de Gulde Schoen

This is not a usual Hotel But a series of limited number of a Very beautiful Stylishly decorated suites With wide spaces. Cozy and relaxing atmosphere .. Location is more than amazing ,, just in the corner of the main square . Near to the top places in Antwerp . Definitely worth to stay here ..

This is a really lovely aparthotel - but don’t be fooled by the TtipAdvisor photos. This hotel has changed in recent times, there is no lobby, no breakfast etc. it is simply an aparthotel, so that means the room and room only. Thanks to a digital key system you don’t even meet anyone. The room itself is very nice. The hotel provided an extra bed for my 4 year old. The highlight, without doubt, is the location. It is simply perfect for seeing the best of Antwerp.

Stayed at the Gulde Schoen Hotel during our recent visit to Antwerp and on our experience I can only recommend it for anyone looking for a smart, centrally located bolt hole in this beautiful city. The old building has been sympathetically converted with much of its old character having been preserved. Our suite was absolutely beautiful, lavishly equipped and spotlessly clean. The staff were all delightful and eager to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Highly recommended.

If you want to stay somewhere really special in Antwerp, this is your place. De Gulde Schoen is a really old building, refurbished over several years and turned into a boutique suite hotel with soul. When we arrived the staff prepared a welcome drink, invited us to the bar and gave us a great introduction to Antwerp. Friendly, informative, smart, not pushy. Really loved the staff. If your in Antwerp for business you will be happy to experience fast internet, something we lacked at other locations. We had breakfast in our room and it was one of the best room service experiencs in a long time. The service felt 5-star. Without the uptight nature of posh hotels. This has been my most enjoyable stay in years. Expensive? Yes, but worth it for a special occasion. Bonus: the subtle scent and the jazz playing when you open the door to your suite for the first time. A lovely welcome.

I’m very confused about this hotel and our stay there. We chose this hotel because we saw it form the outside as we were walking through the city, and we thought it was very pretty and special. We went online to checkout the rooms and all the details and we still thought it was super pretty and special; that’s why we decided to book it. So first of all, it was super very expensive, but since it was only one night we decided we wouldn’t mind paying this high rate. When my fiancé and I got there we were immediately confused: even though it was nice and pretty, it wasn’t enough, not enough for what we payed. As of they tried very hard to be very fancy, but its fanciness felt off and forced. The room was super big, and I guess also comfortable but I found the entire decoration to be not of good taste. Breakfast was also very puzzling; the restaurant was barely a restaurant, small and empty. The food was good but I had to order it to the lady from front desk. I don’t know if I’m making any sense with this review, all I can say is that all the while, we found ourselves feeling like we had overpaid for what we were getting. And that we never understood why it was so expensive if it wasn’t even that top service, top installations, top food, top everything. I would never recommend paying their prices, I think it is not worth it, I would never go back.
