Hotels Near Biserica Ortodoxă Română Antwerpen in Antwerp

We have reserved this hotel using a Bongo check and we have been pleasantly surprised by this new hotel, very conveniently located within a few hundred metres from the Central Train Station in Antwerp, that provides for everything a traveller needs in terms of accommodation and is at the top of technology as it states: it's connected. The staff is very nice and helpful and we really had a great stay. I warmly recommand it. And, as a little bonus, they are very accommodating when it comes to the four paw members of our families.

The hotel is located 5 mins walk from Central Station (down the side, not towards the front), so great when arriving by train. Easy to walk to the main parts of town. Check in was at a couple of tables to the left of the entrance. Had a clean twin room and even after we pushed the 2 beds apart properly, there was plenty of space. Large bathroom with plenty of space around and under the sink for personal toiletries, although nice hotel toiletries (hand wash, moisturizer, shampoo and conditioner) were supplied. For some reason we had 2 shampoos in the walk in shower and when we told housekeeping when going out and asked for shower gel, we were left with another shampoo. This was not an issue though as we'd brought our own stuff so just used that instead. Complimentary bottle of still water provided every day which was nice, although the tap water is perfectly clean and drinkable. Flavoured (fresh mint or fruit) water, apples and gummies provided on a table near the entrance/exit, which was a nice touch. Staff very friendly and helpful. We didn't have the breakfast at the hotel as there are so many other options nearby in the town and our main reason for going to Antwerp was to eat locally.

For the most part the hotel is nice enough, especially for the price. Location is about 10 mins walk from a train station, which is one stop away from Antwerp Central. The staff at check in are friendly and professional. The big cons for us were these two situations; 1) When we got to our room and started settling down, I spotted underwear (previous occupants') which had found its way under one of the furniture in the room. It turned out to be clean but we informed reception on our way out into the city and they quickly apologised and had someone sent to our room to clear that out. - Cleaners could do a better job giving one last check when cleaning rooms between occupants, though I do understand that the days we were there was when the hotel was fully booked. But still. 2) That night, around 11.30pm when we were in our room with the window shut, we started hearing people shouting like hooligans from outside on the street -- so we shouted at them from our room o keep quiet as it was late and shut the window again. Then we started hearing these guys (4 or 5 of them) shout at us to go down and fight them (?) and asking us what our room number was (??). We also saw them trying to count the floors and windows. Obviously we didn't tell them, but we informed reception. About an hour later, there was VERY loud banging on our door and shouting for us to come out, once again we called reception and after a while the shouts stopped. We didn't feel very safe even to go out to the smoking area, so we called reception for some kind of help or assurance (and later on went down to talk to the person at reception at the time (the night reception, named Wim) to which we were told that; - Ppl shouting at us from the street below for our room number to go down to fight, & the people banging on our door to come out and fight was *apparently* not the same ppl. - Ppl banging on our door, was apparently a drunkard banging on everyone's door, and may not even have been a customer of theirs (which is extremely unlikely). - That we shouldn't have shouted back at them to keep quiet, because apparently it was fine to be shouting on the street directly outside the hotel up till 2am. The entire time he didn't apologise for the disturbance or reassure us even once that we would be safe - only said that they could help to call the police if something happened. -- Basically the night reception was really bad, and I was honestly worried for our safety that first night. Wasn't great.

Came by the other day and it was a decent experience, although with some bizarre quirks. Booked direct for the ”Executive Family Studio with Kitchen” and the front desk agent printed out a contract with a ”Deluxe Studio.” When I inquired about the difference, another employee quickly chimed in that I ”got upgraded” and my original room had no kitchen?!? As the ”Executive Studio with Kitchen” has kitchen in the name, I inquired a second time, and the employee raised her voice saying that the room was the same?!? A 3rd employee eventually came in, after reviewing their own website, and started talking about the Penthouse suite (completely irrelevant?!?). Attempted to use the laundry room located behind the secure door using my keycard and had to answer 21 questions to the front desk agent with my room number, my full name, and the company I was representing (all with a load of dirty laundry in my arms), which was completely bizarre. At 7 am, the agent claimed that someone on my floor booked a taxi?!? (also completely irrelevant?!?) The studio itself was pretty spacious, although with some quicks. For example, the bathroom was dated, unlike the pictures on the website. More importantly, it was bizarre to have a handheld shower installed on the long side of the bathtub, vs the short side?!? ...also might have been helpful to use a curved shower curtain to make showering less claustrophobic... Water pressure was usable although the shower curtain had a strange smell... Highlights of the studio included the comfortable bed, although slightly lumpy in areas, with quality sheets and towels. The kitchen itself was modern and fully stocked, including 2 bottles of water in the kitchen. The ”welcome gift” appeared to be the 2 dishwashing tablets and manual dishwashing liquid... Booking direct, the confirmation indicated that there would be a ”welcome drink upon arrival” Perhaps the 2 bottles of water in the fridge was it?!? Other anomalies included super dark lighting at night. The lighting was insufficient in the dining area, which made it quite dark to work and read in. There was a freestanding light that helped provide additional lighting in the sleeping area. It was also odd to see that the room number listed on my in room telephone was different from the one on my door?!? The laundry room was complimentary and fantastic! There was also complimentary laundry detergent. A wash takes 2-3 hours and a dry takes 1+ hour. The signage against the wall with instructions on how to use the washing machine didn't match the actual washing machine which was confusing at best...

