Excellent and very centrally located hotel in Antwerp. We originally booked the executive suite at the top level with amazing windows and patio, however it gets very very hot and almost too hot to sleep in at night.

Motel One Antwerp
Lovely stay in the heart of Antwerp. From the receptionist at check in all the way to to the bartenders. I could not have felt more welcome. It is a new hotel with modern amenities and a very great lobby and bar. The rooms are spacious and quiet. I highly recommend stay here.

Location is fabulous. The cathedral is literally right outside the front door, you are in the heart of the old city action. Great atmosphere and connected to the cafe, which is also very nice.
