Detailed Reviews: 20 Best Hotels in Antwerp Belgium — The Full Breakdown
1. Hotel FRANQ
The Vibe
Boutique without the stuffiness — FRANQ sits 400 meters from Meir, Groenplaats, and the Cathedral. Guests rave about the beds (9.5 location helps, but the sleep quality seals it). The Belgian-French restaurant downstairs means you don’t have to wander far for a proper meal after a day on the cobblestones.
What You Actually Get
Every room packs a minibar, air conditioning, a Bluetooth system, flat-screen TV, bathrobes, and slippers. The private parking is a rare Antwerp perk, though you’ll want to book it ahead. Wi-Fi is standard, and the bar & lounge stocks a wide range of spirits. Breakfast runs continental or buffet. Heads up — booking more than 4 rooms triggers different policies and a prepayment requirement.
Choose this if: you want a solid, well-located base with a restaurant you’ll actually use. The 8.8 rating reflects consistent quality across 1,500+ reviews.
2. Botanic Sanctuary Antwerp – The Leading Hotels of the World
The Vibe
This is Antwerp’s landmark 5-star superior property — think world-class spa treatments, a sprawling historic estate feel, and service that anticipates your next move before you make it. The 9.6 location score places it in the best-rated area of the city, but the sanctuary-like grounds make you forget you’re in a bustling diamond capital.
What You Actually Get
Buffet breakfast is the standard, and private parking is available at the hotel. The property is part of The Leading Hotels of the World, so expect consistent luxury across facilities — a full-service spa, multiple dining outlets, and meticulously maintained gardens. Check-out is 11:00, which is earlier than some competitors, so plan your last morning accordingly. The 9.1 rating from 1,400+ reviews confirms this isn’t just hype.
Choose this if: you’re celebrating something special or just want to feel like a celebrity for a weekend. This is the top-end pick for the best hotels in Antwerp Belgium.
Check Tonight’s Price for Botanic Sanctuary Antwerp – The Leading Hotels of the World →
3. BnB Antwerp Centrum
The Vibe
Spacious, grown-up, and quietly luxurious. BnB Antwerp Centrum operates as an adults-only property with a single one-bedroom layout that feels more like a private apartment than a hotel room. The 9.7 location score is among the highest in this list — you’re on Lange Nieuwstraat, right in the action without the noise.
What You Actually Get
The property includes free WiFi, a lift (rare in Antwerp’s older buildings), 24-hour front desk, concierge service, and full-day security. A coffee shop and breakfast inclusions round out the amenities. Private parking on-site solves Antwerp’s biggest visitor headache. The 24-hour front desk is a bonus, since many B&Bs in the city have limited reception hours. Over 1,050 reviews sustain the 9.5 rating — that’s consistency.
Choose this if: you’re a couple or solo traveler who values space, quiet, and the ability to park without circling for 20 minutes.
4. Maison Nationale City Flats & Suites
The Vibe
Designer flats with a 9.9 location that puts the Cathedral of Our Lady, Groenplaats Square, and Town Square within a 4-minute walk. Maison Nationale is modern, sleek, and stocked with hardwood floors, flat-screen TVs, iPod docks, and fully equipped living spaces. The comfy bed rating is legit — guests consistently call them out.
What You Actually Get
Each suite includes a living room, minibar, and bathroom with shower or bath. Breakfast options go beyond standard — continental, vegetarian, gluten-free, and breakfast-to-go are all available. The 9.9 location is the joint-highest in this guide, tied only with Charming Suites Jan Zonder Vrees and The Greenhouse. Late check-in until midnight offers flexibility for evening arrivals.
Choose this if: you want to be steps from the Cathedral and Groenplaats in a modern, design-focused suite with flexible breakfast options.
Check Tonight’s Price for Maison Nationale City Flats & Suites →
5. 22b&b
The Vibe
Family-run energy with a 9.6 rating — 22b&b feels like staying at a friend’s stylish Antwerp home. The terrace overlooks a garden and the city skyline, making it a breakfast spot you’ll linger at. The 9.1 location score puts you in 2018 Antwerp, a quieter residential pocket still close to the center.
