Hotels near Oever, Brasschaat

Pros: - decent location; about 7mins walk from the Antwerp Centraal, and 2mins from Flixbus busstop, though in a relatively quiet corner. - they have a small common dining area on the ground floor with microwave, fridge, kettle and vending machines selling snacks and coffee. the coffee machine needs some upkeeping though, and the snacks vending machine was done during our period of stay. Cons: - if you stay on the lower level floors be prepared to keep your curtains closed - the whole room can be seen clearly from outside the hotel. - room has everything you need but can't help feeling like it's hollow, barren and empty; there's barely any interior works done to the room. - no kettle in the room and you will need to deposit 10euros to borrow one.

Basic, very unimpressive stay, we arrived late and had a family room. A double + single for my teenage child. They must have given us the worst room in the hotel. The room was dark and dingy, window opened up to a brick wall not far away, and the single bed was placed in a tiny room not much bigger than the single bed. Very claustrophobic. In fact could have been used as a cupboard. My suggestion is to open up the room and remove the wall and move everything around. My child slept with me in the bed. I would not have expected her to sleep in that tiny boxed up area. It just did not feel nice. So all 3 of us slept in the double bed. We didn't have any spare pillows when I requested spares. We didn't have a shower gel either, and the bath towels were so small they didn't even wrap around you I was pretty disappointed and requested to be moved. They moved us the next day. The room had a double bed and a sofa bed. Well, I don't know which was worse. That sofa bed was so hard it was like sleeping on the floor. The breakfast was limited. They best day was Sunday, and we noticed each day that we had less on the buffet as the days went on. The cornflakes were stale. The pancakes miserable. No hot items other than eggs and beans. Just very basic. We chose this hotel because of the parking. However, because we had a big car, we were told it would not fit in the car park. Therefore, the only good thing that was good about this hotel was the location which is close to shops and restaurants and the train station. I did speak to the reception manager the next day and stated my points. She was polite and helpful. Took my points on board. However, I'm not sure if anything will be done about it! For a 4 star hotel and the money we paid per night I would expect more! I don't think I would come back again.

Great location so close to the train station and between 2 subways stations! Service ok, cleanliness ok but could be improved (I can tell that it was clean but not deep on the table, and the soap/shampoo dispenser was kind of broken so it spread all around bathtub)

We (couple) took an apartment with separated room, and it was roomy and very quiet. Everything was clean, and almost as important, new (2023). I asked in my reservation for a second duvet for the bed, as my better half is a duvet-hogger, and it was there when we arrived. It was a double width too, so we ended up with lots of duvet on the bed, but as the bed was wide enough, that was no problem. The pillows where a bit high for our taste. There were three to choose, and the thinnest one was just on the line for us, but we slept all right. Bed is confy, with that ”thick mattress with thin mattress on top” concept. Movement from one side to the other travels more that in a full viscoelastic mattress, but less than in a spring one, so it was ok for us. The hotel has two buildings, connected by a first-floor gangway with apartments on the sides. We got an apartment, the number 111, that was in that connection, and it was really quiet, the windows looking to some inside court, rather wide, and I think no neighbouring apartments at all. We went at the time of some big festival in Antwerp, and we heard nothing either from outside or from the neighbours. Only drawback of this particular room is that the bathroom is adapted for wheelchairs, so the shower is covered by just a curtain and with a couple of supports that restrict movement a bit, but that was a minor inconvenience for us. On the plus side, the bathroom was really big. We liked the decoration, and the lighting possibilities too. The oven is a combination microwave-grill, and was clean too, as I say, everything is rather new so that can change with time. All in all, a very good experience.

Small, clean, affordable hotel located next to Central station. The room was basic but cute and comfortable. The beds were comfortable. We had a double bed with a twin bed bunk bed above which was perfect for our family of 3. There’s soap and towels, but no shampoo, hairdryer, kettle, or aircon. The window opens only a few inches, unless you get them to unlock it. We brought a portable fan, so that helped on such a warm day. There’s a Lidl supermarket next door and a cafe a block away. A couple blocks away is the diamond district with an interesting mixture of Hasidic Jews and middle eastern Muslim immigrants. The city is very walkable from here. From the station, the Meir is about 10 minutes walk and the Grote Markt is about 20 minutes.

We have reserved this hotel using a Bongo check and we have been pleasantly surprised by this new hotel, very conveniently located within a few hundred metres from the Central Train Station in Antwerp, that provides for everything a traveller needs in terms of accommodation and is at the top of technology as it states: it's connected. The staff is very nice and helpful and we really had a great stay. I warmly recommand it. And, as a little bonus, they are very accommodating when it comes to the four paw members of our families.

Well there are not enough words to describe this beautiful hotel . The location was perfect the facilities the staff all very helpful . The breakfast was one of the best Hilton's I have stayed at for a long time . Fresh fruits great eggs and breads . So much choice and the staff were so helpful . Thank you all

Wonderful luxury hostel. As comfortable as can be. The beds are arranged so sensibly that privacy is felt. Lobby is great. The coffee machine is available all day free of charge. It is located far from the center, but you can easily get there by tram. And 15 minutes walk to Antwerp South Station (Berchem), from where it is convenient to get to Brussels and its airport (even closer than from the central station).

The environment is good and the hotel is clean.

Onze eerdere ervaringen met De Jonckheer waren zeer positief, maar helaas voldeed ons recente verblijf niet helemaal aan onze verwachtingen. Bij het boeken hadden we specifiek gevraagd om een kamer met een tweepersoonsmatras in plaats van twee aparte bedden. Ondanks de vriendelijke ontvangst kregen we echter een kamer toegewezen met twee losse bedden. Toen we dit aan de receptie meldden, kregen we een onvriendelijke reactie vanuit een kantoortje achter de balie, waarbij ons werd verteld dat een upgrade niet mogelijk was omdat ze volgeboekt waren. Dit was teleurstellend, vooral gezien het feit dat we dit verzoek een paar dagen van tevoren al hadden doorgegeven zonder enige tegenreactie. Bij het inchecken werd ons gevraagd hoe laat we wilden ontbijten. We gaven aan rond 09.00u / 09.30u te willen ontbijten, wat genoteerd werd. De volgende ochtend arriveerden we om 09.30u in de ontbijtzaal, maar tot onze verbazing was men al aan het opruimen. Gelukkig deed een attente medewerkster haar uiterste best om ons alsnog van een ontbijt te voorzien, waardoor zij een lichtpuntje werd tijdens ons verblijf. Bij het uitchecken ondervonden we vertraging omdat de receptioniste druk bezig was met een telefoongesprek over een restaurantboeking. Haar communicatie klonk nogal neerbuigend, wat niet bijdroeg aan een positieve ervaring. Een andere gast die wilde inchecken kreeg een formulier toegeschoven met de begeleidende tekst ”Dit invullen”. Wij verbleven in het hotel vanwege de uitvaart van een familielid en hadden dus best wat haast. Helaas werden we niet efficiënt geholpen. Uiteindelijk besloten we dus maar om online uit te checken en vertrokken we zonder enige begroeting van de receptioniste. Samenvattend, hoewel De Jonckheer een heel mooi en comfortabel hotel is waar we graag verblijven, is er duidelijk ruimte voor verbetering, met name op het gebied van klantenservice aan de receptie.
