Reviews of Hotel Rubens-Grote Markt
none of your business
Stayed here during a work trip. Excellent hotel, near, clean, good service and located dead center of the "old Antwerp". Definitely recommend if your in Antwerp for a few days.

The hotel has a great location and nice staff. Tomas was very professional. The reason why I only gave 4 stars is the bathroom and the construction noise. The room (deluxe garden view) was spacious and clean. They answer messages right away, a big plus in customer service.

Almost perfect hotel - great location , friendly staffs, clean and big room for two. Booked for 3 nights but waking up 6 am on Monday morning, 6:30 am following two early morning. It’s different from the notice of building construction works next door. I don’t need a morning call for my holiday.

Nice hotel, pity about the construction noise immediately outside our window of our deluxe twin room facing the rear so you might want to ask for a quiet room facing the street perhaps. Oh, and I personally LOATHE the open shower arrangement. I don’t know why they do this - for the slight convenience of not having to open and close a shower enclosure you end up with a flooded bathroom floor every ...

Go to Antwerp! The city is a must. And this is the perfect hotel to stay in. Yes it’s on the back street. But it’s such a cute street. And it’s a simple walk to the great market Square. I mean it’s right there. Customer service is great, breakfast is great, and our room was absolutely adorable.
