Peaceful stay

Perfectly located on a street with no cars, so it was quiet and peaceful. The suite had a skylight so we could see the stars. Felt more like family than a guest there.

Quiet, central hotel

The hotel was very central and quiet and the staff very helpful and friendly. The breakfast was fresh but limited choice. The room was spacious with a comfortable bed but the decor needed refreshing, quite a few scratches on paintwork and the towels a little thin and scratchy.

Fantastic location in a semi funky boutique hotel. Large comfortable room and huge bathroom. Good bed with nice linens. Friendly staff but aren’t there in the evening. You would need to call them. Very steep steps to rooms.

We ended up with a really spacious suite. Great staff and well located in the center of town, down a small alley (with restaurants etc down it.. a nice alley) and super walkable and close to public transport. Had a great time, just wish we could have stayed longer. There are only stairs in the building (no elevator) due to the historic nature of the building. and the stairs are steep and narrow in this area of the world, with a slight curvature to the base of the stairs in this building, so just be mindful if you have big clunky suitcases. Would totally stay again.

Great quirky hotel with friendly staff

We received an upexpected upgrade to our booking to a larger room on the top floor of the hotel. This meant negotiating three flights of stairs but it was worth it for the extra room. Lots of nice touches including complimentary water and a small bottle of wine in the fridge. The quirky hotel was just what we wanted and there was a free coffee machine in the reception area where soothing classical music was always playing. The owner was very friendly and explained the building's history. The Matelote is in a great position, close to Het Steen, the Grote Markt and lots of Antwerp's shops, cafes and bars.

Location is great and you can walk to most of the downtown attractions, although we don't recommend walking from the train station (20-min walk through cobblestone streets rolling luggage). The hotel was clean and the staff was friendly. The room was quiet facing the courtyard, rather than the street. We didn't try the breakfast because there are lots of cafes around. The stair steps are very narrow and I got nervous going up/down with our suitcases. The A/C wasn't cool enough and the bed wasn't very comfortable.

Elegant. friendly, comfortable, inexpensive.

This hotel is ideally situated near to the Grote Markt and Cathedral. It is in a handsome old building, which has a peaceful central courtyard for sitting in (to cool down in summer? - we were here in autumn, so didn't need it but it would be delightful were one to need a rest from sightseeing). The interior has been tastefully modernised. Because the building is listed, no lift has been installed (no problem for us, who are keen walkers). The owner/manager has lived in the district a long time, knows the city very well, and is willing to give friendly and reliable advice. Cooks an excellent boiled egg. Breakfast a pleasure. We were upgraded free of charge and our room - at the top under the eaves - was large and well-appointed. Thoroughly recommendable - a real enhancement to our stay. Should we return, we will definitely choose this hotel.

Wonderful little hotel in a quiet street in the city, great room, nice and spacious and super cozy. You can tell they really care about your stay and if you're comfortable, only thing would change is a smoother check-in since we arrived late and there was no one there, although they did allow us to get in awesome breakfast started at eight so we didn't get to enjoy it since we had to leave early.

Friendly, cosy pearl.

We were on a 'late decision' trip to Antwerp and found this pearl. Very good value for money with the perfect location, extremely friendly staff, cleanliness and nice details like a complimentary small prosecco. A small fridge always come in handy as well. We'd rather seen some soap/schampoo dispensers on the wall than the small plastic bottles, but still nice to have it included. We really enjoyed our stay in this cosy place.

We got upgraded to suite room. Very unique , modern, and very spacious. The rooms we had were accessed by a small spiral staircase, which is ok by us but perhaps not ideal for person with mobility issue. Receptionist and Eric were very helpful giving recommendations. Few steps away from the center of Antwerp. Breakfast was good and unlimited coffee and tea during the day. Very recommend this hotel. Paid parking 4 min walking distance.

Brilliant individual hotel in Antwerp

If you are ok with stairs then this is the place to stay in Antwerp. A quirky old building right in the heart of the city. Eric made us very welcome and gave us great advice about where to visit. The hotel is only a few minutes away from the amazing museum Plantin, which celebrates printing , the early production of books, maps and atlases, the early development of medicine and pharmacy, and as an aside it is full of Ruben's paintings. It is possibly the best museum I have ever visited, unfortunately we only had an hour but we could easily have spent much more time there .

Great location but no AC

The hotel has an excellent location, nice lobby and the rooms are modern and clean, however, we had to sleep with the windows open due to there being no air conditioning so we woke up very early from outside noise. The hotel concierge was very nice but wasn't able to answer our questions about taxi rates, popular bars/restaurant, etc, which would have been helpful for us. The maid also came in our room without knocking, and there was no "do not disturb" card for us to put on our door. The washroom was large and clean, and the room was very well kept. I would stay there again IF they invested in air conditioning.

Purtroppo per motivi di problemi della struttura la prenotazione mi è stata annullata. Il proprietario però mi ha prontamente risarcito. L’ hotel è molto contrale e comunque in una via tranquilla.
