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.

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.

Great base for our City Break
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.

Cozy Boutique Hotel
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.

Lovely place
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!

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!

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.

Litet rum, men fullt tillräckligt. Rent och fräscht. Utmärkt frukost, om än lite sen. Lätt att hitta parkering i närområdet. Ingen vanlig reception.

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.

Kein Empfang!
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.
