Hotels in de buurt van Michael Kors, Antwerp

If you want staff to do absolutely nothing about someone breaking into your room then this is the hotel for you. I was staying here with my friend in a room on the second floor. Someone tried to break into our room by kicking our door three times. We couldn't reach reception by phone call, I tried texting reception. They messaged us on Whatsapp to not worry and that we are safe even though a person kept trying to break in. They didn't try coming down to our room to check if we were okay. Didn't care about our safety. We then had to call the police and they were taking a long time to get there so we called again only to be told by the 112 operator that the staff weren't letting the police into the hotel. Finally they were let in after our door was being kicked at for an hour. The police were useless since they didn't even check if the area was safe before telling us to just sleep and enjoy our holiday. We wanted to see CCTV footage because there was a camera in our corridor. We went to reception, and a member of staff told us that he had the cctv ready for us because he guessed that we would want to see it. He showed us the recording of the corridor and told us ”see there's no one in front of your door”. But my friend and I noticed that the time stamp was covered by a black rectangle but you can see a bit of the number underneath it. The bottom of the digits could still be seen and clearly read 2 am and not 1 am which is when the incident occurred. When we told him that this is live footage and that we want to see the recording of the 1 am incident, he kept telling us ”no there's no one in front of the door” until he finally admitted to us that this was live footage and that he needs the manager to access the 1 am footage. This seemed sketchy. Why the need to lie about it? We stayed at reception as we were too scared to go back to our room. At around 3 am we decided to try going back. After being in the room for just 10 minutes, someone tried to break down our door again. This time the 112 operator hung up on us and we didn't try calling reception since they proved to be useless. At 3:50am I called a girl from our University course who was on the same floor. She luckily found no one at the door and so we ran down to reception. We stayed at reception all night and didn't sleep. Staff were no help apart from that same staff member offering us ”very stiff alcoholic drinks to help us relax”, that's how he put it, we of course refused but he kept coming back and offering us drinks despite us saying no repeatedly. At around 8 am I saw our lecturer from our course at reception so we went with him to see the cctv footage. At first the manager said that she can't show it to us. When our lecturer said that we'll go to the police then she changed her answer. Before even showing the footage she said ”I looked through the footage earlier and saw that it was a door nearby making the noise because it kept being opened and closed”. We insisted to see the CCTV s

El hotel esta muy céntrico todo queda prácticamente andando, a 4 minutos de la central de trenes de Amberes, justo fuera del hotel esta la estación del autobus Flixbus que lleva y trae del aeropuerto, el centro de la ciudad está a tiro de piedra, justo en la esquina esta una tienda Jumbo con precios accesibles, las habitaciones son pequeñas, cuentan con cafetera e insumos para preparar café, secador de cabello, plancha y tabla de planchar, nos alojamos en la habitación 103 con vista a la opera, el desayuno es muy bueno consta de huevo con tocino, fruta fresca, yogurth, café, té, pan recién horneado, insumos para preparar sandwiches, frutos secos y cereales, ademas se cuenta con opción a preparar waffles, el único inconveniente que durante 6 días solo nos colocaron 1 botella de 500 ml de agua en la habitación y que en el comedor muchas cosas se encuentran colocadas bastante altas y resulta algo incomodo para personas de estatura baja, como sugerencia sería bueno que cuenten con personal que hable español ya que cada vez más las personas que hablamos este idioma visitamos Europa y sería un alago que nuestro idioma se vuelva internacional.

Pros: - decent location; about 7mins walk from the Antwerp Centraal, and 2mins from Flixbus busstop, though in a relatively quiet corner. - they have a small common dining area on the ground floor with microwave, fridge, kettle and vending machines selling snacks and coffee. the coffee machine needs some upkeeping though, and the snacks vending machine was done during our period of stay. Cons: - if you stay on the lower level floors be prepared to keep your curtains closed - the whole room can be seen clearly from outside the hotel. - room has everything you need but can't help feeling like it's hollow, barren and empty; there's barely any interior works done to the room. - no kettle in the room and you will need to deposit 10euros to borrow one.

Had a nice stay at the hotel. It was clean and tidy. Did not use breakfast service. The only point of criticism was that the use of the car park was not notified in advance by the tour company that it was Euro 19 per day. Paid half in the end. There was also no information bulletin in the room about the facilities in the hotel. (safe/breakfast/telephone/lighting/TV remote control/cleaning)

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!!

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.

Small, clean, affordable hotel located next to Central station. The room was basic but cute and comfortable. The beds were comfortable. We had a double bed with a twin bed bunk bed above which was perfect for our family of 3. There’s soap and towels, but no shampoo, hairdryer, kettle, or aircon. The window opens only a few inches, unless you get them to unlock it. We brought a portable fan, so that helped on such a warm day. There’s a Lidl supermarket next door and a cafe a block away. A couple blocks away is the diamond district with an interesting mixture of Hasidic Jews and middle eastern Muslim immigrants. The city is very walkable from here. From the station, the Meir is about 10 minutes walk and the Grote Markt is about 20 minutes.

I thought hard about giving this hotel a 3, but on balance think it is fair. In many respects it could score 4 but crucially the sound proofing and specifically the flooring to the bedrooms is inadequate. We were kept awake an hour the first night until the night receptionist kindly called the room above after midnight to ask them to remove their footwear / stop pacing. The second night closing doors above woke us briefly but then the third night there were comings and goings on our floor between several rooms around 3am for 45 mins and we heard it all. Hopefully the hotel will consider doing further works to mitigate this for future guests. Otherwise we found the hotel / bed comfortable, the mostly continental breakfast was fine (fresh juices, fruit, cereals, breads, meat / cheese & pastries) and the bar food did the job on the last night. Its a 25 min walk into the interesting / lively old town where we spent most of our trip, but reception will call you a taxi that costs around 15 Euros if that is too far or it is raining. MAS is worth a visit including the view from the top.

The view room can see the riverside museum. Very quiet. Suitable for early morning and morning running. Shopping is very convenient. The other aspects of the hotel are normal budget hotels. The rooms are not big. They are clean. Suitable for business trips.

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.
