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.

There were random pieces of trash around the room left from previous guests. The bathroom smelled quite bad and there was a towel and a razor there from someone before. The toilet seat was dirty, and there was toilet paper thrown around the floor. I also got around 7 bug bites in the morning, I hope it was just mosquitos. Also, the door to the room wouldn't close unless you slammed it, so people accidentally left it open a number of times. Finally, the promo pictures are edited to make it larger

Good cheap stay right beside the central station. It was pretty clear the person in ny bed before me didn't use the sheets provided as there was dead skin and fingernails all over the mattress and gum stuck to the bedframe. Also my 4 bedroom room only had 2 lockers, so it was a little unsettling leaving my bags in the room without anything to keep them secure. Room was very small ans cramped even though it only had 4 beds. Good for a night or 2.

A great place to stay literally 2 minutes walk from main railway station ,, comfortable , the rooms were quite untidy but this was more to do with the clientele that particular evening ,, certainly kept me fit as you would wait ages for a lift ,, I felt the vending machines for water was overpriced even in transport hubs €2.50 is norm not €3.20,, wasn’t happy having to use my bank card for everything but it’s the way of the world these days eh?
