Citybox Antwerp City Center
Great no frills hotel. Very central. Clean big functional room with comfortable bed. Only issue was luggage storage which did not feel particularly secure - check in machine gives you key to luggage room where you can leave your bags, but it is entirely unmonitored. Otherwise highly recommended.

The whole experience was not good. From poor parking availability to the awkward entrance & nonexistent advertised restaurant, all was not as expected. The bathroom in my room was not clean with mold in the shower. Do not recommend.
