Boutique Hotel Maison Emile

Absolutely lovely place. Old traditional townhouse perfectly renovated. Feeling like home in comfortable, cosy rooms, great beds/mattresses, nice bathrooms. Great abundant and delicious breakfast. Self service well furnished bar. Too bad that there is no fitness room.. and parking (5’ walk away).

Great three night stay at Maison Émile. Love the hotel design and amenities. Staff were very friendly and gave good restaurant and café recommendations. The hotel is well-located in a nice area. Would definitely recommend and stay here again.

A fantastic home base for our trip to Antwerp. We loved all the recommendations and felt incredibly welcomed as we explored the city. The team’s suggestions added to our experience, making our stay enjoyable and memorable. We couldn't have asked for a better experience.

Modern, super clean with everything you could want in the room. Owner, Yanick was efficient and friendly. Couldn’t improve upon this hotel. Easy walk to some lovely eateries and the antique area.. about 20 mins walk to the old town which is stunning.

The positives of this place are that it’s a fine old building within an an easy and pleasant walk of the newly reopened Antwerp art gallery and the city centre. There ‘s a good choice of restaurants in the area. Our room was fresh and comfortable and the aircon was a key plus - if you left the windows open there would be traffic noise. However there were two negatives: (1) The Tripadvisor description of the hotel says it features ‘paid private parking on site’. This is not true and needs to be corrected. The hotel in fact recommended reserving a spot at a nearby garage, QPark, which involved pre-paying €20 per night for the two nights we were staying. However what the hotel should have explained to us, but didn’t, is that there’s a second more obvious paid-parking garage in the same immediate vicinity (APCOA). I wrongly assumed it must be the right place, left the car there for two nights, and on leaving discovered it was a different garage. So I had to pay €50 for this garage, meaning our parking bill for two nights was a very steep €90. The failure to anticipate this potential problem is poor management by the hotel. I explained what had happened on check-out. Other hotels would have offered an apology and a goodwill discount from the bill, but not this one. (2) The design of our hotel room followed the ******* modern architectural trend of no door between the bathroom and bedroom. Who on earth wants that? For this reason, even if the parking hadn’t been an issue, we wouldn’t return. We’d be genuinely interested, as I’m sure would be potential visitors to the hotel, in its justification of this bizarre design feature.
