Hotels near Fort 5 in Edegem

Het was helaas een zeer teleurstellende ervaring. Denk niet dat we iets tegen België hebben. Integendeel in Antwerpen zijn we dit weekend uitstekend geslaagd voor bruidschoenen voor mijn as echtgenote en 's avonds hebben we heerlijk en gezellig gegeten in restaurant Zin in Edegem. Echter verleid door de 8.8 waardering had ik een suite in hotel Ter Elst gereserveerd. Op zich was het een ruime suite alleen wel wat kaal. Ik. Erwacht dan ook wat glaswerk om uit te kunnen drinken en niet wegwerp plastic bekertjes. Neem dan fraaie papieren. Vervolgens bleek de linkerkant kant van het tweepersoons bed in tweeen gebroken! Duidelijk zichtbaar en voelbaar. Bij de receptie was de eerste reactie dat het jammer was en er helaas geen oplossing voorhanden was. Uiteraard nam ik daar geen genoegen mee. Nadat de man na enig aandringen mee was gegaan kwam er toch een nieuw bed. Toen wij na dat heerlijke diner op onze kamer terug kwamen was dat geregeld. We hadden het wel zo leuk gevonden een kleine geste voor het ongemak aan te treffen. Helaas. Verder wel goed geslapen. Toen naar het horror ontbijt. Allereerst geen borden en vorken. Wij houden dan van scrambled eggs met bacon. Helaas op. Dat lag in de hete lucht oven op te warmen. Voor €20,- p.p. verwacht ik toch echt vers gebakken knapperige bacon en scrambled eggs! Die scrambled eggs hebben wij niet gezien. Vanwege het gebrek aan borden hebben mij vrouw en ik het ruim een half uur later samen met 1 bord met daarop twee half lauwe opgepiepte kant en klare omeletten met slappe opgewarmde plakjes bacon moeten doen. De jus d'Orange kwam uit een pak.en de koffie uit een thermoskan vond ik echt niet lekker. Bij de gratie gods kreeg ik een espresso. Ook het brood waren opgewarmde sneden uit de diepvries. Het was echt niet overdreven druk. Bovendien was iedereen relaxed vanwege het extra uurtje wintertijd. Bij het uitchecken werd ook niet gevraagd of we het naar onze zin hebben gehad. Wij komen daar nooit meer terug!

a very pleasant and well situated hotel. obliging staff ensured an enjoyable visit. a well appointed room that was clean, together with a bathroom that complemented. this is mmy second visit and i have no qualms about recommending it.

Friendly counter and allowed to go to my twin room 4 hours early. Very clean hotel with towels and water supplied. No kettle but I think this must Bea Belgian thing. The station is opposite but it is 20 min walk to the old town. Fine for me but some may want to be nearer. The walk there is the main shopping street. Overall I think it was great value. As a note to other guests, and I always write this, please be more considerate when talking in the corridors especially before 8am. Whisper, your voice echoes and sound meds like you’re shouting. And don’t allow to doors to slam shut!!

THE BEST HOSTEL I HAVE EVER STAYED IN . More of a hotel/temporary living space. I found myself distrcted from sightseeing to spend time in the public areas. It was amazing - the decor, the facilities, the books, the communal work table for digital nomads, the compemporary furnishings, the stylish bathrooms, super kitchen ( with named plastic boxes for ythe fridge) plants and flowers, the roof terrace, the internal gardens, the green walls, the extras ( free quality ontap teas/coffees, the towels, the ear plugs etc) , the bicycles for rent and the super efficent and helpful staff. I didin't try the restaurant but the breakfast looked good. . I am looking forward to visiting their new venue in Liege and , when it is open - Brussels

Came by the other day and it was a decent experience, although with some bizarre quirks. Booked direct for the ”Executive Family Studio with Kitchen” and the front desk agent printed out a contract with a ”Deluxe Studio.” When I inquired about the difference, another employee quickly chimed in that I ”got upgraded” and my original room had no kitchen?!? As the ”Executive Studio with Kitchen” has kitchen in the name, I inquired a second time, and the employee raised her voice saying that the room was the same?!? A 3rd employee eventually came in, after reviewing their own website, and started talking about the Penthouse suite (completely irrelevant?!?). Attempted to use the laundry room located behind the secure door using my keycard and had to answer 21 questions to the front desk agent with my room number, my full name, and the company I was representing (all with a load of dirty laundry in my arms), which was completely bizarre. At 7 am, the agent claimed that someone on my floor booked a taxi?!? (also completely irrelevant?!?) The studio itself was pretty spacious, although with some quicks. For example, the bathroom was dated, unlike the pictures on the website. More importantly, it was bizarre to have a handheld shower installed on the long side of the bathtub, vs the short side?!? ...also might have been helpful to use a curved shower curtain to make showering less claustrophobic... Water pressure was usable although the shower curtain had a strange smell... Highlights of the studio included the comfortable bed, although slightly lumpy in areas, with quality sheets and towels. The kitchen itself was modern and fully stocked, including 2 bottles of water in the kitchen. The ”welcome gift” appeared to be the 2 dishwashing tablets and manual dishwashing liquid... Booking direct, the confirmation indicated that there would be a ”welcome drink upon arrival” Perhaps the 2 bottles of water in the fridge was it?!? Other anomalies included super dark lighting at night. The lighting was insufficient in the dining area, which made it quite dark to work and read in. There was a freestanding light that helped provide additional lighting in the sleeping area. It was also odd to see that the room number listed on my in room telephone was different from the one on my door?!? The laundry room was complimentary and fantastic! There was also complimentary laundry detergent. A wash takes 2-3 hours and a dry takes 1+ hour. The signage against the wall with instructions on how to use the washing machine didn't match the actual washing machine which was confusing at best...

Fantastic hotel, central and easy access... the only one but we could not use the wellness space because it was full booked, they could give priority to the hotel guests, for the rest, all right

My stay in this modern hotel was good. The check in was smooth. As the rooms are equipped with a system of electronic cards, it can be a bit complicated if your card isn’t activated (that was my case). The lift doesn’t move if your card isn’t activated. The room was standard, with a modern shower. Consider that the room isn’t cleaned every day. In my case, a 2-night stay, the room was cleaned at all. The releasing of “preserving the environment” is a bit too easy. The hotel saves a lot of money, but the price remains the same :-( Breakfast was good, either a variety of continental food.

Got a corner room on 1+ floor. It was beautiful. Breakfast was all anyone could dream of. Bring a sleep mask to avoid light in the morning. Everything was clean. The bad was good, not too hard. I loved the high ceiling. The pictures will convince you.

A lovely hotel and right where you need to be if visiting Antwerp, it's ideally located near bars, restaurants, shopping and near the diamond quarter. Nice clean room with a large bed, no tea or coffee facilities but you can go upstairs to the sixth floor and use the machines (if working). The only issue I had was I needed to use the hairdryer and after about 2 minutes use it stopped working, that is the only problem I had. Would definitely use this hotel again, it's the perfect place. And before I forget I did ask a member of staff how to get to the brewery and someone else gave me directions, thank you very much am sorry I didn't get your name but it's appreciated

Warm welcome. Nice clean & modern reception / rooms / bar. Bedrooms adequate size, clean, crisp white linen on comfortable beds. Smallish, but brand new shower room. Good quality 'pod system' coffee machine. Nice quality free toiletries. Not a lot of space for sitting / chilling and the bar shut at 8, but not a major issue as places to eat and drink til midnight within 50 yards, yet still quiet.. Three stars and better than the ( rubbish ) four star we left in Brussels. Would recommend this hotel
