The location was good and the hotel is nicely designed. Certain staff members had an unfriendly attitude and the cleaning service was poor. There was one guy, who seemed to be the owner, who didnt have a good attitude. Other staff, mostly young people, were in fact nice and helpful. Our room was not wel cleaned during our stay. Be aware: this is a limited service hotel with almost no amenities. After 8pm the hotel is closed and you can only enter the hotel via the night entrance to go straight up to your room. If you like luxury and pampering, this is not a hotel for you. If you just need a room to sleep that looks nice, but most of your time you'll be out in town, this hotel is fine.

We really enjoyed the location. Just around the corner of de Nationale Straat & Vrijdagsmarkt and good walking distance from Vlaemse Kaai and 't Zuid The room was extremely noisy (we live in the center of Amsterdam) and warm. It was like sleeping in a Formula 1 hotel - no staff around, back entrance with a card, no reception from 7 pm. The owner stated in a recent interview that 1+1+1+1=5, however breakfast was at a surcharge of euro 17. The suite was not a suite, so why advertise it like that...

Hip Hotel with perfect service in the centre of Antwerp The room did not have a bathroom and the fireplace was broken. This was a bit disappointing.

Nice staff, very welcoming. The entrance nice and cozy No painting on the roof and nothing on the floor. No view, we did pay for it, but were looking on an other building. Toilet next to the shower. Very small television. Payed to much in stead of what you get back.

The position Breakfast is too expensive: they don't give you a choise, they bring you the food they want. No space in the bathroom, and only 2 little soaps for 2 days. No cleaning room for 2 days 130e per night: bad quality/price ratio.

The lobby area, bar and overall design. Room is pretty small but perfectly designed and clean Hmm.. 100 euros for such a small room is the only weak point I can think of but, obviously, the 100 euros also cover the welcome drink, bar area, location, etc etc so cannot complain much

The girls at the reception were very friendly. It was nice to have a separate night entrance. The glass of cava was a nice gesture. The recptiona dn restuarant downstairs wetre clean and looked very good. Ok for a city trip. The man at the reception was not friendly: not even a smile. The room was dusty and the bathroom was small and did not have a rain shower. The open fire has a damaged and dirty box around it. The room was not noise free. We chose the hotel for our honeymoon and would not recommend it for that to anyone.

De sfeer in de lounge is heel relaxed en heeft een goed uitstraling. De kamers zijn met hun betonnen plafond en vloer wel heel erg sober. (armoedig). Ook heel gehorig,Reseveer zowiezo een kamer aan de achterkant!

We have stayed at Bank's many times. The location is great, the rooms and public areas are stylish, and the staff is very helpful. The happy hour every evening (plus coffee/tea available all day) is an added plus. Very slow elevator.

De ligging en service was perfect. Ook het ontbijt was top. Aangezien er doordeweeks veel zakenmensen zitten hoorden we om 6 uur de eerste kamerdeuren dichtklappen. Als je lekker weg bent en uit wil slapen is dit minder maar wel logisch.

They serve free snacks and drinks everyday from 16h to 20h, this is great service and nice that you can relax in the hotel for a bit between shopping and going for dinner.

The location was perfect for shopping. The value of the hotel was excellent. The happy hour was quite nice. The rooms were a bit small for two persons with luggage. The elevator did not work when we came home late and there was no one on duty.

Excellent hotel, perfect location close to shops. We liked the modern stylish design. One thing that I did not see in any other hotel is the free coffee/tea all day long and free drinks and snacks from 4pm to 8 pm. We enjoyed the drinks in the launge, it was cosy and very pleasant, perfect timing between the day in the city and the dinner. Will recommend this hotel to anyone.
