B in Antwerp

Very good location, beautiful and picturesque area. The old authentic building doesn't have an elevator, which might be inconvenient if you have luggage. There was no one at the reception when I arrived, but the instructions on how to find the key and check in were quite clear and easy to follow. Check-in is suitable for those who don't want to wait long at the reception. The room is incredible, with a huge bed and a bathroom like something out of a movie about empresses. It was a bit chilly, but the complimentary wine left in the room warmed me up. The room is quite spacious and bright. The bed is comfortable, and there are plenty of pillows. The breakfast was excellent; the only issue was a miscommunication. I specified during the reservation that I would be staying alone, but they prepared breakfast for two. However, the staff handled it with understanding, and we found a solution. I was more than satisfied with the breakfast on my birthday.

It feels like the house is old, and the rooms would benefit from some cosmetic repairs.

Me and my daughter enjoyed a nicely decorated room (deluxe nr 2) with open bath which gives it a nice touch. B in Antwerp is situated in an elegant historical building in a lovely area and comes with a very welcoming and friendly host: good communication and our room was ready before check-in time. Also we were welcome to charge our phones for a while in the lounge after check-out time, which was great.

We chose the room (deluxe nr 2) because of the open bath, which we enjoyed, but we were a little surprised by the toilet: no toilet door and no ceiling. I stayed there with my daughter, which was fine, but wouldn't recommend for couples/romantic stay. :) An extra standing mirror would be convenient.

B in Antwerp is a beautiful hotel with spacious rooms, and the centre is very close by and easy to reach. The reason I didn’t gave it 5 stars is because the WiFi accidentally didn’t work. This wasn’t the biggest problem, also because Sharon was really friendly when we contacted her about it. A bigger downside was that because of the building being old, you could hear other people walking and talking on the stairs, going into their room etc. at night. Therefore, I would recommend for the hotel to put up a sign to remember the guests to be aware of their volume after 22.00, and as a guest to bring earplugs.

Een heel mooie en propere kamer. Vlak bij het museum van schone kunsten, bars en restauranten. Een aanrader!

Incredibly friendly staff, spacious luxurious rooms, very accommodating and great location.

Very clean, beautiful interior, nice bathroom, chique ambiance

Bed was not not that comfortable

We got to stay in room 2 and room 6. They were both incredibly beautiful and elegant. The bathtub in room 2 was slightly more comfortable as it affords back support. The rooms have a TV with channels (although they only worked in room 6). We absolutely loved the central positioning of the bathtub, the balcony and the high ceiling of room 2. On the other hand, we appreciated the carpet under the bathtub of room 6. The room also felt bigger in size, has the toilet and sink clearly separated from the bedroom with a door, and seating spaces. The host leaves a wine bottle, chocolate and water in each room, which is fantastic. The lobby has a coffee machine, tea and milk, and chocolate and cookies to have with it. We were definitely addicted to that chocolate haha. Something that really impressed us were the free to use umbrellas in the corridor! Moreover, the host is incredibly fast at replying and she always felt easily accessible to me. She is very lovely and warm too:). Lastly, there are cafes and restaurants in the area, which we were grateful for. Overall, we truly enjoyed our stay!

Overall, we felt that the bed could be comfier if it were not two separate single mattresses put together (as these create a hole in between them which is uncomfortable to lie in). Also hooks to hang our jackets on would have been nice. In room 2, we would have appreciated doors for at least the toilet section. Moreover, we did find it a bit scary to exit the bathtub as it has no carpet under it and there is only little platform space left to put your feet on. For someone who is shorter like me, it was especially tricky. In room 6, we would have appreciated a curtain on the small bathroom window, because that window made it hard to completely darken the room and the door separating the bedroom and bathroom is made out of glass. This is of course only a problem to people who struggle to sleep with light like me. The entrance to the bathroom is almost at head level with the bed, meaning that light was shining directly into my eyes. There was construction going on at the neighbours and on the roof and that windown made us feel quite exposed when we were using the toilet. A general trashcan would also be nice:) These are mostly small things for us, the only thing that truly bothered us was the construction noise which made us leave the hotel every day as fast as we could after waking up (from it) and made us stay out for long. This is out of the hotels hand though.
