Older building, but in a great location. Near all attractions.
The heating in our room wasn't working, so they moved us (four people) to two rooms.
Indoor pay parking next door.
The room was quite small with paper thin walls, could hear the neighbors and was on the same level as a parking lot so people were loud out there too. I did stay on NYE and New Year's Day and the whole city was shut down Jan 1, including housekeeping apparently. Staff was friendly and helpful. Not far from the Grote Markt.
The location of the hotel was really good for getting into antwerp city centre .
The reception staff were reslly friendly and helpful.
The rooms were comfortable and clean.
Great little hotel close to the centre. Comfortable. Part time reception hours opening. Nice ambience. Breakfast available next door if required. Lots of cafes, bars and restaurants close by. Would book to stay again.
The hotel was close to the city centre and the staff were friendly, the room includes tea and coffee making facility. The stay was a pleasant one, the breakfast was good. I will stay here again
This is a nice hotel in a very convenient position for sightseeing in the beautiful old city of Antwerp. The room was quite well equipped and the bed was large and very comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful. The optional breakfast buffet seemed pricy but was actually extremely good value for money given the range of food available.
The Hotel National Antwerp is the best value hotel we have stayed in throughout Europe. The rooms are a good size (you can open a suitcase on both sides of the bed), you can open a window and get fresh air, the amenities are good, and best all, all items in the bathroom work!! Great shower, the toilet flushes and the basin sink is not clogged. Amazing!! And the staff were very helpful too. Well done.
I'm surprised this hotel, so nice and located in the centre of the city, is so affordable. It's such a nice place where to stay.
The room is small, but very well equipped, even with an espresso machine on the desk. The bed is very comfortable.
It's only 10 mins walk from the cathedral and all the main attractions.
It is a nice, comfortable and clean hotel, very well located in the centre of Antwerp. The staff are very helpful and attentive but sadly have a policy of having no staff after 7pm. This means rowdy guests can run amok in the hotel, causing no end of disruption in the evening, hence zero sleep. Will not be returning which is a shame as I have stayed here many times.

This property is centrally located near everything. The room had been redone, yet someone had peeled back the paint right next to one of the beds to reveal black mold on the wall. The mini split could not cool the room. It wasn’t really working.
That was a great place just to sleep. The receptionist was also friendly. On the other hand, the hotel located in the city centre. These are the advantages of that hotel. In my opinion, it's worth staying there.
