There really isn’t much fuss about this hotel. There’s a rather small utilitarian lobby, a pretty good breakfast and vey spacious rooms. The Hotel is located at the edge of the Diamond District, 2 blocks away from the Central Train station and 2 blocks away from the main walking street (Meir). I took the train from Brussels Airport and was checked in within 90min. It is very convenient and the prices are usually very reasonable. There is FREE WiFi and I have to stress that the hotel staff was EXTREMELY helpful and rather gracious regarding a late check-out. On the bad side, the main street leading to the train station is being renovated now and there is construction (no noise problem, just an eyesore) but there’s a lot of that currently in Antwerp, and it’s not the Hotel’s issue since it’s not on the main street, but 1 block away. I didn’t give it an "Excellen"t rating because it’s not a “full service” hotel, but I honestly don’t need anything else and can highly recommend this place.
