The room wasn't anything special. It was just another hotel room. It was, however, well taken care of. All personnel was professional and really kind. They anticipated on our needs. I'm extremely positive about the service that was offered. The location is top-notch, right outside Central train station, so there is an abundance of public transport to choose from. The hotel borders on the high street, so you can check-in, leave your luggage behind and literally start shopping within 5 minutes (if that's what you're in to) The zoo is also in walking distance as it is literally around the corner from central station. Maybe about 50m from the entrance of the hotel. I will definitely return to this hotel, mostly because of the convenience of it all. (Photo explanation: I had a room at the front of the hotel and this was my view. Just to illustrate how close the station is to the hotel)

I stayed here with family and very much enjoyed it! The staff was extremely friendly and helped with every extra request & question we had. The room was spatious and the entire property is clean. The breakfast had enough variability (although my son missed the fried eggs – they only had scrambled eggs). We very much appreciated the small gym. Greetings from Hungary (Budapest) ;-)

To start off, the location of this hotel is amazing for a nights trip from Brussels or Brugge. It is right across from the train station so it is easily accessible. The lobby is nice and clean, the gym is small but decent and the breakfast is adequate. That is where my praise ends. When I first entered the room there was a strange smell which I suspect came from the stained carpet. There is construction currently going on right next to the hotel which is very loud and makes it impossible to sleep in. But my main problem was the bathroom/shower. Both the body soap and conditioner were missing there plugs. This allows for moisture and humidity to constantly be circulating through the containers which is unsafe. On top of that, the lids could easily be removed and when I did I noticed there was bits of conditioner(?) in the soap and a disgusting blue gunk growing on the soap containers (I have attached pictures). This is extremely unsanitary and unsafe. On top of that, the shower water did not maintain a steady temperature. It went from warm to burning hot to warm to burning hot. I was consistently screaming as I got burned by the water. I ended up showering at a friends place as both the water temperature and soap made me uncomfortable showering at the hotel. This was very disappointing and ruined my experience. I would recommend looking at other options near the train station before booking this place but the location is prime.

Stayed one night and was pleasantly surprised. Location couldn’t be beat. The hotel is right at the train station. Close to all main attractions, shopping district and dining. Very friendly and professional service. Rooms were spacious for Europe. Breakfast was a full buffet. I can’t say enough about our stay and highly recommend.

Very comfortable room, clean, good in-room amenities. We were at this hotel over a weekend and it seemed completely booked but we certainly couldn't tell while we were in our room. Hardly any noise filtered into our room from the street (we faced Central Station) or the construction going on and if people allowed their doors to slam (which normally happens in hotels) we didn't hear it. The rooms were so well insulated. The staff were friendly and accommodating. Our last day in Antwerpen we wanted to stay and walk around the city later than the checkout and front desk staff stored our luggage for us. When I came back to collect there was a long wait in the lobby, people checking in, and the person who checked my luggage saw me, finished what he was doing at the moment and motioned me to follow him. He said he didn't want me to miss my train. So nice and thoughtful. I wish I would have gotten his name to call him out. The buffet breakfast was very crowded, that is how we knew the hotel was booked up, but still good and plenty of food. One of the coffee machines was out of order when we were there so long line for the coffee...but no big deal. Location was good, across from the Central Station, and about a mile from the town square but we enjoyed the walking so no issue for us. Would definitely go back.

We stayed there for 14 nights and everything was perfect! Location is great right in front of central station, room was clean , breakfast was pretty good and the hotel staff was very friendly and attentive! And special thanks to the receptionists Rachid and Noimi who helped us through out our stay with their suggestions and were very kind. Will definitely stay here if we visit Antwerp again!

We rarely give a 5* rating, but this hotel deserves it. We stayed there for one night in mid-July for fair price. The staff at the reception was outstanding, friendly, well-spoken and very helpful. We were also delighted with the size and cleanliness of the room, the comfortable matresses and the layout of the sections. the room was quiet despite its front pointing towards the railway station. The breakfast was included, the selection was sufficient and the staff there very friendly and fast. We would always return there.

Hampton by Hilton was the perfect hotel for our stay. It is located directly across the street from the Antwerp train station. Taxis and bikes for rent are steps away from the front door of the hotel. The staff were all friendly and helpful. The room was clean, good sized, and well stocked. Great experience.

