Hemiksem Vacation Packages

A beautiful, small hotel in the quiet south of Antwerp that felt like a luxurious escape during traveling. The rooms are so cozy and well stocked with amenities and thoughtful touches that did not go missed. The staff is truly outstanding in their hospitality, support, friendliness, and knowledge. Truly a great, memorable experience all around.

For the price, this hotel was very disappointing. The advertises a top-rated breakfast, but in our experience it wasn’t even worth €5. The scrambled eggs were contaminated with pork juices because the same serving spoon was used for both the eggs and the bacon. In a country like Belgium, where halal options are widely available, I expected better attention to avoiding cross-contamination. The amenities were poor. There was no YouTube or Netflix on the TV, and when I mentioned it at reception, the staff member simply shrugged and said he couldn’t leave the desk to help. The air conditioning only worked at certain times, which was very odd. We stayed as a family of three with a toddler. Despite requesting extra towels on the first day, we kept having to ask. We had also booked a twin room with a sofa bed, but were moved at the last minute to a room with only one double bed, so all three of us had to share. The balcony was filthy and had loose, dangling cables, making it unsafe to use. Overall, the hotel was overpriced and poor value for money. I wouldn’t recommend it, especially for families with young children.

Convenient location, clean room, helpful staff.
