It is very close to central train station and lots of food options within walking distance. We opted for china town and found an excellent restaurant. The room facing the street wasn’t a quiet as we’d hoped and they put us in a room on the inner side. It was much quieter, although the first room was much nicer, since it had been updated recently, this one was still nice.

Picture use for ad is central station on Antwerp, nothing to do with the hotel. Everything in my room is in very good condition except the mattress. (Should have new one). Breakfast is good. Staff in restaurant are nice and pleasant but not front desk. Location is excellent. 2 min walk to central station.

This hotel can not be 4* property as it was sold to me. It can not even be 3* property, or any stars. It is dirty filthy, uncomfortable bed, cheap linen, corridors, shabby bathroom, horrible breakfast, - the dining room was so small - it could not take even half of the tourists. one the receptionist was so rude! Never again and don ot recommend

I can nit believe this property is marketed as 4* hotel it is not even a 3* hotel level. There is no stars there at all. Shabby carpets with spots, cracks in the bathroom, uncomfortable bed, inadequate breakfast, small overcrowded breakfast room. Never again! Rude man 24 th Feb evening check- in! This kind of man can o my be in horror movie. On the other days the receptionists were ok.

The location is amazing but the hotel is a pain. I had to change the room. Aircon wasnot working and the room temperature was 5. The second room the aircon had noises and they had sensor lights in room every time u move it turns on even in the middle of the night. You can hear everything happening in rooms next to you and above u. The only thing good is staff are friendly and good location.

This hotel is a good place to stage a visit to Belgium. It is clean, comfortable, and safe, and less than a 5 minute walk to Antwerpen Central train station. You can be anywhere in Belgium in less than 2 hours without packing up every day or two.

Excellent location. The property was good. The manager in charge of the breakfast room was not friendly. I enjoyed the breakfast and after an hour something I got back to the room and came to the breakfast room with my wife. This time, the manager was not that friendly thinking I came to take breakfast again. In fact, I used to get up early and after finishing my breakfast, I usually accompanied my wife to the breakfast room where I did not need more food but some more coffee only.

Beware of hotel staff & your valuables
Hotel is central and close to restaurants and train. Although hotel is outdated, rooms have been upgraded. Breakfast was good - same selection as most and quality good. Bad experience: I had my credit cards and euros stolen from my room. Hotel was not very helpful, although did file a police report and am hopeful thief will be apprehended after $10,000 spree. We believe it was hotel staff because we had a DND on the door and hotel was not helpful to look at the log of entry to our room.

I think the hotel definitely needs some renovating done. They definitely try it mask up the hotel and make it look clean and vibrant, however the room was definitely noticeably in poor condition. The bathtub seemed like it was about to fall in to the floor, there was mild growing in the shower caulking. Great location, but the hotel as a whole definitely needs some work done.

Great location, great breakfast selection, but let down by a series of little problems with the room. Shower was cold then too hot and back again every 10 seconds. Aircon did not work, and flashed bright display during the night. Pillows were too big 50cm square and much too thick to fold in half. There was a motion sensor in the room which triggered the light whenever there was movement in the bed - which we had to tape over to stop the light coming on every few minutes. The breakfast food was great, never ran short of anything, but the space could be much better organised. Currently buffet is by the window, at the farthest point from the kitchen. There is no one-way-system, and it gets very crowded. Better might be to have tables by the window, and move the buffet to the back, next to the kitchen so the staff don't have to walk so far carrying trays.

Disappointed except for location and receptionist
The hotel does not deserve to have 4 stars. I guess 2 stars are still hanging in the sky because the hotel is outdated. Nothing really what shows on the pictures. The only 4 star here was the receptionists!!! He deserve more then 4 stars. Only he was the star of this hotel ! i will give him a huge compliment!! Very helpful. He helped me and change me twice to another room because of a disfunction of the lights in the first room. And the Second one the toilet seat was broken !!

t hotel close but not to close!
Hotel was great location and hotel staff were extremely friendly. Rooms were noisy but nothing that earplugs can’t fix. It is away from the hit spits so the noise level was not nearly as bad as it would be closer to town.

Public rooms are impressive. Location is ideal - c50m from the railway station. Reception staff were friendly. Breakfasts excellent, & promptly replenished by the 2 hardworking staff members. Shoe polishing machine by lifts. The first room I was shown to had a broken window, which was dangerous to open, & I was upgraded to a superior one. There were various problems with the 2nd one - I felt embarrassed to mention them all to the reception staff. They were mainly related to maintenance - if each room had been thoroughly checked before letting guests in, some problems could have been avoided. The 2nd room had an excellent view, but problems with the room included: The safe didn't work. TV - There were only 24 channels, & only 1 in English, no BBC. Plumbing The handbasin leaked & there was no bathplug. Reception didn't have a spare. I feel that for a 4 star hotel the required standard wasn't achieved. More training & staff visits to other hotels of the same star rating could help give greater awareness of guests' expectations.

Great location across the street from Centraal Station. Adult only hotel with a good location right on the main avenue of Antwerp. Friendly service. We were not in the hotel much during our stay but would stay there again next time.

Booked this hotel as the Radisson was full. Hotel looked ok outside but that was only a thin veneer. Despite having paid in advance Reception demanded payment of city tax on arrival. The room was freezing and the single heater unit took several resets to get going. Even then it was only capable of slightly warming the area immediately around it. There was a very unpleasant odour of drains in the room, and thinking the smell was probably due to dried out u bends I ran the taps in the bathroom. This reduced the smell but led to the discovery that the bath water came out of the taps a muddy brown colour.
