My partner and I had to attend an important meeting in Antwerp and we agreed on Best Western, as usual. Our stay was pleasant, the hotel was spotless, freshly renovated, we had fax in our rooms, which we found very handy. This hotel is conveniently located near Antwerp Market Square, where all restaurants and shops are. Reasonably priced, I totally recommend this hotel.

It was with some trepidation that I booked a room in this hotel, having seen the far from complimentary reviews from many previous visitors, on this site and elsewhere. On arrival, the neighbourhood did not appear particularly inviting, but the hotel itself is clean and well appointed. I had booked a single room via a website (price 76€), this being the only room in town to be had that weekend for less than 100€ (apart from the Tulip, or Capanile as was, beyond Berchem Station and known to me from previous visits as not very comfortable). Many of the smaller hotels in central Antwerp are frankly ghastly (noisy, cramped, dirty ..) But the Best Western Docklands was far better than expected. The room and bathroom looked newly kitted out, the coffee machine on the landing worked at least to the point of producing hot water for a variety of beverages, the bed was comfortable and breakfast was good. There was free wi-fi in the room and an under-utilised computer in the bar. A wide-screen TV offered some 25 channels, few of them in English (Blomberg and Eurosport). Pity no BBC, while ARD, RTE, RAI1 etc were available for the benefit of our Europhone cousins.
The only slight niggles I had were (a) no fridge or mini-bar; (b) one of my two windows did not shut well, which would not have been a problem, had there not been a meeting of the Antwerp Insomniacs Society right outside at 1.30 in the morning, members of which fraternity appeared to have committed themselves to forego normal speech in favour of shouting, inevitably becoming increasingly hoarse as they did so.
The area appears safe enough; many streets are cobbled (leave the stilettos at home), but there are lots of cosy bars & eating places in the vicinity and it is only 10 minutes to the fantastic new museum (MAS) by the river.

I stayed one night at the Docklands hotel in Antwerp because I could not get a reservation in the hotel I usually stay in when in Antwerp. I will definitely come back here. The hotel is fairly new in a district in Antwerp which is completely being renewed and rebuild. There are bars and (good) restaurants quite close to the hotel, free parking is available around the hotel. The rooms are nicely furnished, comfortable beds. Bathroom is a bit small, no bath, but I don't use a bath anyway, a shower is good enough for me. There is free Wifi in the room, with a good strong signal. About 15 minutes walk brings you to the center of Antwerp, the city hall and all the restaurants and bars. But, as mentioned above, less than 5 minutes walk brings you to some excellent restaurants.
The breakfast in the hotel is good, staff is helpful and friendly.
The hotel is easily reached from the Antwerp 'Ring', about 5 minutes by car.
