August

I had high expectations from this hotel due to the great reviews and photos and they were all met. It's a beautiful, minimalistically, modern yet luxurious hotel. First of all, it smells absolutely gorgeous.. As you enter you get this beautiful smell. The staff are lovely and friendly. We came here after a long drive, and what a beautiful place to arrive to. The room is very comfortable and I had a very good night sleep. I get dust allergies, here I didn't feel a thing so excellent cleanliness. The bathroom has Le Labo toiletries which are super luxurious and smells amazing. I was really amazed that they had small and large slippers. I have small feet so it's the first time that slippers in a hotel fit me! I didn't get a chance to try their restaurant, because it was fully booked. I had some bar snacks and they were delicious. I also had breakfast, which was good but I wasn't too impressed. I think a hotel like this should try and have some fresh fruit juices and more choice but I know there is always room for improvement :-) I didn't get a chance to see the spa, but I had a peek from the window and it looked clean and lovely. The hotel also rents out bikes for €10 each ( didn't get to try them because I wanted to explore on foot). There are a few restaurants around so it's walkable distance to nice places to eat. The area is quiet and lovely. S I will certainly return again for a longer stay and try the spa too. The whole vibe of this place is Belgian chic. Luxurious and elegant and not in your face kind of style. The building is beautifully renovated and the whole place has a very chill out and cool vibe. If you are dithering about booking here, don't. Go for it and have a great time!

I was looking for a hotel near Antwerp with a good wellness area and a good restaurant to spend a relaxing Friday evening with my wife. I book the hotel and then the bad surprises start coming. First, the restaurant was fully booked two weeks in advance! Imagine the joy of booking a hotel with a restaurant precisely to avoid going out of the hotel and then having to anyway go out and look for one, in a cold December evening. Second, the sauna/wellness area not only proposes a series of relatively expensive trea**ents (which is completely normal, every hotel has to make a profit), but actually charges you close to a hundred euros an hour to use the sauna! This is normally included in the accommodation, (which is not cheap either). On top of that, the sauna only accommodates one couple at a time, so, guess what? The only free spot on that Friday was .... the following Saturday after check. Thanks but no thanks! So, my advice: if you're interested in either wellness or dining in, don't make a non-refundable booking and check out first their availability.

Small unique hotel with nice unique excellent interior designed by Vincent van Duysen. Convenient car parking, nice stylish quiet neighborhood. Good quality food and beverage, nice breakfast. Very friendly staff, nice garden and library ...
