The breakfast was great, the location in downtown Antwerp was excellent as well. We received an unexpected upgrade to a larger room due to a cancellation, which was a more than pleasant surprise. The host was also very hospitable, accomodating our every needs and being very helpful overall. We would love to come back here again.

Excellent location. Quiet. Owner was very friendly and helpful. The hotel is in an old building in an old part of town. Consequently not everything is in perfect shape. Everything was clean and functioned properly, but it is a little worn. But that didn’t get in the way of it being an excellent place to stay. Breakfast is OK, and it’s free if you book directly with the hotel.
