Van der Valk Hotel Park Lane Antwerpen

The pool isn’t heated, there’s no iron in the room, and the sink water only gets slightly warm when the pressure is low. The food in Ces't moi was nothing special. Service was kind and very welcoming, and the breakfast was high quality. You can order à la carte or have as much as you want from the buffet, with juices that seemed freshly squeezed. We came for my birthday weekend, and once my husband mentioned it, they made it feel pretty special. Thanks for that! Also, make sure to use the social deal app if you’re coming for dinner, breakfast or high tea.

It’s a very stylish, nicely decorated hotel that’s well maintained. The spa has a pool, a Jacuzzi and a sauna, but the pool is a bit cold and the steam room was out of order. You also have to change in the bar because the spa is accessed through it, instead of changing in your room. Still, a very good hotel.

We loved our stay and I’d definitely recommend the hotel and come back. I was hesitant because it’s a big chain and not right in the main city centre, but the price-to-experience ratio was great, and it’s not too far from nice areas. The rooms are big, newly renovated and the spa is amazing, clean and a really nice experience. I also enjoyed the art deco style and decoration. The only downside might be the room soundproofing, which doesn’t feel good enough for a four-star hotel, and the parking in the big building is a bit tricky, so you need to plan ahead.

The atmosphere was so welcoming, and the service was attentive and great. We came through Social Deal for the three-course lunch and really enjoyed it. They even added a sparkling candle to my husband’s cake. We’d happily come back.
