Reviews of Banks Antwerp
M A
The worst experience! Cheap decorated room and no Wifi! I went to ask to get wifi and I got told that nothing can be done. They changed my room but still no wifi! This is unacceptable. The location and breakfast are ok. But the rest is not good at all. Small safe not big enough for a computer, towels smelled like vinegar and the bed sheets are visibly really cheap.

We were in Tomorrowland and stayed in this hotel, for the price it’s worth it. Super friendly staff members! Thanks to the asian woman in reception, he allowed us to check in a bit earlier. In general, highly recommend it, the rooms, service are on top!

Amazing location. Cool hotel. Room was very small and noisy outside early in the morning which woke me up when I’d have loved a sleep in. Staff are friendly. But would stay again!

Beware, beware, beware, don't go. It's not a hotel. This place is very disgusting. Except for the reception staff, they are nice and work kindly. 1. It was a very disastrous week for me. The first day I found someone smoking drugs in the room. The smell was disgusting. I went to reception and told them to change my room. They said there were no free rooms. It's like a university campus, not a hote...

The hotel is conveniently located in the heart of Antwerp and close to an underground parking lot. The rooms have everything you need and are clean. They even serve some free snacks and drinks in the afternoon, which was a nice extra. I also forgot my e-reader in the room which they sent to the Netherlands without any hassle. Would definitely recommend.
