Radisson BLU Astrid Hotel, Antwerp

1. Located right in front of the central station 2. with 3 supermarkets besides the central station, and another 2 great supermarkets behind the hotel, easy for water / snake supplies. 3. Security control over the front gap after midnight comforted me and my wife. 4. The fashionable sofa in my room was awesome.

The view from the room was phenomenal, and the location was excellent. The zoo, the chocolate museum, Illusion House and Central Station were all close by. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The decor in the breakfast room and bar was modern and stylish. Breakfast was delicious and there was a plethora of options. We had an issue where there was no sofa bed in the room (Junior Suite), but staff solved this promptly by providing an extra bed.

The room (627) was excellent: large, quiet (other guests allowing), clean, minimal street noise, excellent view of the station, warm (I turned the heat down a bit). The very comfortable bed was huge: it was like my wife and I were sleeping in different towns.

Excellent hotel, conveniently located by the train station and tram/bus node. The area might seem a bit shabby at night but it's quite safe, I came back around midnight alone and had no problem. The room was big and the bed very comfortable. The room was clean, the common spaces could be better maintained. I loved that it was quiet, I am a light sleeper and didn't need earplugs at all. There is a pool and welness centre but I did not use them. Breakfast has everything you might need and good coffee too. Will definitely return.

Great hotel with a great location. Sufficiently responsive staff. The room is clean. We refused cleaning, but the cleaners came every day, so I think the cleanliness of this hotel is very good. We liked the large bathroom with shower and bathtub, such a room is suitable for people who prefer to quickly wash in the shower and those who like to lie in the bathtub.