What You Actually Get
Rooms come with private bathrooms, tea and coffee makers, free WiFi, work desks, sofa beds, and parquet floors. The child-friendly buffet is a standout for families — many B&Bs in Antwerp aren’t set up for kids. Outdoor seating and dining areas add summer appeal. Check-out is 10:30, so it’s tighter than some; plan your last morning.
Choose this if: you’re traveling with kids and want a B&B that actually accommodates them without side-eye.
6. Charming Suites Jan Zonder Vrees
The Vibe
Look, the name says it all: “Charming Suites.” And it delivers. This 9.6-rated B&B sits on Palingbrug, a quiet street that’s somehow a 4-minute walk from the Cathedral and 600 meters from Groenplaats. The 9.9 location score is the real deal — you’re in the historic core without the tourist-trap noise.
What You Actually Get
Family rooms with private bathrooms form the core offering. Free WiFi is included. The check-in window (15:00-19:30) is tighter than most — if you’re arriving late, you’ll need to coordinate. The property is 9 km from Antwerp International Airport, so a taxi runs about 20-25 minutes. The MAS Museum is less than 1 km away, making this a culture lover’s base.
Choose this if: your Antwerp itinerary revolves around the Cathedral, Groenplaats, and MAS Museum, and you want a quiet street to sleep on.

7. ADA
The Vibe
ADA in Hemelstraat is a B&B that leans into outdoor chill — sun terrace, garden, and a bar make it feel more like a guesthouse than a standard B&B. The 9.0 location score is solid, putting you in 2018 Antwerp with good access to the center without the foot traffic of the tourist core.
What You Actually Get
Family rooms with private bathrooms, free WiFi, work desks, TVs, and wardrobes. The garden and sun terrace are the real selling points — not many Antwerp B&Bs have this kind of outdoor space. Bicycle parking is available for city explorers. Private parking is also an option, which is a big plus in this area. The bar on-site means you don’t have to go out for a nightcap.
Choose this if: you prefer a neighborhood B&B with outdoor space, a bar, and the option to park your car or bicycle.
8. The Museum – Au Lit, Jérôme!
The Vibe
Staying in a classified 1892 notary residence sounds gimmicky, but The Museum pulls it off. The suites are in a family home that’s been carefully preserved — hardwood floors, seating areas, and cable TV coexist with 19th-century bones. The 9.5 location puts you 200 meters from the Royal Museum of Fine Arts (KMSKA) and 1.5 km from Groenplaats and Grote Markt.
What You Actually Get
Free WiFi, a seating area in each suite, and flat-screen TVs with cable. The property enforces quiet hours from 22:00 to 08:00 and does not accommodate hen or stag parties — this is a serene stay. Check-out is a generous 12:00. The 9.6 rating from 350+ reviews is backed by consistent praise for the comfy beds and historic atmosphere.
Choose this if: you’re an art lover visiting KMSKA or someone who values quiet hours and historic character over hotel-chain anonymity.
9. Hotel De Witte Lelie – Small Luxury Hotels of the World
The Vibe
A 17-room boutique hotel that feels like a secret garden in the middle of Antwerp. De Witte Lelie is part of Small Luxury Hotels of the World, and the 9.7 location score puts you a 5-minute walk from Grote Markt and 8 minutes from Groenplaats. The real draw? Breakfast served on the terrace during warmer months, surrounded by the romantic garden.
What You Actually Get
Air-conditioned suites with private bathrooms, free Wi-Fi, and a garden terrace that’s rare for a central hotel. Breakfast options include continental, buffet, and breakfast-to-go. Private parking is available at the hotel (book ahead). The 9.4 rating from 350+ reviews reflects consistent quality — the comfy beds get frequent shout-outs. Check-out is 12:00, giving you a relaxed morning.
Choose this if: you’re on a romantic trip and want a boutique hotel with a garden, great location, and Small Luxury Hotels quality standards.
