Park Plaza Astrid Antwerp - Antwerp, Belgium 

Convenient Choice
Posted: Sun, Jul 20 2008
This moderate-upscale hotel is very convenient if you are traveling by train to/from Antwerp, as it's a two-minute walk across the plaza from the station. The hotel has a modern design throughout, and appeared in fairly good condition. Service at the front desk was excellent, with a great restaurant recommendation, walking directions, and hospitality (The agents spoke perfect English.) The lobby bar was disappointing in terms of its service and comfort. Note that the neighborhood immediately around the hotel isn't family-friendly, but it was safe. The Meir high street was nearby (about 5-10 minutes walk) for shopping. I had a brief one-night stay in this historic city, so I didn't get to fully test out the hotel, but would recommend it as a very easy stopping point and good value.

Excellent accommodation

The hotel has a very good location, definetely as we arrived by train in the amazing Central Station of Antwerp. The rooms were lovely and recently renovated. The beds were really great. We enjoyed very much the special promotion for internet and movie on demand. I have never stayed in a city hotel with such a big fitness club (complimentary). Also relaxing in the pool and sauna were top. Just before leaving we had a great breakfast with really a big variety, friendly staff and nice view at the Central Station. We will definetely book again!

Awful

This is not a 4* hotel. The rooms are dated, not very clean, and I was put in a smoking room in spite of a request for non-smoking. Room service didn't answer the phone, and I had to call reception to get hold of them. The restaurant was poor - both in quality of the food but also the service. It took an hour for our food to arrive. (Rare steak and fish - so not too time consuming). Generally, I would suggest staying in one of the smaller boutique hotels in Antwerp.

This is the best hotel in years

As I am a business traveller, I come across many hotels in many countries, but this hotel surprised me with the great service and fantastic rooms. It is definitely a must if you come to Antwerp...also it's location could not be better as it is opposite the fantastic central train station. Park Plaza was not known to me before, but will be my choice for a long time....congratulations A special thanks to the reception for my upgrade to an executive room which had it all....internet for free, nespresso machine, bottle of water ..they have nice LCD screens with digital movie system...Ohhh and the swimming pool and fitness area are amazing...compared to other hotels, where you can find if lucky 3 machines...here you have more then 30, swimming pool, sauna, jacuzi...etc.... thanks from an expat
