“Not bad, not a luxury hotel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 October 2011

Friendly staff, always ready to help with any thing that comes up. The location is very convenient, specially in Antwerp where everything is walking distance. The decoration of the main floor is wonderful, too bad they have not continued with this style in the bedrooms.

The bedroom (we booked a Jr Suite) was not what we had expected (for a luxury hotel and for a 400€ night room) as was quite small+very basic arranged. We asked for a king size bed (as they gave us two twin beds without previous notice) and they kind of had trouble to find a solution (which they finally add a mattress to join the two beds).

The staff assistant who managed the check in upon our arrival, suggested a restaurant called "LE JOHN" which was not good at all; it seems that they have kind of a "deal" between the hotel and the restaurant, which I find not honest for the guest.

Its not a bad hotel, however if you are used to high-end hotels, this is definitely not one.

Dear,
Sometimes hard criticism can be more helpful than a thousand lovely words in a guest book, but the criticism has to be correct. We have no deal with restaurant Le John, in fact we have no deal with any other restaurant in Antwerp. We are very objective and we always try to make some good suggestions to our guests, without any commercial aspect. Sometimes it works out perfectly, sometimes it doesn't. Kind regards.

“A Jem”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 July 2011

A beautiful well run boutique hotel . Rooms are large, luxurious and tastefully furnished. Ours overlooked both the street on one side and the quite courtyard on the other. The breakfast although not cheap is fantastic. The staff were all more than pleasant and helpful. A great central location.

“Wonderful Boutique Hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 May 2011
2
people found this review helpful

We spent four nights in the Witte Lelie, and enjoyed our stay enormously. The public areas of the hotel are beautifully decorated. There is a peaceful courtyard - a perfect quiet spot where one can relax at the end of the day, weather permitting. We found the service excellent. All the staff were accommodating and knowledgeable about Antwerp. Our room was large and comfortable, with a modern bathroom and stall shower. However, there was no ideal spot for reading, and the lighting could be improved.

Breakfast was terrific. However, when we finally saw the invoice after checking out, we learned that we had been charged €25 per person each day. This was never mentioned during our stay, and the hotel did not adjust the charge when we brought this to management's attention. That's a very expensive breakfast, even by the standards of European boutique hotels!

Overall, we would recommend this hotel very highly.

Room Tip: Avoid street facing rooms due to construction.

“Boutique Bliss”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 October 2010

person found this review helpful

Stayed only one night in this quiet hotel whilst in transit from the South of France, but we would stay again, and definately recommend for a luxury weekend away. Gorgeous bedroom and bathroom, top of the range bathroom products, beautiful dining/breakfast room. Car parking underneath the hotel, but a fee is charged. Friendly, helpful staff.

“lovely, but...”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 September 2010

person found this review helpful

It is a beautiful and stylish house in a quiet street and our room was big and very cosy. But......for a hotel in that sort of price range I would expect a better service and attention to detail. It has a lovely atmosphere, almost B&B like, but overall I was a bit disappointed and glad that we had booked it at a special rate and not their usual prices.
