Nice place, a bit dusty upon our arrival. Nice to have a key that allows to get in the hotel without time constraints and also the possibility of checking in/out at anytime. The city bike service is really helpful to reach the major train stations without having to take busses or taxis.

This property is centrally located near everything. The room had been redone, yet someone had peeled back the paint right next to one of the beds to reveal black mold on the wall. The mini split could not cool the room. It wasn’t really working.

The Hotel National Antwerp is the best value hotel we have stayed in throughout Europe. The rooms are a good size (you can open a suitcase on both sides of the bed), you can open a window and get fresh air, the amenities are good, and best all, all items in the bathroom work!! Great shower, the toilet flushes and the basin sink is not clogged. Amazing!! And the staff were very helpful too. Well done.

It is a nice, comfortable and clean hotel, very well located in the centre of Antwerp. The staff are very helpful and attentive but sadly have a policy of having no staff after 7pm. This means rowdy guests can run amok in the hotel, causing no end of disruption in the evening, hence zero sleep. Will not be returning which is a shame as I have stayed here many times.

Such a nice stay!

I'm surprised this hotel, so nice and located in the centre of the city, is so affordable. It's such a nice place where to stay. The room is small, but very well equipped, even with an espresso machine on the desk. The bed is very comfortable. It's only 10 mins walk from the cathedral and all the main attractions.

Great experience

That was a great place just to sleep. The receptionist was also friendly. On the other hand, the hotel located in the city centre. These are the advantages of that hotel. In my opinion, it's worth staying there.

Kyle

Disliked: Cleanliness
So to start, we checked in at 3:15 (check in time is 3:00) and while we were unpacking we had someone scan their key card and walk into our room which thankfully we were fully clothed and not indecent, she apologized but said she was checking to see if the room was cleaned or not… which I found weird as it was passed check in time. The room was full of scuffed paint on the walls, roughly patched holes on the wall, brutally scuffed flooring, the bed was not properly made (we literally had to put the fitted sheet on ourselves as the cleaners just laid it roughly on the mattress, the coffee maker was messy with coffee stains going up the wall behind it, not the greatest cleaning job. Another concern is there is absolutely zero noise separation in the building, we can hear our neighbors whispering beside us! And every time someone closed the door to their room it sounded like it was our door opening and closing, it was really hard to have quiet time for sleeping with the no noise cancelling walls. Then at the end of our stay, check out time is 12:00 noon, we were getting ready to leave at 11:45 and the cleaner pushed to get into our room which we told the front desk staff about and she reassured that check out was at 12:00 and shrugged off our concern about people randomly entering our room twice..Overall a solid 3/5 stars as the location is great!
