What guests think

Maek Hotel Antwerp Central - Handwritten Collection by Accor earns praise for friendly, helpful staff and good breakfasts, with many guests finding clean, comfortable rooms, appealing design, and a convenient location near the central station and a pleasant park.

However, several guests mention street noise and limited soundproofing, as well as issues with air conditioning or room temperature. Facilities and maintenance concerns come up intermittently, such as a lift out of service, a closed or under-equipped gym, and occasional in-room faults. Cleanliness ranges from immaculate to occasionally subpar, and a few guests reported overbooking or unhelpful responses. Overall, it suits travellers seeking a handy base and willing to accept some operational hiccups.

I like the Mercure Antwerp City Centre hotel and this was my second time this year to visit. It's in a central location close to the train station and one can enjoy a lovely park across the street from the hotel. The breakfast is always good and the bar is nice. But I have one complaint: my room came this time with inadequate lighting. See photo of the only light for the bedroom space other than the pinpoint bed lighting. While this light is ok for the table beside it, it certainly does not help illuminate the room. As a result my room was gloomy, which is no help in winter.

Le gros problème l’insonorisation inexistante pour les chambres avec vu sur le parc. De 23h a 3h du matin, impossible de dormir. Beaucoup de bruit venant de la rue (musique venant d’un établissement non loin de l’hôtel, le bruit des piétons…). Dernier point négatif, les produits d’hygiène ( gel douche, savon pour main, lotion pour le corps …) non pas été renouvelé avant notre arrivée. Résultat, nous avons manqué de produit pour le séjour. Heureusement, nous avons passé qu’une nuit. Aussi, rien à signaler l’accueil top 👍 avec personnel parlant français. L’état général de l’hôtel top 👍…

Overboeking, er werd pas in de avond een bed bijgeplaatst op de kamer. Niet genoeg handdoeken op de kamer. Gaan bijvragen, douchematjes meegekregen ipv handdoeken. Tijdens ontbijt twee keer mijn boekingsmail moeten laten zien ivm betaling ontbijt. Dit was reeds betaald. Maar ze vonden de info niet direct terug. Onprofessionele, jeugdige medewerkers voor zo een hotel. Geen propere accommodatie. Ontbijt en ontbijtruimte waren wel goed. Geen relaxed verblijf door het hele overboeking gegeven en niet bekwame medewerkers.