Great value for money overall! Pros: Very good location. We arrived from the train station and the hotel is 2 minutes from the train station and the metro station . Well sized rooms. Well lit and with good air conditioning. Comfortable and clean beds. Really great value for money. Amazing staff, very helpful and very knowledgeable! Thanks for an amazing time. Cons: The bathrooms were clean and hygienic but the shower area could have been cleaned better. Also the breakfast was okay. It can also be improved vastly. I would prefer to have breakfast outside the hotel next time

I love this place. The views are amazing in the lobby and also in some of the rooms. It's conveniently located for touring Antwerp, and a quick walk from the station. The staff are amazing and helpful. They speak fluent English. They go above and beyond to make your stay better. The breakfast spread is great, very filling. You can even grab a piece of fruit for later. The beds are fine, not amazing. The rooms themselves are great, plenty of space, big windows. I would love to stay here again. This was my view!

Great hotel. When visiting Antwerp, I recommend staying here, it is located across the street from the central train station. The rooms are clean and comfortable, the room is cleaned every day. Breakfast included, buffet, there is everything you need for breakfast for every taste, very tasty. Friendly staff. If there is an opportunity to still visit this wonderful city, I will definitely stop here. Within walking distance from the center and all sights of the city.

Excellent experience! Rooms were clean, spacious, comfortable, and quiet. The breakfast that was included was excellent, a far higher calibre than most inclusive breakfasts I've experienced at other hotels. Staff was very friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay here again!

We stayed four nights, arriving very early morning from North America by flights to Brussels and then by train to Antwerp. When we arrived at the hotel, the staff were very professional and luckily our room was already available. We enjoyed very much the location of the hotel, the professional attitude of the staff, and the morning buffet with healthy options (eggs, cold and warm vegetables, etc.). The training room was good too. The only minor comment is the hot water stability, it fluctuates back and forth between too warm and just right. Room was clean, bed was great. When we left we were allowed also an extra hour for late checkout and could work in the hall with coffee available. Overall we are really happy about our stay and would go back if visiting Antwerp again.

The rooms (we were on 7th floor) were nice. Its a bit unfortunate that the parking is like 3min by foot away and that the reception is on the first floor. Made our arrival and departure a bit bumpy. Parking costs with 16 euro/night are great. Also super accessable by train as it is right at the train station. The breakfast however is terrible. They should really send someone to look after the food (the veggies were old and nothing was really cooled or had silverware to serve it... so people destroyed the buffet). It looked disgusting at 9.00am. For a hotel of this category, I expected a decent continental breakfast. Also the presentation of the food as such was sad. We ended up having breakfast in the city.

If you can catching Thalys or any other trains, no other hotels beat this hotel’s location. The breakfast was served two charming Asian staff members and that made a great start of the day. The bathroom door was not working well, so I had to take one star off. But clean and cozy. The surrounding area is not as safe and clean as the hotel itself. Be extra careful with taxi drivers waiting between the hotel and the station. They refuse to receive online payments and give you a receipt or try to race with other cars. If you don’t have big bags, go elsewhere to catch a cab.

Hotel very close to central station. We came by car so not very convenient to park in garage 300m in an alley in the rain. Room was nice and quiet and breakfast was well organised with good staff despite it being very busy. Not the same can be said for the reception desk though. When checking in no eye contact, hello/good evening and crew just staring at the monitors instead of helping customers check in. Then a rude group just barged in front of line, without personell knowing they just helped them. Check out just as terrible. No goodmorning or goodbye again. When asking how to receive the hotel parking discount as advertised, the reception was clueless: Interparking Vesting recognized my car numberplate as i'm member of their chain, so I could enter without a ticket and fully charging me for 24 hours.

Perfect one night stop over across the road from Antwerp Centraal station. Appears the hotel is virtually brand new... it is absolutely lovely Huge comfortably family room with 2 huge beds. Kitchenette and dining table. Large bathroom Full bar and restaurant (which we didn't use, but looked great!)

