Stayed here and was impressed, it's a large open apartment 5 mins from the main square and located in the best area of Antwerp. Breakfast was great and the owner who lives upstairs is very friendly and helpful. Value for money was impressive, We enjoyed it. More

We hate to write such a negative review as we are aware that this might hurt business, however this time we could not stay quiet. This could have been the perfect place to stay in Antwerp as its location was perfect, right in the middle of an artsy area with tons of galleries and restaurants and a short walk from... More

Here you have a flat of your own, very roomy and very bright, clean and cool. The hostess is very friendly with a big smile. Breakfast is excellent! Don´t hesitate, go ahead and book it! Antwerp is a charming city with a lot to offer! More

My wife and I stayed at 'The Big Sleep' during a trip to Antwerp and neighboring cities and both of us were very happy with our choice. First of all the size of the 'room' needs to be stressed as it is more the space of a whole apartment. No hotel room will ever be that big. Secondly the location... More

The room I stayed was like an art studio and was incredibly spatial for a solo traveler. It was very inspiring and relaxing space. I also really enjoyed their breakfast. I wish I could stay longer. I am definitely coming back to Antwarp just so that I can stay here again! More

This review is woefully, inexcusably overdue -- and for that, we are very very sorry -- but suffice it to say, the Big Sleep definitely lived up to its name! It is very spacious, clean, private, centrally located in a safe area. Els is perfectly hospitable without being intrusive, which is balancing act in and of itself. (She was not... More

We booked this B&B based on all the previous great reviews. I can state unequivocally that the reviews were 100% accurate. The B&B is approx. 2.2 km (a little more than a mile) distance from the Antwerp train station. We walked, and it took about 30-45 minutes. We had a relative walk us to the B&B……..so without this help, taking... More

Stayed here on 15/7/10. Weather was dry and sunny. Free parking across the main road. B&B is hidden in side road but Satnav took us straight there. Room was on ground floor so no lifts or stairs to worry about. Elsi greeted us and was really nice. Room was huge, clean, white and minimalist, well decorated, and has its own... More

We had the gorgeous huge room on the first floor. It's really stylishly decorated and immaculately clean. Els was a perfect host coming up at 9.30am with a lovely breakfast including fresh orange juice and strawberries. The location is great, near all the cool little antique shops, boutiques etc heading towards the Zuid. The street is really charming and there... More
