But I didn't feel concerned for my safety at all. Just the usual exterior train station shenanigans. Beautiful lobby with a nice bar and plenty of lounge space. Lovely staff. So helpful. Great rate for a big clean room. Huge bathroom. Nice Nespresso machina. The pool is quite lovely. Of course this changes in a minute when the crappy guests show up. I took advantage of both Hammam and sauna. REALLY enjoyed until previously mentioned crap guests joined. Oh well. Always the case. No fault of hotel. What is their fault is that hallways outside room stink, like hot rotten eggs. So gross. Probably old carpets. My only real complaint!

Design is beautiful and modern, the breakfast is delicious, huge, and affordable (the croissants are the best I have ever had - beating out even parisian ones - try combining the strawberry jam and the brie on the included cheese/meat plate to make a sweet salty delight). The staff is super friendly and fairly attentive by Euro standards. We stayed in the Sensual Room, which has a double seater whirlpool tub, and large windows to the square. The room was beautiful, the bath fantastic, and the decor is ultra modern. The one big issue is that the windows don't open, and the room steams up. I'd read about this in reviews and thought it would be fine, but on our last day the AC stopped working, and we literally opened the door to the hallway because we were sweating. Also, the sink is flat, so water sits in the bottom of it, and they could use more towel racks. Design trumped functionality a little bit - but as my 5 stars attest, I still think this place is fantastic. We absolutely love this place!

Note that it's not an American breakfast with eggs and bacon. They have salami, ham, bread, cheese, yogurt, fruit, cereals , juice, and coffee. The rooms on the back side facing the water and the Mas are very quiet. The staff was all very friendly and super helpful. Like some hotels in Europe, they are on a dual-climate system. That means on a certain day, the hotel flips a switch and the system in your room (and the whole hotel) goes from being AC to being heat. I checked in my room and thought it was warm. So I turned what I thought was the AC all the way up and left the room. Big mistake! When in Europe always ask about the climate control systems! The window does open, but only about an inch due to a regulation. The beds were good, not great, but better than some of my other hotels. By European standards the room is huge. Staff was very friendly and super helpful. Unlike some hotels, the free wifi has good throughput. Definitely a great option when staying in Antwerp. Be sure to ask the hotel the best route to get to old town, as the small red light district is in between, but easily avoided.

I am a new fan of the Ramada Plaza in Antwerp! The Ramada Plaza is going through some renovation…read moreat the moment, but it is still a lovely hotel to stay over night. It is situated in the business community of Antwerp. The Ramada has a small gym, nice sauna, and night club attach to it. I was too tired to try out the night club, so I guess that I will have to come back for that next time. The rooms were spacious, comfortable and designed well. I love the neighborhood, it had a nice residential feel to it , despite it being located in the business community. I was very happy with my room and the hotel. My Dutchman appreciated the spa very much so.... The only thing that I felt needed improvement was the breakfast. So not worth 15 euros a person, but if you are stuck there on a Sunday, it maybe your only option, because I did not see too many places open so early in Antwerp. The weather was fabulous, we got the chance to take a lovely stroll through the park next door and enjoy a lovely meal around the corner from the hotel. The Italian Restaurant Brusketta was phenomenal, if you are dining at this hotel you must have dinner there. I love this Italian restaurant! The hotel, customer service, neighborhood, and location was ideal for me.

Due to my enforced stay without luggage (the airline cancelled my flight home after my…read morethere-and-back business trip), I was prepared to be cross and difficult, but the staff were excellent in responding to my needs, from the moment of handing me a disposable toothbrush as I checked in. Nice big rooms with good bathroom and comfortable bed, but the first thing I noticed was the lack of a fluffy bathrobe. However, one was delivered to my room about 90 seconds after I'd phoned housekeeping to request one. Someone else arrived promptly to fix the heating soon after (it was freezing in the room). When I woke in the early hours of the following morning to discover my phone battery was empty, the receptionist recharged it for me (thank goodness for the fluffy bathrobe). They also called me a cab so that I could make my way to Brussels Eurostar for a quick getaway back to the office. The only gripe was with room service - why do so many hotels think it's OK to serve a hot meal on a cold plate (and with no cover)? Apart from that, full marks to them. PS I have no idea how expensive this hotel is, as the airline paid for it.

This hotel is located right across from the train station. I mean literally. You will see it…read moreright when you walk out the door. Super convenient if you are carrying a lot of luggages. When you walk in, you have to either take the stairs to get to the registration area or take the elevators. Mind you, this is Europe, so the elevators will only fit 2 people with luggages. Breakfast is included and they do ask that you choose the time you will be eating breakfast. As a Hilton Gold member, they gave me 2 drinks (soda, water, beer, wine) to choose from. The room is a little small, but big enough for 2 people. Bathroom was a good size and the shower was fine. If you are a Hilton member and do not have your room cleaned during your stay, they will credit you 500 points. Since we were there for only 2 nights, we opted for that and hung the sign on the door to not have it cleaned. There is a small safe in the room, but it didn't work at all. So that was the other reason why we didn't have the room cleaned. There are no mini fridges. It's just a basic room for you to sleep in. At night, they do lock the front doors and you will have to use the call box and verify your name and room number and someone will buzz you in. That's nice and all, but just be aware that there might be people hanging around the station that might follow you in. I saw a couple of people in the lobby area charging up their phones when I got back at night. They seemed harmless, but you never know.

Super location being right across the street from the train station. They offer €29 / day parking…read morewhen there are 2 parking garages close by (like a 3 min walk) for €18-20 / day. Needless to say we used the close by garage Room temp was weird in that we could not set it on a specific temperature but only -3 degrees from the current temp & that fluctuated throughout the night, depending on the outside temp. Why not let guests set a specific number? But the rooms were comfy & if you chose not to have room cleaned you got free coupons for the bar - that was an extra bonus Welcomed with Mimosas.