Was great location for our need. Clean and excellent friendly staff. Breakfast was just great and fulled us for the day. Very happy with our choice to stay at the hampton by hilton. I asked for 3 extra pillows when i went to Breakfast by the time i got back to my room my pillows were there. 6 stars

The hotel is directly across the street from the central rail station, so very convenient if you’re arriving by train. There are lots of restaurants and cafes nearby, as well as groceries. If you’re arriving by car, parking is down the street and around the corner, about a 5-10 minute walk. I was upgraded to a huge room with a kitchenette and dining table, as well as plenty of windows. The room overlooked the train station - good for the views, bad for the noise. There was lots of traffic noise during the day but it died down later in the evening.

Great location. Nice breakfast, variations in food. You also have the ability to make your own waffle :). The staff was pleasant and easy to talk to. Overall price/quality its good.

It's okay. The location is convenient for guests arriving by train, tram or bus. If you come by car, you should add 30 minutes on top of your satnav ETA. The hotel has no parking facility. Rooms are okay, however during our stay some items were missing and or dirty. Also HH benefits items were not in the room. We where offered to switch rooms but as we already where settled we refused. Breakfast is okay, the restaurant is spacious and there are plenty of tables available. The receptionist (Rachid) at check-in clearly did everything to make us feel welcomed and valued as a diamond member. The staff at checkout had a completely different attitude. Despite Rachid's best efforts i am not sure if I will use this particular hotel for future stays

A UNESCO world heritage site located in the heart of the city. Absolutely stunning as it stands high in the sky. I could not stop admiring it as I stood for a long moment in the market square. Buying the tickets in advance is absolutely recommended. Unfortunately we could not enter inside because of the long waiting time, but the pictures from other visitors look really promising. Will definitely go to the top in our next visit.

Amazing landmark with a lovely view. Be aware that you have to climb all the way up as this requires significant physical effort. Book your tickets in advance in the machine at the entrance.

It’s the city centre of Brugge (a city of historic importance in Belgium). This place has wonderful 360 degree panoramic views with beautiful architecture in Bruges. This area is surrounded by coffee shops, shopping area, stores and restaurants are nearby. The center is always lively. It's a must visit area if you are in Bruges.

800 year old clock tower of Bruges with 366 steps up to the top. Well worth the ticket price for the views from the top. If you book your tickets for 20 minutes before the hour, you should make it to the top as the clock chimes. Amazing experience.

Valuable time spent well with a climb to the top. Staff were friendly and helpful. Especially the kindly spoken young lad with the 3 day growth. The walk to the top was a tight fit at times and rewards the punter with not only an amazing view but a close up demonstration of the bells at work every 15 minutes. Beautiful Bruges

Magnificent specimen of architecture! You must visit the Belfry during different times of the day. At dawn, it's tranquil and you can enjoy the tower without the distractions of large crowds. At night, the lighting brings out a different side of the tower. In the afternoons, there is a lot of commercial activity in the square and you can see the square being enjoyed by the locals. See the photos and videos for views of the Belfry and its chimes being played. It is unfortunate that lots two stroke motorcycles and mopeds regularly pass through the square and disturb the peace. They are so incongruous here.

The city’s primary landmark and tourist attraction. The climb is only for the very fit but the rest of the building and its square are a nice place to just hang out and soak in the city. Tourist trap alert: there are many “rickshaws” you can rent from the square for a city tour.

Historic bell tower in the city center of Bruges. There are about 275 steps to the top and the view from up there is worth the climb. You can have a panoramic view of the old city with canals and other churches and towers. If you have time, then I suggest that you book the tickets in advance to watch the sunset, if the weather permits.

We paid 15 Euro to climb the 366 steps and it can be quite dizzy because of the constant spiral loop. But it didn’t take as long as we thought, nor was it as tiring as expected. There are platforms at different levels with information where you can take a respite from the climb. Beautiful view once you reach the top.

I had a nice time there. Excellent view from the top, but be ready for a long climb up. We did not buy tickets in advance, all were sold but luckily someone did not show so they let us in. I would advice you to buy tickets in advance, not to risk. People working there are polite and welcoming.

An amazing experience, really enjoyable. I recommend go early, we did the first session of the day as it wasn't too crowded. You do need a reasonable level of fitness to climb the 366 steps.

Nice view from the top of it but unfortunately there is net all around so you can take good picture with the view. Booked your ticket online to climb up 300 stairs. It is interesting to see the inside and learned some history. The stairs are a bit steep but given that they control the amount of people going up per time slot it’s not too crowded.

