    Driving to and from the hotel was very difficult with much redevelopment in progress and diversions made it confusing - even with sat nav. Also now low emissions zone in force - ensure you register your car online beforehand (it's free, even for visitors from the UK like us) - also valid for Antwerp (but not Brussels).

    Excellent location, easy walks to all central tourist sites. Optional garage parking was good for us as we were touring. Friendly, helpful staff, good breakfast.

    Heating didn't work (central one) but I used airco. In the morning in bathroom (sink) there was no warm water and heating didn't work, so it was quite cold.

    Room was spacious, fully furnished and quiet. Bed was comfortable. Bathroom was large as well. Breakfast was nice, enough to fill a stomach and tasty. Airco was there as well.

    Really something different. The breakfast was fantastic and so was the coffee. Very friendly and helpful staff

    A savage automatic door to the bathroom that was hard to push open and closed too fast, giving me some bruises. No hooks to hang a towel.

    Friendly and helpful staff. Good hot water, clean bathroom, comfortable bed. Good location, an easy walk from the old centre.

    Stairs. The property has no lift. Not friendly for elder guests with knee problems and guests with heavy luggage.

    The unit is spacious for 2 persons and it's clean. It has a huge bathroom. The hotel is 1km walk from the city center. Not bad for younger travellers. The breakfast is okay--- cereals, croissants, breads, fruits, milk, yogurt, butters and cheeses.

    Some of the rooms are located at the busy street in front, staying during the workweek caused some work noise in the morning when we left the window open. But was very doable.

    Great location near the centre and easy access throughout the day. Location also very good to reach by public transport. Many nearby cafes. Shower was great, aircon worked well.

    The room is smallish but excellently configured to give you most things (a TV, wardrobe, table, comfy chair) without feeling squashed or cluttered. There are plenty of plug points too. The bathroom is reasonably spacious. Breakfast is simple but very good quality and a generous spread. Great location. Internet worked well too.
