Teleurstellend
Pros:

Ligging tov station en centrum is prima.

Cons:

Airconditioning werkte niet. Het was werkelijk bloedheet op de kamer. Slechte isolatie want het is heel gehorig aan de straatzijde. Je ligt aan route van ambulance, politie etc. Het is al heel gehorig met het raam dicht, laat staan met het raam open. Ontbijt in de basis prima, wel erg druk en veel bezette of vieze tafels.
Kan allemaal gebeuren maar hoe dit vervolgens wordt afgehandeld (genegeerd) vind ik erg teleurstellend. Ben normaal niet van de negatieve recensies maar nu kan ik helaas niet anders.

Pros:

Ontbijt was lekker en vriendelijk personeel.
Goede bedden. Voor in het centrum te liggen is het heel rustig. Ideaal voor een weekend met vriendinnen.
Ik kom zeker nog eens terug.

Cons:

De ligging van het hotel is top.
Wel jammer dat er geen parking aan het hotel is.

Pros:

Dicht bij het station, de dierentuin en de winkelstraten. Tram vlak voor de deur voor als je richting Kinepolis wil zoals wij hebben gedaan. Dan ben je er in 10 minuutjes.
Alles mooi schoon, prima bedden, fijne douche, goed ontbijt, geen geluidsoverlast gehad ondanks de locatie.
We waren er al rond 10.30u om onze bagage af te geven maar mochten zelfs al op onze kamer. Super fijn!

Le parking n'était pas suffisamment haut pour mon véhicule, j'ai dû stationner à l'extérieur avec un payement très onéreux.

Bon choix pour découvrir Anvers
Pros:

Bien situé, entre gare centrale et centre ancien. Bon rapport qualité-prix. Chambre pratique et confortable. Bon petit déjeuner, surtout pour les aliments sucrés.

Cons:

Moquette à changer, car très douteuse. Pas assez d'options chaudes salées au petit-déjeuner (il y avait seulement des lardons et des œufs brouillés).
