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.

Do not ever stay here. Complete nightmare

The apartment was in really bad share: paint peeling off the walls, bathroom with a strong smell of sewage and heater wouldn't work. To make things worse, we were woken up at 5:30 am by a crazy drunk who apparently got a key and started knocking on every single room and trying doors. Completely insane

The property is located at the old city of Antwerp. It’s a 7-minute walk to the Groenplaats train station. It’s also very close the the Our Lady Cathedral and have so many dining options around the area. The hotel is clean and simple and you get more than the value of the price that you’ve paid for. There was a little issue with check in because I arrived late and there’s no one in the front desk past 8pm. For an international traveller who has no access to a European phone number, it’s a bit challenging when you arrive late. I hope the management will provide more options for travellers like me. Other than that, the hotel is great.

Liked: Staff & service
This hotel was just okay. The staff was very nice and the parking garage right next door make parking our car easy. The location, in terms of proximity to the sights in Antwerpt, was very good - just a block or so away. The room however was very basic, at best. No frills at all but the price was right. Our main issue was the noise factor later in the day. There was no air conditioning in the room so we needed to open the window. The hotel must be on a main drive into town because later in the evening it was Very noisy. The cars were driving fast, honking their horns well into the night. I probably wouldn't stay here again.

A Nice Hotel Next to the Old Town

Overall, the room was good. The beds were comfortable, the shower had hot water, and the toilet was in a separate little area from the shower, which was very convenient (though there was no sink in with the toilet, that was with the shower). The neighborhood was great, there was plenty of things to see and do nearby, and it was very close to the old town. And the breakfast was very good. On the negative side. The floor was slightly dirty when we arrived. There was no shower curtain for the shower (even though there was a bar and rings for one... and when I asked, they said they would fix it, but never did), so the floor got wet every time anyone showered. And it looked like they tried to use regular sheets on the mattresses instead of fitted sheets, but they were not well made so those came undone very quickly when we slept. Still a very good hotel. I definitely would recommend it, especially for the money.

Great location, remote check in

Hotel’s location is great and the decor is modern and clean. There is no one at reception from 20:30 and you should call a number once you arrive. The person on the other side of the line was lovely but I think 20:30 is too early to close reception. The room card left for me didn’t work and I the person had to let me in remotely and gave me accent that the electronic key app. I was a little concerned it wasn’t going to work if I went out and only tried it the following day. It didn’t seem to work. Another guest was also having problems with that. Thats a good idea to reduce costs but I don’t think technology is there yet. Another note on reception, they didn’t seem to be there very often during the day either. Anyway, this is just a little glitch. The hotel is basic but really nice, clean and a great value for money. I would definitely stay there again

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!

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.

Das Hotel ist in die Jahre gekommen, Sauberkeit im Bad war verbesserungswürdig. Personal freundlich, aber keine Reception nach 19:00 Uhr.

7時を過ぎた場合、自分でカウンターのパネルを使ってチェックイン、支払い、キー発行をしないとならない。到着時間をメールしてあるのだから事前に教えて欲しかった。入り口の張り紙に従って電話をして、少し待っててとの返事で15分外で待ち、宿泊客がエントランスを開けてくれたのでロビーで待つこと15分、再度電話すると、行けない。自分でチェックインしてください。合計で45分とても疲れた。部屋はきれいだが、床が汚くて スリッパが欲しかった。 バスルームのアメニティーはシャンプーのみ。地元のおしゃれコスメショップのものらしく悪くないが、何故か洗面台もシャンプーのみ。 コーヒーメーカー、水、ドライヤーがあり良い。冷蔵庫、金庫無し。タオルは洗濯されていて問題無いが古く黒ずんでいて、顔を拭くのに抵抗感…。立地は申し分ない。朝食は1F併設カフェで選べたようだが、店員は早口で素っ気無く、かろうじて飲み物は聞いてくれたが、自動的にパンケーキとトースト目玉焼き2つ、オレンジジュース。隣の席の人がサラダとパンケーキだったので 翌日は、トースト目玉焼きとサラダと言ったが、目玉焼き3つとトーストだけ来て、もう面倒だったので良しとした。感じが悪いわけではないけど、親切では無かった。レセプションの男性はニコニコで感じが良かった。しかし、チェックインは自分でしたので、もはや絡みは無かった。

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.

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.
