Had a form to fill in when booking in with questions including not just the country and town I was born in and my nationality but my personal home address. Also my profession! What on Earth does my profession have to do with booking into a hotel? Left some cake and a sandwich, both wrapped up, on the room table while we went out for a walk. We got back and the food were plagued by small black flies. Woken up around 3am by a man who we could hear during the day getting more and more intoxicated. He had started off chatting loudly to the workmen out back then later he was singing shanty songs then we were woken up by him aggressively shouting at someone

Great place to be eaten alive by bed bugs

Infested with bed bugs which means my children aged 3 & 9 were bitten anll over their body all night, with bed sheets covered with blood, Had to keep going to reception 3-4 times because I couldn’t into my room with the key cards, woken at 7am by drilling, one fan in the room which was a complete safety hazard, blade was fitted wrong way around so blew backwards, safety mesh not secure so blades were exposed, the base was broken so it didn’t stand correctly and one turned on it was so unsecured it was moving all over and sounded like a helicopter and moved like it will take off! No one seamed to care and the response was I’ll let the manager know, no care in the world. However the only positive thing I could say is the gentleman who was on the desk on the evening of check in, assisted me to find a night shop to buy milk for my child.

Disgusting. Found a nail clipping in the bed. Which shows no one cleaned it. Found hair in the bathroom, again which shows no one cleaned it. Not sure what sort of cleaning job they do. But disgusting is what it is

Bed was too soft. There were mosquitos in the room. You had to make your own bed and the shoer did not have a hilder so you have to hold the shower while showering The booking is misleading as we were looking for a hotel with parking but the hotel sends you to a parking lot. You do get a discount on parking but still misleading.

Liked: Room comfort
Disliked: Cleanliness
The staff in the early afternoon was friendly. When I checked in at 5, the new staff was less friendly. He could speak good English, barely enough to communicate. I feel like I was given commands and he repeated his commands if people didn’t follow. The staff next morning was friendly again. The bed linen given to me seemed clean but smelled like sour feet. My room had no lockers. There was only one iron case underneath the other bunk bed (shown in the photos).
No locker underneath my bed.
Only one locker for the other double deck bed.

Basic, zero frills, beware of renovations

This was an overnight stop and so was OK, but it's not a place for longer stays. The hotel was under renovation mid-June 2025 (which isn't mentioned on Hotels.com) and so it was a bit rough & ready with cracks in walls and workmen in the lifts etc. Rooms basic, beware no AC. It was cheap and seconds from station so did the job. Bring earplugs!

This is hostel rather than a Hotel..

Check in was easy enough.. didn't realise it was a hostel rather than a hotel.. so my immediate reaction was to find another place to stay.. But we were given a room on the top floor.. The room was clean and comfortable with basic facilities with ensuite bathroom.. A little worn but seemed adequate for our one night stay.. It was quiet and the bed was comfortable and clean.. TV had English channels which was a bonus .. The location of the hotel was opposite the train station.. A few minutes walk from the zoo and about 15minutes walk to the centre of Antwerp.. Shops and restaurants nearby.. In the beginning we were apprehensive about staying but ended up enjoying our stay and absolutely loved its location.. No WiFi unfortunately having technical problems apparently.. Although parking is advertised as available but there is not.. Fortunately we have a blue badge and parked directly outside the hotel on the path Didn't receive any tickets for parking while we were there overnight.. So again a bonus...
