I enjoyed the stay. Clean and quite and very easy transportation from city (10 min by tram), 25 min by walk. Hosts are wonderful people, Yannic and Denisse, they provided me all information about late checked in. And they provide me surprised room upgrade so I would not move to another room in second night. Morning, I got a few tip about Antwerp and that worked as well.
Wonderful hotel. Fantastic hospitality from Sarah. Beautiful property, comfortable, great breakfast, lovely neighbourhood with lots of very cool restaurants and bars a short walk away. Perfect hotel for business or holiday when you're in Antwerp.
Home away from home, great location for any romantic weekend… nestled into the zuid of Antwerp this gem of a hotel represents the best of it’s kind. Perfect location for shopping, drinks and great restaurants. Arrival just before Christmas results in a festive and welcoming environment. Congratulations to the owners
I stayed on 7th September for a weekend trip to do some photography and I loved the Boutique Hotel Maison Emile. Laurens one of the owners gave a me great guide to the city and where to eat away from the usual tourist places and Laurens and Yannick were great hosts. The room was bright and immaculate with a classic but modern style with a great shower and super comfortable bed. I treated myself to breakfast and it was a delicious selection. I loved my stay here and only regret that it couldn't have been for longer. I wouldn't hesitate to choose this hotel for a longer vacation or another short stay.

Dear Guest,
Thank you for reviewing our boutique. It is very nice to read that you enjoyed your stay with us, that you enjoyed the comfort of our rooms.
It is also good to read that you liked our tips and tricks to explore the city.
We hope to see you back one day in Antwerp (for maybe a longer vacation).
Excellent accommodation and friendly staff. Located within 30 minutes walk of city centre but also well served by local restaurants and bars. Large free car-park a couple of blocks away.
Bed was comfortable. Rooms stylish and clean. We enjoyed the breakfast- good variety of food and drinks available.

Dear Andrew,
Thank you for reviewing your stay at Maison Emile. It is very nice to read that you enjoyed your stay and the comfort of our little boutique hotel. And yes the South quarter of Antwerp is an early 20th century French quarter, we locals like to spend our time here with all the nice bars and good (more then 200) restaurants and yet so close to the historical part of the city.
Very nice that you enjoyed our extended breakfast buffet with national and international delights and eggs made "à la minute".
And the drinks in the Honesty Bar, are the beverages we also enjoy ;-)
Thank you for your kind words and compliments.
10/10 Excellent

Dear Guest,
Thank you so much for your great scoring! We are very happy that you enjoyed the comfort and the location of our little Boutique Hotel.
Again thank you for your big appreciation for our efforts to offer you a 2nd home far away from your home.
A very clean, quiet, well maintained hotel just a short distance from the old town of Antwerp. Yannick and Laurens were very gracious hosts, offering a smooth check in and check out and good advice on what is in the area. The room was cozy and well decorated.

It is good to hear that you appreciate our personal contact with you.
See you soon.

Lovely, immaculate hotel in a very nice area, loads of restaurants and bars within an easy 5-10 minute walk.
Great honesty bar system.
We didn't have breakfast as we had an early start so can't comment on that but it looked lovely as they were putting it out.
Probably the cheapest secure parking you will find in Antwerp too!