The Belfry of Bruges isn't just a climb, it's a journey through time. This UNESCO World Heritage Site boasts stunning views from its 366-step summit, showcasing the city's red-roofed charm. But the climb itself is an adventure, with historical exhibits along the way. Be prepared for some narrow staircases, but the reward is breathtaking. For history lovers, don't miss the chance to see the impressive carillon with its 47 bells. This iconic landmark is a must-do for any Bruges adventure!

Climbing the belfry was an amazing experience. It is not as tiring as I expected, since there are stops along the way up where one can rest. That said, the ticket price (at €14 on my visit) was a little much for a simple access to the steps with no extra features.

A must visit if you're in Bruges...and definitely if you've seen the movie. Tickets can be bought at the time or in allocated time slots in advance online. The stairs start off reasonably wide but get very narrow the nearer you get to the top. Anyon of a reasonable fitness level will be perfectly fine but don't worry as there are a few zooms on the way up that you can stop at should you need a rest. The views from the top are stunning although there is a wire mesh covering all the openings at the top. If the bell tolls at the top it will.probably make you jump. Overall I'd say it's pretty good value for money

Historic place to see in Bruges. Lost of cafe and restaurant nearby. The centre in front of belfry is always lively. The look from the history museum of Bruges is nice, covering the centre, belfry and all around. Must visit area. Will also find the city tour van and tourists guide in front of it.

Recommend you buy tickets online in advance, or at the vending machine at the bottom of the tower , or last instance at the entrance. There are tickets / time-slots , so they run fast (I think max 25 for every 20min) The climb is indeed manageable, as there are floors in between.

Really enjoyed going up the Belfry, 300+ steps, but worth the price and effort to get amazing views over Antwerp. As you ascend, there are areas to rest, if needed, and learn more about the belfrys history. If you time it right, you will also see and hear the huge musical drum work as it strikes the time. The top bit is protected from birds by a black plastic mesh, but its easy to get round this for photos, by lining up your phone or camera lens to get the awesome pics! Staff were friendly and welcoming too👍

Very worthwhile to visit and to take all 366 stairs to the highest accessible point. Mind you, stairs are quite narrow and it takes a serious effort. Breathtaking view especially with clear weather, obviously. Ticket vending machine can be found in the passage that goes under/through the belfry tower building.

I enjoyed climbing up this tower. You can see Brugge 360 degrees. Also, we were up there when the bell rung. It was loud but it was very neat to see the hammer hitting the bell... If you want to go to this tower and a number other points of interests in Brugge, get the Museum package for 3 days. It is worth it.

Great fun going up the 366 narrow winding steps. We picked a very windy day which added to the experience!! An amazing mechanical display as well as the bells and you can hear them playing tunes at certain times.

Very nice climb up to the top. Around 300 stairs and they are pretty narrow, so be prepared. You get some great views of the city and beyond on a clear day.

We really wanted to visit it and when we arrived at 16.55 there was only one ticket available from 17.00. The gentlemen at the counter were very kind and still gave us two tickets. If you can plan to arrive at a certain time, I recommend you book tickets, otherwise you might not find tickets. The access staircase is quite narrow and those going down have priority. It is worth 15 euros and all the 366 steps for a fantastic view.

We climbed up in the evening after dark. I imagine the views would have been better during the daylight hours but it was still nice to see the city lights and also the history of the tower. The stairs aren't too difficult to climb (for an early 30s couple) with plenty of landings and floors to take breaks at, however the spiral staircase is quite narrow in places so maybe not the best for people who are nervous of confined spaces. We bought tickets online in advance and not have to queue to get in.

You get to see a great view of the city, but not anything special. I recommend to book your ticket prior to your visit there, so you can get in at the time you want, however you can book the ticket the same day at the entrance, but probably there will be a spot at least a couple of hours later. There're 366 steps you get to climb, some of them were really small; dutch-type steps. I don't believe it's worth the 15€.

Amazing view of the city and the literal central point of the city. We reserved and booked time slots the day before to go up but also it sells out quickly so try to book as early as possible. We also went on a weekend but it was in February. Lots of climbing but its not too bad, there are multiple levels you can stop and relax. The one right before the top is nice, you can see how the bells work. Last is the pure lookout point and you have a nice view of the city.

