This is a boutique hotel in a beautifully renovated old property - we loved it. We didn't try the hotel breakfast as there are plenty of less-expensive options nearby. We did visit the spa, which you have to book and carries a separate charge but facilities are nice and you have the place to yourself. Overall an excellent, stylish hotel with excellent staff to help you.

Cute little hotel - we just got a regular room but our friends were upgraded to the top floor and its such a cute place. The checking in was smooth but the guy doing it could have been more friendly. We unfortunately could not shower bc the water was scalding hot. We did not bother calling front desk bc it was too early. Only was in our room to sleep.

This hotel is fantastic! Great location, right size, good food, excellent service and very quiet. It is a great find- and would highly recommend. The roof terrasse is a must see.

Our three-day stay at the Julien Hotel
We had an excellent stay at the Julien. The hotel was amazing from all points of view: the cleanliness, friendliness of the staff, and we especially loved the art to be seen in all parts of the hotel. The only remark we had was that the room, at night, was a bit too dark, so that reading became a bit of a problem. My suggestion was to add some more lighting in the room. Furthermore the shower floor was very slippery and one has to be very careful not to fall. This could easily be taken care of by adding a rubber mat or a bar. Otherwise everything was just perfect. Thank you for a delightful stay at the Julien.

The outside of the building gives very little away about the gorgeous interiors and spaces inside: it is a calm, elegant haven in the middle of the city. Only stayed for a night but thoroughly enjoyed it and will certainly return.

Great location, but doesn't seem it at first!
Very cool design hotel. Loved that it was a boutique hotel, but so closely located to the heart of the cafes and shopping in Antwerp. The street is a little sketchy that it is on, which creates a less than favourable first impression. Only major downfall is the tram out front - if you have front rooms, you will hear them (and some drunken people waiting for the tram). Request a room in the back of the hotel - do yourself a favour!! I would stay again however - loved the vibe and good minimalist comfort.

Noisy!
Beautiful Hotel, Beautiful suite, Beautiful Bathroom. Location fairly central...But unfortunately the stay was spoilt by consistent noise on road outside the hotel from 1-4am....and I mean crazily noisy. Maybe we were unlucky and this was a one off...but to be safe do not take room 21 and ask for a room at the back of the hotel. Personally I wouldn't risk it again.

Stylish boutique hotel
The hotel is located in a very old building with extremely high ceiling and decorated with modern furniture. This hotel is surprisingly quiet despite its location right near the old center. The breakfast was excellent.

Fantastic Antwerp hotel
Small very chic, hip hotel. Fantastic staff and location. Easy access to central station. Original building from 16th century so rooms can be quirky by American standards. Be prepared to walk some stairs. Wouldn't stay anywhere else in Antwerp.

Poor quality hotel
-1 star for water leaking from bathroom ceiling, we had ti move our room at 1am -1 star for noise from Tram, which runs from 6am to 12:30am. The room was so close to tram and we could feel the echo and noise from it. Also, the walls are poorly built and we could hear anyone walking outside of our room -1 star for hair dryer not working after few min of use -1 star for air conditioning not working properly
