De Witte Lelie

Very quiet street, lovely old house, very originally decorated, very friendly service.

This is a magnificent and exquisite hotel at the centre of Antwerp close to the old town. The building itself is approximately 400 years old and full of charm. Really beautiful. The staff is very professional, welcoming and helpful. As well as happy and smiling 😊 The interior decoration is amazing with beautiful rooms and open spaces. We stay at the #7 which is very spacious with lovely tapestry and other details. All done by a belgian interior decorator . Dogs are allowed ( 😀 ) and the interior garden is very nice.

What can I say this hotel is truly special! Some of the best service I've experienced. from the welcoming reception to the complementary mini bar they do all the little things right. I had a classic room that overlooked the charming courtyard. It was quite large with high ceilings for the most basic room. every room has a unique style and mine fit me perfectly. The 2 Australian sisters who run the hotel could not be more friendly. Location is just far enough off Cathedral and Grote market to be peaceful but close enough to be there in a few minutes walk. Only minor complaint breakfast is bit sparse. Hidden Gem

By far the most unique stay I’ve experienced during my trip in Europe. The hotel’s interior design is so expressive and wonderful, we fell in love!! The staff were exceptionally friendly and helped make our time at De Witte Lelie exceptional! Highly recommend!

We went to Antwerp and had our stay in “de witte Lelie”. It was my youngest sixteenth birthday. The hotel knew this and after giving us choice of one of their spectaculair rooms, that were shown to us each and every one, we picked a gorgeous room. When our room was cleanend we entered and had baloons on the bed! Cake in the morning for breakfast.. what a thoughtful and hearty staff. Our special thanks goes out to Chakra Rose Brouwn for being the host with the sparkle and unstopable perfection in all that she does with a big heart. Leaving the Hotel was more than checking out. It was the completion of an experience that we take with us in dear memories.

We just left after a three night stay in room 3, the “Presidential Suite.” This hotel purports to be a “small luxury hotel,” but most of the details that define such an establishment are simply not present. On arrival, we were greeted by a sign on the otherwise unmarked and locked front door that the doorbell was only working intermittently and giving a phone number for entry. With only one employee on duty to cover the entire hotel, this led to patrons waiting outside in the rain waiting for someone to open the door. My wife and I also got stuck in their tiny two person elevator for almost an hour until the one employee on duty could summon a repair person to free us…and then the sole elevator remained unusable for the remainder of our stay. Our suite lacked bath towels when we checked in, and the area outside of our door was filled with crates containing all of the hotel’s clean linens. I might also add that the suite’s air conditioning was bizarre, as the bedroom remained freezing cold while the sitting area was unvented and barely cool despite the freezing bedroom. The staff was friendly but this is by no means a real luxury hotel in any respect…and fails in the all important value for money category as well.
