The Radisson Blu Astrid Hotel in Antwerp is a superior hotel: central location, comfortable rooms, nice bar and restaurant, fitness center and even an indoor pool. So what’s to complain about? The lack of English speaking news channels on its TV. BBC, CNN, EuroNews, even Al Jazeera are not available because they are high definition. (Thankfully, there is France 24 in English!) English is widely spoken in Antwerp so one would think English-speaking guests at the Radisson would be better accommodated. Travellers who value their hotel stays as more than just a bed to sleep in, appreciate the TV in their room as much as the bed.
