Hotel berhampiran Paleis op de Meir (Koninklijk Paleis), Antwerp

Great position, little awkward to check in due to it being all electronic, but there is someone to help out, the rooms are clean but have no tv's or kettles downstairs there is a kitchen to use, right next door is a car park 2.1 meter height ltd

The least to say is that this hotel has known better days ... very long ago! The rooms are gloomy lit, furniture and curtains outaged, floorcarpet with numerous dirty spots, bathroom is extremely basic and the worst is the heating: I arrived in the room at 6 p.m. and the heating was off, temperature was probably around 15 or 16° - only after a couple of hours it was better, but though put on maximum, I hardly could get more than 18° during the night. Breakfast, for 23€, was spartan; scrambled eggs and bacon were cold.

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...

Stayed in the the Hotel Indigo for 2N whilst visiting Antwerp. The hotel is excellently located, within a stone's throw from the Grand Central Station - so ideal for accessing local destinations. The rooms are excellent quality - with good quality furnishings. The only exception to this is the bathroom mirror, which has a light which dangles from cord in front of the mirror, rather than being placed at a spot where the light effectively illuminates your face as you look in the mirror. Fortunately, I always bring my own illuminating mirror when I go travelling, for this kind of eventuality! The service was very good, and I like the touch where you can opt out of having your room cleaned and towels exchanged if staying 2N or more, in return for a free drinks voucher. The price is good also, was certainly among the more reasonably priced hotels in the city. Would definitely return!!! 100%.

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!!

This is a really a nice four star’s standard hotel with good breakfast and excellent service from the check in front desk, just 2 minutes walking distance from Antwerp central station. This area is easier for any tourist visiting the city centre of Antwerp and even the China town is nearby. If you have to travel from there to France or Netherlands or Germany, there are a good railway connection every 1-2 hours. Really suitable for backpackers or some relaxing plan holidays

The location is perfect as this the hotel is just beside the Antwerp Centraal Station which has easy access for trips to the Airport aa early as 5am. Hotel is quite new with fully digital control of the room. The problem encounterd during our overnight stay is that the aircon cannot cool enough, i think they were in the process of fixing it. You cannot open the windows as it is fully sealed so you cannot use the outside air to help cool the room. Value for money stay.

Hotel funcional, puro estilo de la cadena Ibis. Ubicación ideal, en la trasera de la estación central, a las puertas del barrio judío. Excelente ubicación para conocer Amberes y moverte a pie. El desayuno es correcto, con un poco de todo y bien atendido. Colchón como siempre en Ibis, muy bien. Habitación austera, pero compensa para dormir después de un día de caminata por la ciudad.

Hotel was clean and comfortable, and only a 1/2hr walk from city centre. Night clerk Berkay went above and beyond with late night service, ordering pizza when all local restaurants closed after late return from nearby event. Life saver!

I had a very negative experience with the front desk staff that checked me in this past week. My husband and I booked a stay at this hotel back in April for 4 nights. They sent me an email stating that they weren't able to charge my credit card on the reservation, which made sense because we had forgotten we had just received a new card to replace the expired one. They asked that I look at my account, so they can charge a new card. If I failed to do that in 24 hours, then my booking would be cancelled. Approx 13 hours of receiving that email, I went in and updated the credit card information on the account and sent them an email confirming I did so. When I arrived at this hotel to check in a month later (which was this past week), the front desk staff told me that the reservation was cancelled. I showed them the email that they sent me and the one I had sent to them. I also showed them my original reservation number. They looked into it for a while, but they told me that ultimately the reservation was cancelled so they can't do anything. They were also all booked up on one of the four nights we were supposed to stay there, so they could only check us in for 2 nights (Thurs-Fri). Up to this point, I was confused but I wasn't upset. I understand things can happen, and I was eager to work this out. However, what really pushed me over the edge was the fact that the front desk staff showed no empathy for the situation I was in. I told them that I never received any email that my reservation was cancelled. I even asked if there were any other alternative hotels, as we were traveling from outside the country and did not know the area well. The staff person I was talking to responded with very little attempt at professionalism, and instead told me that we should solve this ”later” as I was holding up the line. I believe her words were along the lines of, ”you should turn around, look at the line.” When I asked her when ”later” would be, she let out a small laugh which was a very confusing response to what I thought was a valid question. This is when I was starting to feel incredulous. I wanted her assistance, but I got rudeness and condescension in return. I tried my best not to raise my voice even though I was getting frustrated, and I told her that I felt I was getting penalized for something that wasn't my fault. Still, there was no attempt to help me with the situation, and I felt like I was being waved away. At the very end of our interaction, the staff person told me that if there is a room that opens up on Sat they would contact me to let me know. I asked how they would contact me on updates (would it be through the hotel phone? My international number? Call, email, or text?) and I received a very frustrated look and a sigh in return, not a helpful response. I am still unsure why she acted this way, when I genuinely wanted to understand how I would be contacted. (And they never actually contacted me... even to tell me they were still all boo
