Maison Nationale City Flats & Suites

I absolutely loved my stay at Maison Nationale. It was the perfect spot to spend a couple of days in Antwerp and I felt like I had my own stylish, clean, well appointed flat - in a beautifully restored building - right in the middle of incredible shops, restaurants & design stores. I took the train from Amsterdam to Antwerp's incredible train station (a wonder in itself), found it easy to navigate the subway (ask someone & they'll point you in the right direction) & walked 6 mins to the Maison...doable even with my overpacked luggage! From there, it's a 2 minute stroll to shops like Mecca, I mean Dries Van Noten, or 10 mins to City Hall & it's gorgeous square, the river & the Cathedral of our Lady. Walk 10-15 mins through a pretty neighborhood in the other direction & you'll find the Royal Museum of Fine Arts, great food and more. There's also a market across the street, & I loved being able to grab a green smoothie, fruit, etc. The bed was super comfortable with lovely linens and proprietors Tom & Karen were beyond wonderful. Tom met me the day I arrived, gave me great tips and confidence as a solo traveller that I had landed in the right spot. A+++

A warm welcome from Tom and Karen, who shared the hotel's history. Very stylish and comfortable. Nice amenities.

Perfect Stay and Great Location! I stayed at the Penthouse suite and was a wonderful experience. The hosts were very kind and accommodating. Location is great and I was able to walk to stores. Very clean and comfortable stay.

We stayed three very happy nights at Masion Nationale for a city visit to Antwerp. The location is perfect, with the city center and cathedral a quick walk in one direction and the trendy Zuid neighborhood a quick walk in the other direction. All the main museums are walking distance, but there's a tram stop right downwstairs if you want to give your feet a rest. Our room was big and comfortable, with plenty of space for a rollaway bed for our daughter. There's a reasonably priced parking right across the street if you come by car. The first morning we went to the cafe next door they use for breakfast. It was ok, but the next mornings we ate in our a room (they provide plates and cutlery along with the fridge, microwave and coffee machine) with stuff bought at a supermarket across the street and some very good local bakeries. The couple that run the place are friendly, helpful and accomodating. They are not always there but you can come and go at all hours with an entry code. There is an elevator in case you have luggage. We were really happy with the place. The only quibble I could think of is that they could have more electrical plugs. That's really all I can think of. Just a note: Superior suites are on the backside and Deluxe on the street. We had a deluxe. There's really not much of a view and while there is some traffic, it wasn't enough to prevent a very good night's sleep.
