Crowne Plaza Antwerp by IHG
The reception staff were exceptional. Extremely helpful at all times. Also the house keeping staff were very efficient. We stayed for a month and our room was immaculate. We chose The Crowne Plaza not only for its location but we had a bath in our room, which is non negotiable for us. Thank you