The Belfort or Belfry is the iconic landmark in the center of Bruges. It’s a medieval bell tower built around the year 1240. We bought tickets online for a Tuesday 9:40 time slot. The booking system is super easy because it tells you how many tickets are left for each time slot, and you don’t need to book too far in advance. There weren’t too many people when we went but there were already people coming back down. There are some areas of the climb that are narrow, so just be mindful of that. It took us about 15 minutes to get to the top and when you get up there, it is so cool! You see the actual bell (beware, it’s LOUD, obviously since you’re right next to it) and you can look down on the square. Although it’s not a complete 360 view since the bell blocks some of the access, it’s still a sight to see. The whole experience from going up, taking photos at the top, coming back down took us about 45 minutes. It did start getting a bit more crowded when we were heading back down, so my recommendation is to go early. Definitely a must see if you’re in Bruges!

One of the best brewery tours I’ve ever been on across the US and Europe! Their food is delicious and the beer is award-winning; their tripel won best (gold) in Europe for 2023). A definite must-stop if looking for good food and beer combinations!

The tour is fun and interesting. Tourguide had some witty humor and is passionate about the brewery. Tour is not welcome for dogs, but the restaurant is! We went there in the afternoon for our beer that was included with our admission for the tour and in the evening for some dinner with our dog. Food is good and the beer is great, it tastes better when you know their history and process.

Amazing brewery in the heart of Brugge! Very helpful staff and quite packed for lunch time, luckily they got us a table without reservation but had no luck with the tour of the brewery. They have a wide selection of their own Belgian style beers on tap or bottled. They have a pipeline in their brewery that goes over 3 km to their new factory. The food was really good and traditional Belgian style meals. The decorations of the establishment is quite homely with a terrace and a restaurant to chose. Very good beer, specially the blond quite more refreshing from the tap!

Huisbrouwerij De Halve Maan brewery (home of Zot) is a great place to relax and unwind. The outdoor seating is perfect for a nice day, but there's plenty of indoor seating as well. Our group of 6 was seated right away outside. Service was prompt, and the staff were friendly and attentive. Everything was nice and clean too. We just stayed for drinks, and were not disappointed - their beer is awesome. I'd definitely recommend building some time into your trip to stop by and enjoy a few pints.

Very knowledgeable guide. They asked which language. Last tour of the day when we checked in . Some of the museum is still making the beer, but no person seen overseeing it as it bubbled along. Some stairwells are not for the unsteady. We didn't go right to the top to see the view. Going down backwards on the way down and out. Still a highlight to go. Had difficulty finding the brewery, but differently recommended going. Free beer was much needed.

We went for the brewery tour and it was great! They take you through all of the brewery where they still make some beer, they show you the evolution of the brewery from the start to present day. It was better than we expected. They take you to the roof where you get a really nice view of the town. At the end, you get to taste their beer or even enjoy some food in the restaurant. It was a great experience and I really recommend it!

A great place to drink very fresh beer just brewed in the Brewery. There is also a Museum that you visit and see how the beer is produced and have also a degustation session. I would highly recommend it.

Will start by saying just visit the place if you are beer lover. Their unfiltered version of beer is so tasty and would recommend their beer tour for everyone where we get to chose either one or three beers and their beer history is worth listening to where in at the same time we will support them to keep this place in the heart of this beautiful town.Everything about the brewery is awesome including the tour of the brewery, their history and of course their beer.Tour offers an amazing rooftop view of the city which was incredible and can buy the beers at the store as well. all in all an awesome experience to anyone whether you are a beer lover or not. Go for it.

Great place with a very unique atmosphere, really good choice of local beers which were very good. The menu looked great too however we were there too late to order anything, what a shame! Maybe next time, as well as a tour in the brewery. Very polite, friendly and helpful staff. Lots of tables to sit and enjoy a beer of your choice.

One of the best brewery tours I have been on! Having been to at least a dozen different brewery tours, this one was the most educational about beer. Most tours will try to entertain you with bells and whistles, this one will give you the ins and outs of over 175 years of brewing history. To top it off you'll have one of the best views of the city at the pinnacle of the tour. Be prepared to do many stairs and they will be steep. At the end of the tour you will have earned yourself a lovely non-pasturized beer in their welcoming tavern or terrace. The guide was excellent. Tours are available in Dutch, English, or French.

