Great location, nice and quiet but only 5 minutes from the station. The kitchen area was good, but lacked facilities. I needed to ask for plates, bowls and cutlery. A toaster would've been useful.

Park Inn by Radisson Antwerp City Centre
This hotel is very close to the train station and the diamond district. Its a half a block from where you check in and where breakfast is served.

Grand Hotel en Résidence De Draak
Room was very clean, bed was so comfortable and the location is perfect! Staff weren’t the most welcoming as they didn’t appreciate that we booked through Expedia. Still highly recommend.
