Very well located, the Hyllit Hotel can be found less than 5 minutes away from the Antwerp-Centraal train station. It is located in such a manner that you have a direct access to the historical centre of the city by foot, following a straight line.
The reception was very nice, I was received by very professional people who took the time to explain every commodities available in the hotel, from the mini-bar to the Emerald Lounge, and even how to access the rooftop restaurant and the health centre.
The room I was given was very clean, with different amenities available such as a TV with international channels (French, English, German), a coffee machine, and a phone.
Had to book a last minute hotel because a change of plans. Everything else was booked or too expensive. This hotel was great, both in terms of price as well as quality! Staff is super friendly and helpful, location is great is the nice neighborhood of Antwerpen Zuid, many restaurants and supermarkets within a few minutes walking, comfortable rooms and a nice breakfast. Highly recommend staying here if you are looking for a hotel to spend the night when visiting Antwerpen.
The location is superb, right in the city center. Finding free street parking was a challenge, and the hotel's own parking costs €19 a day. Breakfast was quite decent, served buffet style, and they even had fresh waffles. Overall, we were pleased with our stay, especially since we were traveling with a small child.
The location was conveniently placed next to central station. I even had a view of the beautiful Brussels Central station. The room provide everything I needed except for the mosquito that terrorized my sleep. The room also provide a fan since you can’t control the aircon.
What we liked:
Overall the hotel has ample, clean public space and the room was spacious with a separate toilet area, shower area and sink / vanity area. This made getting ready and using the facilities for two ppl easier. The room also had a fridge.
The hotel is also right across the road from the main train station and a short 10 min walk to bus depot (Rooseveltplaats). So very good for traveling into and through Antwerp.
For pre checkin and post checkout they offer private free lockers for your luggage. Through it is first come, first serve and they don’t have that many of them (we had no problems fitting a 40l bag, a 28l backpack and tote bag into one middle size storage cube).
Small things that we didn’t like but can deal with:
Limited in room amenities, there was no kettle or mugs, etc in the room. We were left a bottle of water but it wasn’t clear if it was free or not.
The area around the hotel is a little sketchy (very quiet at night) but decently lite. They did require your room code to get back into the hotel after midnight.
The hotel is close to the train station but farther from the old city. It is a good 20-25 min walk to that area. We are ok to walk, so didn’t mind much but it is further than some other hotels.
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.
Nice hotel and good location. People who work there are friendly and helpful. Free coffee, tea and water in the room. Room clean and has aircon. You are next to restaurants, bars, take aways and supermarkets. Very quick walk to the central area of Antwerp and to the river. There is a cafe downstairs. You only have until 8pm to check in so be careful. Didn't see any staff during the evenings, and you have to buzz yourself into the reception with your room card. Might be a bit problematic if you have issues and no staff working. You can get breakfast buffet for around €20.
Really enjoyed our stay from the time when we checked in until checking out. The service was great, rooms are very cosy and nice and very good value for money. I would stay again if I am back in Antwerp again.
This is a very old hotel with well-maintained facilities. The most important thing is that there is a Christmas market and an ice skating rink downstairs, which the children love very much. The taste and service of the restaurant in the market are very good. The Christmas atmosphere is very good. The hotel is next to the Carrefour supermarket, which is very convenient for replenishing snacks and fruits. It is just that you need to take a detour to get a taxi to Antwerp Central Station. If you don't need to take a taxi with your children, there are actually buses and subways downstairs, which is very convenient. You must stay here again when you come to Antwerp
Nice hotel , good location for first time coming , very easy access to everything around, food , markets everything at walking distance , very good
Would love to visit same hotel on my next visit soon

YYUCHENGIt close to the train station, subway, tram. Very convenient to transport to viewpoint.
The room is small, dusty, smell bad when we arrived.
We find out the dust everywhere when the light is on. It is easily to see it flew whole room.
The toilet smell is so strong when we opened the room door, no matter how many times we flush the toilet. The smell is continuously coming out. There is no air circulation in the toilet.
WWan Afifi Zawawie Wan ZakariaThe Ibis Budget near Antwerp Central offers a no-frills but perfectly adequate experience for travellers seeking a comfortable and convenient place to rest after a day of exploring the city. It prioritizes the basic necessities, ensuring a good night's sleep without unnecessary extras, making it an excellent option for budget-conscious travellers. Its prime location next to Antwerp Central Station is a major advantage. This provides easy access to public transport for exploring Antwerp and beyond, including direct Thalys connections. The rooms are described as modern and clean, which is crucial for a comfortable stay. While compact (around 13-15 sqm), they are designed to be functional, typically including a comfortable ”Sweet Bed™ by ibis budget”, a desk, a flat-screen TV with cable channels, and a private bathroom with a shower and eco-friendly toiletries. The room also features a separate toilet. For quick snacks and drinks outside of breakfast hours, vending machines are available but they only accept cash.
Llily_yang9For self-driving tours, this is a rare free parking hotel with a spacious parking lot. Although it is still 3-4 kilometers away from the city center, compared with the hourly parking fee in the city, free is very tempting.
The room is small but has everything. The facilities of 3 single beds meet the needs of a family of three. The countertop built with drainage on the wall of the bathroom provides ample storage space.
A very cost-effective stay experience.
TTopperUKThe hotel is fabulously well placed, it is right next to the central station and this saves a lot of difficulty with luggage!
This particular establishment needs a little maintenance. As you enter into the building, the carpets/mats are filthy and the paint is chipped off in many locations giving a rundown look. Reception was clearly overrun and requires extra workers, although the girl working upon my arrival did a fantastic job despite some particularly awkward tour guides hassling for attention!
The room was not up to standard cleaning wise. No mattress protector! - This should be grounds for admonishment over anything else. If I stayed at a four or five star establishment without mattress protectors, I would refuse the room ordinarily. It is simply not hygienic. The balcony on my room had clearly not been cleaned in a very long time and there was an ashtray overflowing along with cotton buds and wrappers.
CChris928The hotel is located in an average location, about 15 minutes walk from the station
The room has a kitchenette for easy use
It's quite convenient
No room cleaning service during stay
GGuest UserSuper General manager, Super hosts,
I would definitely book this hotel again and again if the service and terms would be the same.
Central located, check-in procedure was easy.
Bar with snacks/food/drinks was a excetional service :)
Tip The bathroom smell - Can be solved to change/clean the drain/sifon.
Tip: Airconditioning was'nt there or the instructions to put the airconditioning on was unclear. The room was too hot to sleepwell. Opening windows was a solution but then the sound of the voices among the streets was too loud.
Tip: Lack of service with our booking. While I was trying to pay in advance. There was a pop-up message that mu room with breakfast wasnt available. But the payment process was still ongoing. After that, I saw I booked a Superior Room without Breakfast. I was paying more for what I wanted in first instance. There was no solution from the Hotel and/or Trip.com.