Hello,
Thank you so much for writing your review. We're happy to hear that you loved your stay in our hotel and that you enjoyed the tips we gave about the city and trendy south quarter of Antwerp.
We hope to see you soon back in Antwerp.
Geweldig verblijf gehad in dit hotel. Echt een aanrader. Net buiten de drukte van de stad, maar met tram op loopafstand ben je zo in de stad en als je van wandelen houdt, bereik je de stad ook in een half uurtje te voet.
Ontzettend vriendelijk personeel, gastvrij, behulpzaam en geïnteresseerd.
Hotel en kamer zijn heel erg schoon en fris. Van alle gemakken voorzien en heerlijk ontbijt.
Kortom: top!
Super vriendelijk en gastvrij, mooi en schoon. Heerlijk bed,goede douche. Wel een bromtoon hoorbaar in de nacht vanaf kamer 15, als je licht slaapt, oordopjes mee!
Mooie ambiance, lekker ontbijtje met zalige cappuccino. Goede fietsen in de verhuur!
Very lovely hotel, perfekt for a weekend trip to Antwerp (or longer). Super clean and very cosy. Parking garage is in only 5 min walking distance. We were greeted by Sarah, who was very friendly and had many great tips on Cafés and Restaurants for us in the area. The staff was easily reachable via WhatsApp, even when reception was closed. Walk to old part of town is about 20 Minutes and well worth it. Take the side streets to explore lots of beautiful neighborhoods, shops and places to eat & drink.
Hallo Wouter,
Dankjewel om je verblijf in ons hotel te beoordelen. Wat een heerlijk gevoel laat je ons na met je lovende woorden "Heerlijk, geweldig..."
Wij zijn blij dat je genoten hebt van je verblijf in Maison Emile en dat je onze persoonlijke gastvrijheid zo weet te waarderen.
Heel graag tot een volgende keer in Antwerpen.
Litet rum, men fullt tillräckligt. Rent och fräscht. Utmärkt frukost, om än lite sen.
Lätt att hitta parkering i närområdet.
Ingen vanlig reception. Kontakt hölls över mail och sms/telefon för att säkerställa när inchecking skulle ske, allt med ett en proffsigt och varmt bemötade, fungerade perfekt.

Dag Lieve,
Dankjewel dat om voor ons boutique hotel te kiezen voor je recente verblijf in Antwerpen. Wij zijn blij te lezen dat je een goed verblijf hebt gehad bij Maison Emile.
Het doet ons een enorm plezier te lezen dat je onze kamers tip to in orde vond en dat je onze gastvrijheid zo wist te smaken.
En inderdaad, het Antwerpse Zuid is de tofste wijk van de stad, wij locals brengen er graag onze vrije tijd door in een lekker restaurantje, hippe galerie of gewoon in een gezellige bar! Tof dat jij het hier ook zo leuk vond.
Lieve, nogmaals dankjewel voor je fijne woorden en geweldige score. Wij kijken uit naar een volgend verblijf.
Netter Empfang und hilfreiche Infos. Das Hotel ist sauber und charmant. Es liegt im Süden, aber man kann ca. 15 Minuten ins Zentrum laufen oder 5 Stationen mit der Bahn fahren (3€). In der Nähe gibt es viele Bars und Restaurants und einige Cafés.

Ett litet hotell, med fantastisk service. Jag fick fina tips om vart jag skulle gå för att uppleva saker, tips på mysiga restauranger med god mat. Också ett hotell där man litar på gästen.
Ett hotell, dit jag självklart kommer att välja igen, för nästa resa till Antwerpen.

Hyggeligt lille hotel. Værtsparret var meget tjenstvillige og hotellet er et af de bedste jeg har boet på. Næsten som at bo i nogens hjem.

And we are really flattered about your compliment regarding one of the best hotel you have ever been. A very big thank you for that!

Wenn man nach langer Autofahrt das Hotel erreicht, ist ein freundlicher Empfang schon angenehm. Das Maison Emile war verschlossen und auf ein Klingelzeichen wurde die Tür geöffnet und dann passierte nichts. Bis wir zufällig vorbereitete Zimmerkarten für uns entdeckten.
Ansonsten lässt das Zimmer keine Wünsche offen, abgesehen davon, dass die Toilette nur abgetrennt ist! Parken nur auf der Straße!

Dear Andreas Kohler,
Thank you for reviewing your stay in our hotel. We like to make some things clear regarding your review. Our boutique hotel has 10 rooms, as mentioned on the booking page and on the welcome mail: we kindly request to ring the door bell when you arrive. The front door is always closed for your and our safety (which our guests in general appreciate). Some days for your arrival we have send you an email to let us know your estimated time of arrival. You never replied... The day of arrival we tried to send you an sms, you never replied ...
The moment you rang the doorbell, our receptionist opened the door for you, as we do for every guest. Unfortunately you did not have the kindness to wait for our receptionist to welcome you, you took one of the key cards which were already prepared out of our reception desk!!! We honestly don’t understand why you blame us.
Nevertheless we hope you enjoyed the complimentary upgrade (we already gave you prior to arrival).
Maybe a tip for a next travel: we think you did not choose the right kind of (boutique) hotel and advise you to visit a larger business hotel with an open door and a 24h reception.
We are truly sorry about your experience, but we like to point on a shared responsibility.
