Van der Valk Hotel Antwerpen

Excellent hotel. Staff at reception were all really helpful, professional and friendly, especially the day staff. Breakfast was amazing and the staff at breakfast very helpful. Good location of hotel and parking included in the price.

Clean room, great shower, friendly + helpful staff. Overall a great experience. Be sure to get your parking ticket validated at the front desk if you drive to the hotel, otherwise it’s 25 euros to park in the lot.

They do not allow 3 adults in their large rooms with 2 double beds. This was not clear to me while making my booking on Expedia. They claimed this is due to fire insurance. Be that as it may, the room is plenty big, it could comfortably house 4 adults. If this policy has zero exceptions, that is fine but how they handled it was not pleasant. Can I cancel the room? Sure but you will be charged the entire full price of your stay regardless. The only option I was presented with was booking an entire other room for our 3rd guest in our party for 800 euros. I felt forced into spending a lot more money and did not feel taken care of in any way. It would have been nice if they could have worked some kind of a deal (maybe downgrade the big room to 2 smaller rooms and charge 300 or 400 euros, or food vouchers or something). I just felt squeezed for money and dissatisfied. The rooms are nice but if you want more than 2 adults in your double bed room book somewhere else.
