Hotel FRANQ
Hotel Franq is my first choice when I am in Antwerp—a small, beautiful, and tastefully decorated boutique hotel with excellent service. The rooms are very nice and clean, and very quiet for a hotel in the city center.

PREMIER SUITES PLUS Antwerp
Great location, nice and quiet but only 5 minutes from the station. The kitchen area was good, but lacked facilities. I needed to ask for plates, bowls and cutlery. A toaster would've been useful.