Friendly counter and allowed to go to my twin room 4 hours early. Very clean hotel with towels and water supplied. No kettle but I think this must Bea Belgian thing. The station is opposite but it is 20 min walk to the old town. Fine for me but some may want to be nearer. The walk there is the main shopping street. Overall I think it was great value. As a note to other guests, and I always write this, please be more considerate when talking in the corridors especially before 8am. Whisper, your voice echoes and sound meds like you’re shouting. And don’t allow to doors to slam shut!!

Great location so close to the train station and between 2 subways stations! Service ok, cleanliness ok but could be improved (I can tell that it was clean but not deep on the table, and the soap/shampoo dispenser was kind of broken so it spread all around bathtub)

The hotel is near the Antwerp station. Centraal just across the street. The journey is very convenient. If traveling by train, I recommend it. The room is very spacious. There is a microwave, a kettle, an iron, very complete. Staying in a room for 4 people, it has 2 queen-size beds, very comfortable to sleep, plus there is a dining room with a dining table for 1 more room, very impressed. breakfast is ok But the area is a bit small When there are many people, there will be no seats. When checking in at the hotel, choose a time to go to have breakfast. But it's okay to sit for too long. The receptionist is very cute, give early check-in as well. Next round will definitely use the service again 😊

We had an amazing stay for a night in a superior room at this hotel on a Saturday. Very central location and easy to reach everywhere. Super Clean and new, big bed, great price, pet friendly and very friendly lady on the reception. The hotel is 3 stars but rooms look like 4 stars. Pros: - Super central location not far from station & easy to roam around. - Quick and smooth check in & Check out. - Pet friendly with only 6 euros per night + they gave treats & pot. - Bed is big and firm, albeit can be a bit softer. Comfy pillows. - Super clean room and new facilities. - Wifi is super easy to connect and fast. - Room on the corner had great view on keyserlei & the grand station. - Rooms open with a code, not a key also the entrance down. That's safe. - We had no issues with outside noise at all. - Shower had good water pressure and has a glass door, that's something I like. Cons: - The Nespresso machine in our room didn't work, we had coffee out. - Heavy foots steps from the room above (2 times) irritated my dog a bit and made him nervous. - While at shower, I discovered that the bodywash container is fully empty. I had to go out of shower and use the one on the sink. Plus they pump very weirdly and little. Overall, We had a great stay and I will be back for sure if I am back again in Antwerp. Maybe will give their breakfast also a shot the second time.

We are two women in our late 60's and early 70's, we were checked in after 3. We took the elevator then had to go up 6 or 7 stairs lugging our luggage. We get in our room and it was the size of a closet. I called front desk, I was ready to move hotels. We were moved to bigger room, didn't realize the smell wasn't from room not being used, it smelled like sewer gas. The staff came and smelled the room the next day and said they would give us a new room. This one was acceptable. It looked out at train station and ferris wheel. I asked the evening desk clerk a question about catching a train next day. He was very helpful and told me to stop with my info in morning so he could look at it. When I went down this morning, I was met by a young lady with dark hair and a man, Oliver, I told him I was told to stop by desk. He told me, the train station is over there, go ask them. I found most staff friendly, but Oliver rude. Also, the fact that we had to move rooms 3 times. I don't know that I would stay again.

I was a bit sceptic going to the holiday Inn, as I normally don't like big chain hotels. However this holiday inn pleasantly surprised me. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was bigger than expected, superclean and we had a wonderful view on the MAS, which was a definitely a plus. Bed were very good too. No fridge in the room, but possibility to get ice cubes in the lobbyBreakfast was a bit basic, but with the COVID restrictions and also considering the price we paid, it was more then acceptable. Parking was also easy (note I didn't find the elevator to go up, but since we only had a trolley, the stairs were ok). And I absolutely loved the location: about 15min from Groenplaats, 5 min from ”'t Eilandje” and 20min walk from sportpaleis, where we went to an exposition. Going to the sportpaleis was also a nice walk as it went through Parkspoor Noord. Next time I have to go to the sportpaleis or Lotto Arena, I will definitely consider staying there again. Bottom line, for the price we paid, this hotel was excellent. One more tip: I booked directly at the hotel and that was cheaper than through other booking websites
