"Great location near the Central Train Station. I stayed for three nights while visiting friends and exploring Antwerp, Ghent, and Bruges. I’d definitely stay here again, as it was extremely convenient for coming and going from the train station. It was about a 25-minute walk along the river to downtown. There were also several bike rental stations just a few minutes from the hotel’s front door, and biking was the best way to get around. The hotel was also very close to shopping and a wide variety of restaurants. I really enjoyed my time in Antwerp, and the NH Collection helped make the experience even better."
