refined. After our first night, when our room was a bit too warm, the team handled it perfectly: we were upgraded and received incredibly attentive service. Our new room was absolutely stunning, one of the most beautiful hotel rooms we’ve stayed in.

Cons:

The room temperature on the first night was slightly too warm, but this was resolved very quickly and professionally by the staff.

Buitengewoon matige prijs-kwaliteitverhouding
Cons:

Wij kwamen zonder reservering aan bij het hotel, waarbij werd aangegeven dat uitsluitend een suite van EUR 1500 beschikbaar was voor de nacht. Bij Booking bleek evenwel een kamer beschikbaar voor EUR 1000. Die kamer bleek vervolgens uitzonderlijk klein, niet meer dan ruimte rond het bed.

Location is great, in the city center close to all the nice shops and restaurants, perfect for a weekend getaway. Breakfast was also splendid.

Buildings could be slightly better maintained, wear is showing in several places.

Overrated and overpriced hotel, the wellness was one of the main reasons we came and that was also very basic.
Pros:

Good location and decoration.

Cons:

Check-in took around 1 hour, slow service. The swimming pool and saunas are quite basic and overrated. Breakfast for €60 per person is a bit ridiculous. Restaurants in the hotel needed to be booked beforehand (they didn’t tell us upfront). Overall disappointed, bad price-quality in my humble opinion.
