Radisson Blu Astrid

Radisson Blu? No it did not!
We determined this hotel to be the best value, especially considering we came in without reservations, and in a cool location, bustling by day, delightfully sketchy at night.

Best place inAntwerp to stay. Can’t beat a combination of a hotel that has a gym, Sauna, jacuzzi, steam room and a restaurant!

Swift check in by polite, helpful staff. Good size, nicely decorated room — large enough to sleep, relax and a proper desk space with enough light to work by. Decent bathroom with an actual bath in it, rather than just a shower. There were no English language tv channels, but maybe I just didn’t look hard enough.
Not sure about the location. On the one hand it’s really central — right opposite the main station, which is just what I needed as my next meeting was in Brussels. On the other, the staff appeared uneasy about recommending a local restaurant because it doesn’t actually seem that safe in the evening. (But I guess you could say the same about most city centres).
Didn’t get to try the awesome breakfast buffet recommended by another reviewer, but my room service breakfast was so huge I ended up making it into sandwiches for my train journey.

hotel à deux pas du Zoo d’anvers, mais on y va pas pour cela…
hôtel à deux pas du quartier chinois, mais on y va pas pour cela…
hôtel à deux pas de la gare, mais on y va pas pour cela enfin pas moi…
j’y ai séjourné une dizaine de jour, j’ai donc eu l’occasion de tester:
leur petit dejeuner… vraiment très bien
leur restaurant «le square» vraiment vraiment tres bien
le personnel vraiment très bien aussi
leurs chambres, propre et agréablement spacieuse mais sans exces
mais par contre le prix est exagéré, honnetement
120 € la nuit + 22 € de petit dej + 20 € de parking… ca commence à faire cher. je pense que cela serait vraiment apprécié que le parking soit offert par exemple surtout quand on est en longue durée…
Enfin t’avais qu’à changer d’hotel si ca te plaisait pas… et vous auriez raison…
alors voilà pas mal mais j’ai connu mieux
Sur ce bon séjour (quand même)

Legit! Can you seriously ask for anything more from a hotel? It’s next door to the subway, it’s a stone’s throw from Keyserlei, and you’re surrounded by tons of places to eat. If that weren’t enough, the rooms are well… roomy, and the breakfast is as good as it gets.
Seriously, not only did I have a beautiful view of a snowy Astrid Square, but I consistently met people from around the world. Of course, this was while stuffing my face with pastries, fruits, juices, cheeses, and well… just about every European delight you could think of to start your day. I am now spoiled and cannot go back to eating American.
You will be comfortable, you will have fun, and you will meet new people. Staff was pleasant, and I have no complaints whatsoever about my stay. As good as it gets!

Nice hotel at very decent price levels … especially if you book through
. Location is great just opposite the central station of Antwerp and in the middle of the diamond district. The Zoo is next to the station and the famous Keyzerlei is less than 5 minutes away. You can walk to the famous Cathedral and marketplace in about 15 minutes. Breakfast (Continental and cooked) is very abundant and tasty. The restaurant gives a great view on Antwerp. Rooms are kind of modern cozy and the beds are comfortable … so what more do you want?

A bit outdated, but still a nice hotel in a central location with walking distance to main shopping streets.
The breakfast buffet was awesome