Check Tonight’s Price for Hotel De Witte Lelie -Small Luxury Hotels of the World →
10. Puur B&B
The Vibe
Puur B&B in the Borgerhout district is the outlier that works — a seasonal outdoor swimming pool, sun terrace, and outdoor fireplace make it a mini-resort within Antwerp’s city limits. The 9.2 location score reflects a quieter residential area, but the trade-off is space and amenities you won’t find in the center.
What You Actually Get
Air-conditioned rooms with private bathrooms, free toiletries, minibars, and parquet floors. The outdoor pool operates seasonally (check ahead for opening dates). Free WiFi is included. Private parking is available on-site — another plus for drivers. The 17:00 check-in is later than average, so plan accordingly if you’re arriving early.
Choose this if: you’re driving to Antwerp and want a pool, garden, and outdoor fireplace without paying city-center rates.
11. Guesthouse Nights by Morpheus
The Vibe
Adults-only and housed in a historic building, Guesthouse Nights by Morpheus leans into quiet sophistication. The 9.5 rating from 350+ reviews is driven by comfortable rooms and an excellent breakfast — guests specifically call out the morning spread. The 8.9 location score puts it in 2060 Antwerp, a neighborhood that’s slightly off the tourist trail but well-connected.
What You Actually Get
Air-conditioned rooms with private bathrooms with walk-in showers, free WiFi, and private check-in/check-out. The 16:00-18:00 check-in window is the tightest on this list — you absolutely must coordinate your arrival. Quiet hours run 22:00-08:00, and stag/hen parties are not allowed. Continental breakfast is included. Private parking is available.
Choose this if: you want an adults-only, quiet, historic stay and can work your schedule around the narrow check-in window.
12. Paulus41
The Vibe
A recently renovated homestay in a historic building on Sint-Paulusstraat. Paulus41 is adults-only, which keeps the energy calm and collected. The 9.7 location score places you in the best-rated area of Antwerp, and the balcony with city views is a genuine perk — not every central property has outdoor space.
What You Actually Get
Parquet floors, a private bathroom with a walk-in shower, free WiFi, and a terrace. The balcony offers city views — request a room with one when booking. A hairdresser/beautician is available on-site, and bicycle parking is provided. Private check-in/check-out is available. Quiet hours run 22:00-08:00, and the property doesn’t allow stag/hen parties. Check-in runs until 23:30, which is more flexible than many B&Bs.
Choose this if: you want a central, adults-only stay with a balcony, historic character, and flexible late check-in.
13. B&B Sint-Mariaburg
The Vibe
B&B Sint-Mariaburg sits in a quieter part of Antwerp (postcode 2180) and trades central bustle for garden tranquility. The 9.1 location score reflects a residential setting, but the four-star comfort and free on-site private parking make it a compelling choice for drivers or anyone who prioritizes space over walk-to-everything convenience.
What You Actually Get
Air-conditioned family rooms with private bathrooms, private entrances, and garden views. Free WiFi is included. The garden and terrace are available for guest use. Breakfast options include continental or buffet. The 16:00-17:00 check-in window is extremely tight — you’ll need to coordinate arrival precisely. Free on-site private parking is a major perk, especially given Antwerp’s parking challenges.
Choose this if: you’re driving and want free parking, garden peace, and a four-star B&B experience without paying central rates.
14. Rock Lobster City Lodge
The Vibe
Rock Lobster City Lodge has the best name on this list and a 9.7 location score to back it up. Housed in a historic building on Kreeftstraat (fittingly, “Lobster Street”), this B&B offers a unique atmosphere with garden or city views from the rooms. The comfy bed rating is strong, and the kitchenettes make it practical for longer stays.
What You Actually Get
Private bathrooms, air-conditioning, kitchenettes, garden or city views, and free WiFi. The garden, terrace, and bar are available for guest use. The historic building character means rooms vary — some have more character than others. Check-in requires advance notice of your arrival time. The 9.5 rating from 250+ reviews is built on location and comfort consistency.
Choose this if: you want central location, historic charm, and the ability to make your own meals with a kitchenette.
