“In my opinion, this hotel stands out for its prime location in a lively Antwerp neighborhood, close to key museums and dining spots; the spacious rooms, some featuring unique touches like exposed brick, add character. However, some may find the parking situation less than ideal and a few maintenance issues are sometimes reported. Overall, it's a property with considerable charm.”
