Leonardo Hotel Antwerp The Plaza

I would definitely come back to this hotel if I went to Antwerp again and can highly recommend it. We spent 5 nights in this hotel and were glad we chooses this hotel: The room (we had a double deluxe for 3 persons) was extremely spacious and well decorated. Even though it was on the street side there was no noise. Free coffee machine in the room. The whole hotel was clean and had a cosy welcoming atmosphere. Staff was especially helpful and very friendly. Breakfast was fabulous! Area is safe and close to the station. City centre is easy to access with public transport.

Perfectly comfortable room (deluxe), spacious, well equipped, windows to the backyard overseeing old trees. Well air conditioned. Good breakfast. Very restful stay. Located in the jewish neighborhoods and well connected to the city centre. Parking: 15 minutes for free, 4,40€ for 3 hours. We recommend using one of the P+R Parkings that can be reached by tram in 10-15 minutes.

This property does not meet the standard of a true 4-star hotel. Here are the main issues we experienced: • The mosquito net on the balcony was torn and hanging loose, making it impossible to enjoy the outdoor space. There’s also no privacy on the balcony — you can’t leave the door open or enjoy the sunset comfortably. • The coffee machine had a broken control panel. • No basic amenities were provided — just a generic 3-in-1 product for shower, sink, and shampoo. • Everything feels very outdated and poorly maintained. • Several light switches in the room didn’t work. Even worse, twice during the night, the lights in our room turned on by themselves — possibly controlled from the neighboring room. This was very disturbing. • Soundproofing is poor. We could clearly hear our neighbors clicking switches and trying to figure out what they control — possibly ours. • Many visible maintenance issues: peeling wallpaper, scratches, damaged shower curtain, loose fixtures, etc. That said, there were a few decent aspects: • Despite many complaints about breakfast in reviews, we found it quite standard — with most items people typically expect in a hotel breakfast. • The parking is not directly in the building, but it’s nearby, easy to access, and reasonably priced. • The mattress was comfortable, and the shower had strong water pressure, even though we were staying on the top floor. This hotel still needs renovation and much better quality control.
