Hotel Julien

The hotel is beautifully renovated keeping traditional character and blending it with modernity. The staff is friendly and attentive and the shared public spaces are cozy and romantic. I recommend this hotel when staying in Antwerp. It is a quiet place to stay in the center of Antwerp. It feels luxurious and I would definitely stay again.

We stayed at the hotel for a weekend in one of the Julien Experience Rooms. We like a minimalist yet good design style, so this hotel was what we prefer. The living room, the bar and a small courtyard are very nice and a place to relax. The hotel is quite small and cozy, and it is tucked away in a side street, so it feels a bit like home. The photos on the website are true to what you can expect. The service was great. We arrived early and were able to have a chacuterie at one o'clock. We were given a list of well selected places to visit. The restaurant recommendation was booked for us. We stayed late the last day and our luggage was taken care of. The breakfast was not huge, but very good, and things are prepared to order if you want. Overall, we liked the professional yet personal and friendly style in a small hotel. Our hotel room overlooked one of the small courtyards, so it was not very bright. This is good for the summer, but when it is not hot, I might look for a room with windows to the street, as the street is rather quiet. We would definitely come back.

it was a one night stay. the room was okay. bathroom small but acceptable. breakfast buffet was the bare minimum. staff were not always attentive at the reception desk which is a pity. taking into account the price of the room value for money is out of balance.

This was our 6th hotel stay in a 3 week vacation. Although all were very different the one thing they all had in common was a sense of making sure we had all the necessary tips and advice we needed to enjoy our stay. This was lacking at the Julien. It was a nice room, but the so called architect influenced room layout, (ie the toilet in a separate room) was like an trainee carpenter knocked it up over the weekend. Quirky and different for some, for me was over priced and over rated. (But definitely not a bad hotel) PS might have been nice to know they were repairing the roof above our room when we checked in.