15. De Gulden Poorte, a LXRYHOME Hotel Collection
The Vibe
De Gulden Poorte blends historic building bones with LXRYHOME’s modern service standards. The 9.5 location score on Lange Nieuwstraat puts you in the best-rated area of Antwerp. The 24-hour front desk and concierge service are standout features — many Antwerp hotels in this range don’t offer round-the-clock reception.
What You Actually Get
Free WiFi, private check-in/check-out, a 24-hour front desk, and concierge service. Private parking is available at the hotel. The historic building means rooms have character but may vary in size — check the room details when booking. Check-in runs until midnight, which is generous. The 9.3 rating from 200+ reviews reflects strong location and service consistency.
Choose this if: you want historic character but need the reliability of a 24-hour front desk and concierge.
16. A Place Antwerp – Boutique Suites & Flats – Vrijdagmarkt 1
The Vibe
These apartments sit on Vrijdagmarkt in Antwerp’s fashion district — think designer boutiques, creative energy, and a 4-minute walk to the historic Grand Place. The 9.9 location score is among the highest in this guide, and the apartment setup (living room, kitchen, separate bedroom) gives you space you won’t get in a hotel room.
What You Actually Get
Each suite or apartment has a flat-screen TV, iPod docking station, refrigerator, and a bathroom with shower or bath. Free WiFi is included. Decor is homely and modern. The key requirement: you must communicate your expected arrival time at least 1 day in advance. Check-ins after 22:00 are not accepted, so plan your arrival carefully. Parking is available but limited — confirm when booking.
Choose this if: you want apartment-style space in the fashion district, can plan your arrival 24 hours ahead, and value location above all.

17. The Greenhouse
The Vibe
Another 9.9 location, another exceptional rating — The Greenhouse on Rijke Beukelaarstraat delivers a B&B experience centered on garden tranquility. The name isn’t metaphorical; the sun terrace and garden are central to the experience. Breakfast goes beyond standard with continental, vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options — one of the most inclusive breakfast menus in this guide.
What You Actually Get
Family rooms with private bathrooms, garden views, work desks, sofa beds, and free WiFi. The lounge, coffee shop, and picnic area add communal spaces. The property does not accommodate stag/hen parties and enforces quiet hours. In response to COVID-19, additional safety and sanitation measures are in effect. The 9.6 rating from 200+ reviews is among the highest in the B&B category.
Choose this if: you have dietary restrictions and want a central B&B with garden space, or you’re a family who values location and outdoor access.
18. Flora
The Vibe
Flora on Korte Nieuwstraat is the second-highest-rated property in this guide at 9.8/10. A 3-minute walk from the Cathedral of Our Lady, 400 meters from Groenplaats, and a 7-minute walk from Meir — this is as central as it gets without being on a main square. The 9.9 location score confirms it: Flora occupies prime Antwerp real estate.
What You Actually Get
A garden, terrace, bar, and free WiFi are included. Breakfast goes above average with continental, vegetarian, vegan, halal, and gluten-free options. Private check-in/check-out is available, and paid parking is offered. Antwerp International Airport is 7 km away. The 200+ reviews driving the 9.8 rating consistently praise the location and the inclusive breakfast. Check-out is a comfortable 12:00.
Choose this if: you want a near-perfect-rated hotel in the absolute center with dietary-inclusive breakfast and a garden to decompress in.
19. Antwerp Business Suites
The Vibe
Antwerp Business Suites does exactly what it says on the tin: suites designed for work travelers, 100 meters from Groenplaats. The 9.9 location score is remarkable, and the 9.4 rating from 150+ reviews suggests consistent quality. The comfy bed rating is strong — useful after a long day of meetings or sightseeing.
What You Actually Get
Rooms with flat-screen TVs, coffee machines, seating areas, and private bathrooms with free toiletries and hairdryers. A business center is available on-site. The critical caveat: reception hours are limited. You must inform the property of your estimated arrival time in advance, and bring the credit card and valid ID used for booking. The 15:00-19:00 check-in window is tight — plan your arrival for the afternoon.
