Great location and a great room - I can't believe we were right in the heard of the city and the room was as quite as it was. You could hear a pin drop. Bed was very comfortable and the room was really cool. Would def. stay again.
Quirky designer apartment. Mine had no kitchen but supplied with excellent coffee machine and coffee pods, mini fridge, plates and utensils. Great bed, lovely marble bathroom, plenty of towels, good hot water pressure. Excellent location to historical center. Uber worked well.

This place is perfect for a romantic weekend trip. Clean, luxurious design and comfy bed plus well located so that exploring the city is easy.
I would return to this place everytime <3
Zero communication. They don't respond to any calls. Cobwebs everywhere. There's no shower. You can only bathe in the bathtub, and if you try to use the showerhead, water leaks out of the pipe and wets the entire floor.
The accommodations are beautiful. That's what makes us choose this loft without breakfast.
Well decorated room with separate living and sleeping areas. Location couldn’t be bettered. Very clean.
Only downside was the double glazing on the street side wasn’t up to blocking out the lively night life!
We loved our stay here. It was an amazing location and we were able to walk to everything we wanted to see. It’s more like an apartment vacation rental as there’s no lobby, front desk, etc but the staff was always available and attentive!
Amazing little hotel. This is a not your typical hotel with a lobby, or staff on site. These are perfectly decorated and furnished apartments. Coffee makes, wine and champagne glasses, wine opener, Everything is remote, the keys are transmitted to you electronically. But everything works flawlessly. And the apartment is adorable, very comfy bed, couch, huge TV, awesome shower. If it had a kitchen you could live here.
Downside is there is no front desk or any staff for that matter if you need assistance. We weren’t given bathrobes although it was listed in the amenities online, the shower head was flimsy and didn’t stay upright and there were exposed wall wires by the vanity/sink mirror. For a property listed as ‘luxury’ you would expect better. Other than that it was a pleasant stay the vibe of the room is great and looks like the picture nice and spacious also the location is perfect close to dinning and shopping.
Rooms are beautiful, location is perfect, and staff is always available and very helpful. The only down thing was to my surprised finding a closed hotel and it works mainly as apartment/BNB type of thing so there is no really amenities. It was a surprised as I expected to find an open hotel as I thought I had booked. But definitely room was amazing and very big. I do understand that if hotel was open probably the suite I had booked I would have paid double the price. Location is amazing!!! Is very unfortunate that hotel was closed as is a beautiful property.

This is an apart-hotel and not an hotel. No reception, no help with baggage, and very difficult to communicate with anyone if help is needed. The entrance is a tiny black door and a tiny corridor to the elevator. Room was spacious with a comfortable bathroom, but when in the room you need to go down a few steps to the living room and then up a few steps to the bedroom. An app on your phone opens the front door and the bedroom door. Over all a very stressful experience.

A very good apart-hotel, beautiful interior fitout. The app is very useful, and explains how to use all the amenities in the room. The hotel is more beautiful than the pictures online. The room was very very big. Staff are very attentive and helpful, replying to WhatsApp messages quickly. The location is perfect, a 2 minute walk from the metro and close walk to Antwerps popular shopping city.
If I had to be very picky, the only thing I would say is that some features offered online and via Expedia are outdated. For example, Expedia offer pay at the property however this is not possible as there is no concierge desk. So they will charge your card full payment a few days before your stay. Also, we were told a welcome bottle of champagne on check in, which we did not get. Also, the room was told to have SONOS (surround speakers) which we later found out is no longer a feature for their rooms. The websites need updating.
However, that was not enough to ruin our stay. It was amazing and we will definitely be coming back.

No staff to help, provided codes didn’t work, just felt like a dirty airbnb not a hotel
Gorgeous, glamorous suite hotel. Beautifully decorated, right in the heart of Antwerp. Very helpful but skeleton staff. Comfortable bed and lounge area. Strange see through shower section though. Artful touches of gold everywhere. Welcome drink was a nice touch. Breakfast very overpriced.
