Holiday Inn Express Antwerp City-North

Zimmer relativ geräumig Bett bequem das war es aber auch schon. Zu teuer weil vor allem das Frühstück doch sehr einfach gehalten ist.
Aufschnitt aus der Packung, Säfte verwässertes Konzentrat.
Für eine Nacht ok.

We stayed here in September 2015 for a Friday and Saturday night. This is now my 2^nd visit and I had no hesitation in staying again.
It’s around a 20 minute walk from the main station, but it’s an easy walk.
Check-​in was quick and efficient, we were in our room on the 6^th floor moments after arriving. The hotel has a good sized breakfast area, plenty of choice of cereals, cheese, hot and cold drinks and pastries and it never got busy even before it closed and the food items were always fully available.
There seemed to be plenty of staff around, all polite and courteous and helpful. Myself and my friend enjoyed a complimentary beer in the lounge downstairs and the person who was on duty was nice and brought us some free bar nibbles.
The room was clean, a good size, quiet. The view from room 622 was nothing special, but you can see the docks just behind the hotel. Good quality towels and bed linen. Clean bathroom, with a good shower and nice toiletries.
The internet speed was good for general surfing.
Just two small downsides; the room could do with brighter lights, and I thought the bed could have been bigger, but that’s all.

Great location and a terrific value. The Mas is behind the hotel, and old town is a 10 – 15 minute walk away.
Free wifi, free breakfast. 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.

Friendly and welcoming to the US traveler. Free breakfast. Near many sites and center of city. Within reasonable walking distance to central train station. Comfortable and clean rooms.

Sehr einfaches Hotel, etwas ab vom Schuss.
Hotel und Zimmer recht einfach und oberblaechlich gereinigt. Frühstück ist auch alles «aus der Packung».
Liegt nicht wirklich Zentral und in der unmittelbaren Umgebung keine vernünftige Gastronomie vorhanden.
Fazit: Alles Standard — nix Tolles
Für eine Nacht OK, ich brauche es aber nicht mehr. Da gibt es in Antwerpen schoenere Alternativen.
