PREMIER SUITES PLUS Antwerp
Great location, nice and quiet but only 5 minutes from the station. The kitchen area was good, but lacked facilities. I needed to ask for plates, bowls and cutlery. A toaster would've been useful.

Had a city suite, it was a large spacious room in good conditon. Bathroom had separate shower + bath. Each bed had two different pillows, soft and medium. the soft pillow was amazing, makes such a change to have a nice soft pillow in a hotel

Grand Hotel en Résidence De Draak
Room was very clean, bed was so comfortable and the location is perfect! Staff weren’t the most welcoming as they didn’t appreciate that we booked through Expedia. Still highly recommend.
