Bakit Ito Minamahal ng Mga Tao
- Literally across the street from Antwerp Central Station
- Free apples and infused water in the lobby
- Surprisingly spacious Junior Suites for the price
Mabilis na Sumisid: A functional transit hub hotel that relies heavily on its unbeatable location to distract you from the dust bunnies.
Sinuri ng @Weerawonders: I loved how central this spot was! My room was modern and clean, but the real highlight was that incredible night view of the station right from my window. It made the whole stay feel special. Perfect if you want to be in the middle of the action.

Reality check
The 'renovated' rooms are nice, but many guests report stained carpets, moldy grout, and housekeeping that cuts corners.
- You have an early train to catch
- You plan to spend all day exploring and just need a crash pad
- You enjoy watching the city bustle from a safe distance
Kalinisan & Pagpapanatili
6
- Housekeeping: Inconsistent. Daily service happens, but deep cleaning is lacking (dust on baseboards/lamps).
- Bathroom hygiene: Major weak point. Reports of black mold in grout, hair in drains, and stained sinks.
- Maintenance: Tired. Peeling paint, chipped furniture, and 'makeshift' repairs are common complaints.
- Linens & towels: Hit or miss. Some guests report crisp sheets; others find stains or tears.
- Odors & scents: Generally neutral, but some rooms have a lingering musty or drain smell.
