Essen Vacations from $553

The room wasn’t in a good condition, the door frame had around 20 screws in it keeping it in place. The bathroom had cracked floor tiles and the shower has seen better days. The hotel ‘bar’ has made up opening hours and the staff weren’t really interested in talking to you. It’s definitely a hotel that is made to look good for photos but it’s cheaply done. Location was good to walk to Saint Gille or the centre. It was clean enough but I’d of probably paid that little more for a better hotel (probably a chain with higher standards)

Staff at desk are great! Room clean

I absolutely loved this hotel. I checked in on October 25, 2025. I wasn’t able to check in early, but the staff was able to store my luggage while I walked around and waited for my room to be ready. The bed was incredibly comfortable. I slept like a baby. The rooms are decorated in this gorgeous blue color scheme. I love the art on the walls and the wallpaper, the attention to detail is noticeable and admirable. I came back after staying in Antwerp for a few days and checked in on Thursday, October 30 and slept here for two more nights. I experienced both a single room and a double room during my time, both rooms were fantastic, though for more than one person, I would recommend a double room. I was traveling solo so a single worked well for me and I just had extra space in the double room. If I ever found myself in Brussels again, I would absolutely stay at the Craves Hotel. I kind of want it to be at my home away from home.

The property is very safe, they have washer, dryer in level -2, but i guess depending on your room reservation you may not have access to it, easy walk to local culture and activities, overall we were very happy with our suite. Nick from, Texas
