Rock Lobster City Lodge

Bart and Eva can’t be described. You have to get your own experience and make your own decision. Definitely a place to bookmark if you are looking to experience the Antwerps music scene… Exceptional bedding 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 #soulfulpeople #musicscene

An absolute gem of a BnB. Fantastic hosts. Super comfortable. Clean. Totally unique. Bart and Eva have put so much heart into this place. Bart recommended a fantastic restaurant on the pretty square. Vegans should definitely check out Humm. We stayed the Icelandic music suite which was stunning, so fun, and a huge space. We loved the extra deep bathtub and the electric beds! Thank you Rock lobster Lodge we can’t wait to return.

I booked Rock Lobster City Lodge because I wanted to stay in a cool place with a soul—a place that would feel a little bit like home. I was on a city trip with my 10 year old daughter and I wanted her to experience the thrill of playing records on a turntable for the first time. I also wanted a cosy place where we could hang out and listen to music after a long day out sightseeing. This gem of a B&B delivers all that and more. Eva and Bart are the perfect hosts: They are kind, helpful, easy-going, friendly and full of great tips. For starters, the place is located in a beautiful, central neighborhood away from the tourist circuit but only a 15 minute walk from Central station. Great restaurants abound on the bucolic tree-lined square down the street. The B&B is spotless, and my favorite part is the lounge with comfy chairs, the afore-mentioned turntable, soft lighting and a fun selection of vinyl to play. We stayed in the Glam Rock room, which is on the second floor and faces the back. A gorgeous black & white photo portrait of David Bowie greeted us every morning and the bed is very comfortable (complete with hard or soft pillow option). There's a small courtyard in the back with tables and chairs (perfect for sunny summer breakfast or a beer on warm evenings), and a kitchen where you can help yourself to fresh local beers (honor system, payable at the end). Continental breakfast is 19 euros a person and doesn't disappoint. I just with they had homemade hot cocoa. Bart and Eva will be more than happy to help with recommendations, including Eva's favorite, the Plantin-Moretus museum, a renaissance family's house/printing business housing 500 year-old printing presses and rare books). Don't skip this museum--it's fantastic. Thank you Bart and Eva for having created Rock Lobster Lodge. We will be back!

Rock Lobster City Lodge, an amazing place with amazing service. We had the opportunity to be in the Blues inspired room with a view on the green courtyard. It must be said that the hosts are wonderful. Eva and Bart know exactly what you need (good bed, good wine, good company, ...) and the breakfast tasted super great. In the evening Bart did not bother being surrounded by 4-5 women talking about their small and big problems and enlightened the evening with his company and some small talk. I would definite recommend Rock Lobster City Lodge to friends and family for countless reasons. And also the location is great, near a lively square (Dageraadplaats) with restaurants and bars and in a very beautiful neighborhood.
