We had booked a double room online with a request for an additional bed for a child. When we arrived in the evening at the hotel, they had not set up an extra bed but they speedily found an extra bed. There was an awful smell of open drains in the car park so you could not open your bedroom window. We were put into a twin room even though we booked a double room. The Hotel Manager said they do not do double beds and the double rooms are just single beds pushed together. We also had a smoking room that smelt of stale smoke and so did the corridor. We had not requested a smoking room as we assumed all hotels were non smoking now. The hotel room is very sparsly furnished but large. I would rate this as a budget hotel not 4 star as I have stayed in better Premier Inn Hotels(Budget) in the UK. Expensive for what you get.

Positives.
Reasonably clean,
Superb Food at dinner, breakfast OK,
Friendly enough staff,
Excellent leisure facilities
Bar and restaurant away from rooms so rooms quiet.

Negatives.

No mini bar
Rooms dated

Very fit for what I wanted, but could be just a bit better with a facelift in certain areas

A dated seventies-style hotel, not that first appearances should put you off.

Decent check-in, huge room, convenient yet quiet location, but not much else to commend it.

My room was quite clean but looked bare, due to it's size but lack of facilities. The kettle was in the minibar but the socket was under the desk so was difficult to get to. The kettle blew the fuse so the lights went out; I went downstiars for a drink but the bar had a sign on it saying 'closed, there's another bar across the road if you want a drink'.

I thought I'd use the internet computer in the foyer instead but the sign on that said 'out of order'.

Breakfast was awful. Not one table cleared, only one of four bread baskets had any bread in it at 8:15, poor selection of everything.

Ah well.

We stayed in this hotel with a 'Flair'-coupon.
The hotel is not in the city center of Antwerp, but by bus it is easy to reach in about 30 minutes.

After shopping all day, it was great to relax in the sauna. They have 2 bars, a bistro and a restaurant, but we only went to the restaurant to celebrate my birthday. I can only recommend it to everybody. They even put fireworks on my dessert... (I was a bit embarrassed because everyone was looking). After dinner we had a drink in the bar. Apparently they renovated it last year... good choice, very cosy!

The rooms are big and clean, and there was an extensive breakfast with something for everyone.

Special mentioning to the kind reception staff! they really helped us to get to the shops in one piece!
