Maison Nationale City Flats & Suites

We stayed three very happy nights at Masion Nationale for a city visit to Antwerp. The location is perfect, with the city center and cathedral a quick walk in one direction and the trendy Zuid neighborhood a quick walk in the other direction. All the main museums are walking distance, but there's a tram stop right downwstairs if you want to give your feet a rest. Our room was big and comfortable, with plenty of space for a rollaway bed for our daughter. There's a reasonably priced parking right across the street if you come by car. The first morning we went to the cafe next door they use for breakfast. It was ok, but the next mornings we ate in our a room (they provide plates and cutlery along with the fridge, microwave and coffee machine) with stuff bought at a supermarket across the street and some very good local bakeries. The couple that run the place are friendly, helpful and accomodating. They are not always there but you can come and go at all hours with an entry code. There is an elevator in case you have luggage. We were really happy with the place. The only quibble I could think of is that they could have more electrical plugs. That's really all I can think of. Just a note: Superior suites are on the backside and Deluxe on the street. We had a deluxe. There's really not much of a view and while there is some traffic, it wasn't enough to prevent a very good night's sleep.

We spent three days in Antwerp, one of Europe's most under-rated cities. We found Masion Nationale to be a perfect place to stay - a quick walk to the historic center in one direction, and the trendy Zuid district in the other direction. Almost every major museum is within a halfhour walk and there's also a tram stop right downstairs to go further afield. Our room was super comfortable and large enough to easily accomodate an extra bed for our daughter. There's a parking and a grocery store right across the street, and plenty of places to eat and drink right nearby. We had breakfast the first morning in the establishment they use a block away, but the next mornings we ate in the room (fridge, microwave, nespresso machine, plates and silverware provided) so that we could sample some good local bakeries. The couple that run the place are extremely friendly and helpful. The superior rooms are away from the street. We had a deluxe room facing the street, and while there was some noise from passing cars it was very very light. I had no trouble sleeping. I really can't think of a single quibble, except perhaps the rooms could use a few more electrical outlets.

Very easy access to the property from the train station. It only takes 15 minutes to get to Maison Nationale. Tom and Karen are very easy to communicate with. Tom was welcoming and explained a lot about the city. The rooms and the front door have a code. Easy to access. A spacious quiet clean unit with lots of room. They have a refrigerator and a microwave that are very convenient because there's a market across the street.We booked the room with breakfast included and it is served at a coffee bar close by. Breakfast was great!! Well worth it! They did our laundry, (same day service) for a very reasonable price.

A perfectly located hotel for exploring Antwerp. The hotel is small, but the rooms are large, comfortable and uniquely designed. The staff was very helpful and welcoming, and I definitely would come back. A parking garage is conveniently located less than a block away.