Choose this if: you’re on a business trip or want a functional, well-located base and can work around limited reception hours.
20. Huis Dujardin Bed&Breakfast
The Vibe
Huis Dujardin is the highest-rated property in this guide at 9.9/10 — a near-flawless score from 150+ reviews. Located on Kerkstraat in 2060 Antwerp, it’s a four-star B&B with a 9.1 location score in a quieter residential area. The free on-site private parking and electric vehicle charging station are rare perks that make this a standout for drivers.
What You Actually Get
Air-conditioned rooms with private bathrooms, parquet floors, work desks, TVs, and free toiletries. The garden and terrace are available for guest use. Breakfast options include continental or vegetarian — specify dietary needs in advance. Free WiFi is included. The 16:00-19:00 check-in window is tight, and photo ID and credit card are required. Electric vehicle owners, take note: the free charging station is a major value-add.
Choose this if: you’re driving (especially an EV), want four-star comfort, and prioritize a near-perfect guest rating over absolute central location.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the best area to stay in Antwerp?
The Antwerp District (2000) — including areas around the Cathedral of Our Lady, Groenplaats, and Meir — offers the highest concentration of top-rated hotels and B&Bs. Properties like Maison Nationale City Flats & Suites (#4) and Charming Suites Jan Zonder Vrees (#6) both score 9.9 for location in this area. For quieter stays, 2018 Antwerp (22b&b, ADA) and 2060 Antwerp (Huis Dujardin, Guesthouse Nights) provide garden space and parking without sacrificing quality.
Which Antwerp hotels offer free cancellation?
Cancellation policies vary by property and rate type. Hotels like Hotel FRANQ (#1) and Botanic Sanctuary Antwerp (#2) typically offer flexible rates with free cancellation up to a certain date, but require checking the specific booking terms. B&Bs like BnB Antwerp Centrum (#3) and Maison Nationale (#4) also offer flexible options. Always review the cancellation policy on the booking page before confirming — some non-refundable rates are cheaper but lock you in.
Are pets allowed at these Antwerp hotels?
Pet policies vary. Hotel De Witte Lelie (#9) includes pets in its facilities list — confirm specific pet fees when booking. Most B&Bs on this list (BnB Antwerp Centrum, Maison Nationale, 22b&b) do not advertise pet-friendly policies, so assume they are not unless confirmed directly. Hotel FRANQ (#1) and Botanic Sanctuary (#2) may accept pets on request, but you’ll need to check their specific terms. Always contact the property in advance to avoid surprises.
How do I get from Antwerp International Airport to my hotel?
Antwerp International Airport (ANR) is about 7-9 km from the city center. A taxi to properties around Groenplaats or the Cathedral runs approximately 15-20 minutes and €20-30. Several properties on this list are within walking distance of Antwerpen-Centraal railway station (which connects directly to the airport via bus 51 or a €10-15 taxi ride). For the best hotels in Antwerp Belgium located near the center like Flora (#18) and Antwerp Business Suites (#19), a taxi from the airport takes under 15 minutes.
Which hotels in Antwerp have private parking?
Several properties offer private parking, but availability and cost vary. Hotel FRANQ (#1) and Botanic Sanctuary (#2) offer private parking at the hotel. BnB Antwerp Centrum (#3) has on-site private parking. Puur B&B (#10) and B&B Sint-Mariaburg (#13) provide free on-site private parking — a significant value. Huis Dujardin (#20) offers free on-site private parking plus an electric vehicle charging station. Always book parking in advance, as spaces are limited.
When’s the best time to visit Antwerp?
May through September offers the best weather for garden terraces at properties like De Witte Lelie (#9) and the pool at Puur B&B (#10). December brings the popular Antwerp Christmas market around Groenplaats — book early for properties like Antwerp Business Suites (#19) or Flora (#18) a 3-minute walk away. For lower rates and fewer crowds, visit in March-April or October-November; many B&Bs offer better availability during these shoulder months.
