Ibis Budget Antwerp is a practical choice if you're looking for a convenient place to stay. The biggest advantage is its location—it's situated just outside the train station, making it extremely easy to access and ideal for travelers arriving by rail.
As expected from an Ibis Budget property, the rooms are quite small and offer only the basics. There are no extra frills, just simple accommodation for a night's sleep.
The biggest drawback during our stay was the lack of air conditioning, which can make the rooms uncomfortable during the summer months. The beds also felt rather small and may not be ideal for families traveling with children, although this could have been specific to the room type we were assigned.
A nice convenience is the Lidl supermarket located in the basement of the building, making it easy to pick up groceries, snacks, or other essentials.
The highlight of our stay was the hotel's luggage storage service. They stored our luggage for three days while we visited Paris for a very reasonable fee, which made our trip much easier and added great value to our stay.
Overall, it's a good budget option with an excellent location and useful services, especially for travelers who prioritize convenience over comfort.
