Summary of traveller reviews

a&o Antwerpen Centraal offers a fantastic location right by the train station, making travel easy. While some guests found the rooms basic and noted issues with cleanliness and a lack of communal areas, the friendly staff are a consistent highlight. It's best suited for travellers prioritizing convenience and budget.

Good location one minute walk from the train station. The facilities are quite awful. There are no communal areas to sit, only a few chairs in the rooms. This is not ideal if you just want to sit down but not feel as if you’re intruding on people’s peace while they’re sleeping. There is no kitchen, no facilities for laundry. I realise it isn’t a very expensive hostel but other ones of the same or less price have offered more.

The room itself is actually quite nice but I had not one but two woman who appeared to be experiencing some sort of drug related issues and smoking joints in the middle of the night which is obviously not ideal. The location of the railway station attracts a weird crowd and definitely didn’t feel safe as a solo woman! Saving Grace was there was another girl in my room travelling but if I was you I would pay more to stay somewhere nicer. No bar like advertised.

The room was okay very basic my sheets were clean but looked stained and ripped. I thought the rooms would have lockers but this was not the case, luckily my suitcase has a lock on. Additionally it was a bit annoying the cleaner came at 9:30 as I was trying to prepare to checkout she also dropped my water bottle and broke it. Overall it felt safe and was mostly quiet at night
