Hotel berhampiran Fort 5 di Edegem

Het was helaas een zeer teleurstellende ervaring. Denk niet dat we iets tegen België hebben. Integendeel in Antwerpen zijn we dit weekend uitstekend geslaagd voor bruidschoenen voor mijn as echtgenote en 's avonds hebben we heerlijk en gezellig gegeten in restaurant Zin in Edegem. Echter verleid door de 8.8 waardering had ik een suite in hotel Ter Elst gereserveerd. Op zich was het een ruime suite alleen wel wat kaal. Ik. Erwacht dan ook wat glaswerk om uit te kunnen drinken en niet wegwerp plastic bekertjes. Neem dan fraaie papieren. Vervolgens bleek de linkerkant kant van het tweepersoons bed in tweeen gebroken! Duidelijk zichtbaar en voelbaar. Bij de receptie was de eerste reactie dat het jammer was en er helaas geen oplossing voorhanden was. Uiteraard nam ik daar geen genoegen mee. Nadat de man na enig aandringen mee was gegaan kwam er toch een nieuw bed. Toen wij na dat heerlijke diner op onze kamer terug kwamen was dat geregeld. We hadden het wel zo leuk gevonden een kleine geste voor het ongemak aan te treffen. Helaas. Verder wel goed geslapen. Toen naar het horror ontbijt. Allereerst geen borden en vorken. Wij houden dan van scrambled eggs met bacon. Helaas op. Dat lag in de hete lucht oven op te warmen. Voor €20,- p.p. verwacht ik toch echt vers gebakken knapperige bacon en scrambled eggs! Die scrambled eggs hebben wij niet gezien. Vanwege het gebrek aan borden hebben mij vrouw en ik het ruim een half uur later samen met 1 bord met daarop twee half lauwe opgepiepte kant en klare omeletten met slappe opgewarmde plakjes bacon moeten doen. De jus d'Orange kwam uit een pak.en de koffie uit een thermoskan vond ik echt niet lekker. Bij de gratie gods kreeg ik een espresso. Ook het brood waren opgewarmde sneden uit de diepvries. Het was echt niet overdreven druk. Bovendien was iedereen relaxed vanwege het extra uurtje wintertijd. Bij het uitchecken werd ook niet gevraagd of we het naar onze zin hebben gehad. Wij komen daar nooit meer terug!

a very pleasant and well situated hotel. obliging staff ensured an enjoyable visit. a well appointed room that was clean, together with a bathroom that complemented. this is mmy second visit and i have no qualms about recommending it.

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!!

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

The history of Castle Solhof dates back to 1414 and at one time it was surrounded by moat and castle walls, the moat and turrets of the castle still survive today. Now a hotel the present owners bought the Castle in 1990. The entrance and cobbled courtyard are very impressive, with an ornate fountain / pond and neatly pruned hedges. At check-in the receptionist did not seem at all bothered about Covid and said I should remove my mask as it was not needed, even though I had just arrived from the UK and driven through France! I had a Superior Twin Room (#19) with two large beds. The room was nicely furnished, with maybe a table too many, and I loved the tall windows over looking the front courtyard. One of the main reasons I booked this hotel was for its free courtyard parking and I could see my car safely from my room. I had no meal plan at the hotel so I can't comment on that. My room was very warm and I couldn't see how to control the heating, so I opened both windows! The bed was comfortable and the room clean, but I do hate a shower in a bath with a clingy shower curtain. My room was €99 booked via Expedia.

The hotel in conveniently located just across from the train station and although the rooms are small, they are nicely decorated. I would give this hotel 5 out of 5, BUT I had to pay to store my luggage and honestly it was the first time I was charged for this. I don’t recommend staying here if you are traveling with a lot of luggage. My room also wasn’t cleaned once during my stay, but that’s ok.

Great place to stay! Centrally located, easy check-in/out, spotlessly clean (rooms cleaned daily), lovely and helpful staff, and very reasonably priced. We used the lockers on our last day to store our luggage, which was really useful. Will visit here again!

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

Fantástico hotel, céntrico y fácil acceso… el único PERO es que el espacio wellness no lo pudimos utilizar porque estaba full reservado, podrían darle prioridad a los huéspedes del hotel, por lo demás todo bien

2 rooms connected with a door was a great way to have a group of people of 5 together at all times! Both kitchens had everything you ever needed to make yourself a perfect meal. Oven/Micro, fridge, dishwasher, capsule coffee maker. Fully loaded with tools and dishes! The beds were terrific! Fluffy and smooth. The bathrooms were great, the showers had an overhead faucet and a handheld one. The pressure was perfect. The receptionists were well prepared and very pleasant, and we got all the info for a perfect stay. Only downside with having two rooms was that we couldn't figure out how to make the door between the two rooms open. So we used some clever engineering to solve this issue. We never asked about this issue, because we fixed it with a doorstopper of our own. The price for 3 night stay was very well perfect! Will definitely come back again.
