Brand new designer hotel and restaurant in the hip area of 't Eilandje established by Chef Vicky…read moreGeunes from the infamous 't Zilte at the MAS museum. We started with a chicken Caesar salad followed by an entrecôte with black peppercorn sauce and rosti potatoes served in a separate "Le Creuset" skillet. The Caesar salad impressed with its presentation and delighted in taste, a small deviation from the classical Caesar salad but surprising in its flavours. The entrecôte with black peppercorn sauce was grilled to perfection, simply delicious ! "U" - as this restaurant is simply called - is a reflection of the Flemish polite form for "You" which is how someone is addressed when being polite. It is also a reference to something of high standard, meaning it should be addressed accordingly, hence the name "U" for this high class restaurant. More than class, it simply serves excellent food and wine. This establishment will soon be at the top of every respectable restaurant review list. Try it out before reservations are only available in the distant future and waiting lists are the norm of the day.

Nice little boutique hotel in Antwerp harbour. Tasty and contemporary decor and furniture. Staff is…read moresuper friendly and helpful. Rooms are small but nice (mine had a great view over the harbour). A few details are tainting the experience tough, such as the coffee machine with a broken cover replaced by a home made aluminium foil, or strong harbour smells in the corridor

I was staying at the Novotel next door for a week, and finally decided to move over to ETAP. The…read morerates were significantly less, so i walked over. However, you certainly miss the luxuries. The beds at ETAP were not the comfiest, and the rooms were small as well. However, what it lacked in appearance in comfort, it made up for in service. The staff at the front desk was always very helpful. It has all the basics: Wifi (for a fee), television, bathroom, shower. There are no perks here, but if youre looking for a good room at a cheap rate while in Antwerp, this is a good choice.

Note that it's not an American breakfast with eggs and bacon. They have salami, ham, bread, cheese, yogurt, fruit, cereals , juice, and coffee. The rooms on the back side facing the water and the Mas are very quiet. The staff was all very friendly and super helpful. Like some hotels in Europe, they are on a dual-climate system. That means on a certain day, the hotel flips a switch and the system in your room (and the whole hotel) goes from being AC to being heat. I checked in my room and thought it was warm. So I turned what I thought was the AC all the way up and left the room. Big mistake! When in Europe always ask about the climate control systems! The window does open, but only about an inch due to a regulation. The beds were good, not great, but better than some of my other hotels. By European standards the room is huge. Staff was very friendly and super helpful. Unlike some hotels, the free wifi has good throughput. Definitely a great option when staying in Antwerp. Be sure to ask the hotel the best route to get to old town, as the small red light district is in between, but easily avoided.

If you get a front side city view as I did beautiful by night. Love the view of the wheel and the…read morestunning facade of the station. Super sketch area as others have mentioned. But I didn't feel concerned for my safety at all. Just the usual exterior train station shenanigans. Beautiful lobby with a nice bar and plenty of lounge space. Lovely staff. So helpful. Great rate for a big clean room. Huge bathroom. Nice Nespresso machina. The pool is quite lovely. Of course this changes in a minute when the crappy guests show up. I took advantage of both Hammam and sauna. REALLY enjoyed until previously mentioned crap guests joined. Oh well. Always the case. No fault of hotel. What is their fault is that hallways outside room stink, like hot rotten eggs. So gross. Probably old carpets. My only real complaint!

I also had a great view of the main train station. The room was good for business travelers or personal.

The breakfast buffet is sub par. The fresh croissants and juicer were the best offerings. The elevator is scary. The rooms were very outdated and small and need a good deep cleaning and updating. The location was great. Near tons of dining and the docks. An easy walk to Le Meir or the courthouse area. If in the area again, I'd choose other accommodations.