It was our second time here on an excursion. Both times were different guides and it was a different experience and approach. But both times were interesting. After the tour, you could taste beer on a choice and seat in the restaurant with a nice view of the channel. Both times we hang here on the tasting for 2 hours as good.

We loved the tour here. While still functional, much of the brewery is a museum to how the process used to work. The active brewing is more compact and bottling happens off-site. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and we appr coated option for an English tour. The beer at the end was 👌.

Great place to eat, the food is delicious and quickly served. The waiters are very nice and attentive. The meat stew is very nice and delicious. We did not like their kriek beer it was too sour. The shop is small but has a good selection of beers. Near the entrance you can also see the beer pipeline that they build.

If you're interested in beers, you're gonna love this tour. It's a guided tour through their brewery, and it also include a beer at the end. In the end you will find a huge restaurant with great beers from the brewery. A little tip is to use some extra money to buy one of their Heritage bottles.

Nice tour, mainly about the old brewery which is now a museum. The brassiere bar is great. Loved the Straffe Hendrik Wild beer, with good food on the side. Best place to shelter on a rainy day! Good vibes!

The tour is a must for those who love a Belgian beer or two. Great stories about the history the brewery, the 'Crazy' project to install a beer pipeline between the brewery and the bottling plant and more... Oh, and the opportunity to taste the 🍺

The guided tour of the brewery is a must see in Brugge. They show you the brewing process and the different combinations to come up with their nine beer types. The tour takes you to the top of the building where you have fantastic views of the city, and awards you with an unfiltered beer! Make sure to visit on weekday since the master brewers do not work on weekends and you won’t see the tanks full.

Visiting this brewery in Bruges was a highlight of my trip. The brewery tour was fascinating, offering a deep dive into the brewing process and history. The guide was knowledgeable and engaging, making the tour both informative and enjoyable. The atmosphere of the brewery was inviting, with a great mix of locals and tourists. It was the perfect place to relax and enjoy the veiw of the town. I highly recommend this brewery to anyone visiting Bruges. It's an experience that combines education, tasting, and the joy of discovering new beers. A must-visit for beer enthusiasts and casual drinkers alike!

I went for lunch and a beer, not for a brewery tour. Was not disappointed! Both the beer and the lunch (Belgian beef stew with chips) were excellent.

What to say about this beautiful architecture. A building full of sculptures and details, all I can do is admire the work.

Ghent Town Hall is a complex of buildings surrounding the Botermarkt square. Construction of the Town Hall began in the 15th century and continued until the 17th century, but was never completed according to the original plan. The Town Hall has 51 rooms. The Town Hall symbolises the history and culture of the city of Ghent.

Everyone talks about Brugge but let me tell you Ghent we fell in love with. Same feel and look but less popular and I found to be more beautiful. Definitely stop here it is so so beautiful and romantic and a place where they captured a time way before we were here. Castles and waffles heaven. You won't be disappointed.

Wonderful location and surroundings at night. Feels like time travel into the past, with historic buildings in the area, no cars due to the pedestrian zone, and only a few tourists around. I couldn’t imagine Gent being so beautiful, but the City Hall is definitely one of the landmarks.

The town hall (Stadhuis) is a great piece of art in the finest Gothic form richly decorated with statues. It looks beautiful during the day and luminates at night.

Ghent is located 30 minutes from Brussel. Small city but with beautiful architecture. We visited City Hall, Several Churches and the Graffiti street.

Ghent City beautiful place in Belgium... With stunning architecture.. It's a great a stop off if your travelling from the UK to other parts of Europe... The people are lovey and friendly with lots to do.

Nous sommes allés en vacances quelques jours en Belgique pour visiter bruges, gent, Bruxelles en février 2024. 15 jours après notre retour nous avons reçu 4 contraventions pour avoir circuler en voiture en allant a l'hôtel pour motif interdit de circuler. C'est un piège à touristes très déçu car aucune signalisation . Très grosses arnaque à touristes. (Translated by Google) We went on vacation for a few days to Belgium to visit Bruges, Gent, Brussels in February 2024. 15 days after our return we received 4 fines for driving by car on the way to the hotel for reasons prohibited from driving. It's a very disappointing tourist trap because there is no signage. Very big tourist scam.
