Unique place, wonderful host

Pros: Our room was huge and incredibly stylish. The breakfast was delicious. The location is very good, with walking distance everywhere. Lydia made sure our stay was special and romantic, knowing the occasion we were there for. She took care of every detail, and above all, our well-being. We are very grateful for this romantic stay and would love to return!

A tranquil and relaxing weekend in Antwerp staying at the wonderful The Museum

Pros: Everything about the property was wonderful from the location to the friendliness of the Housekeeper. Just awesome.

Cons: If anything at all, a few too many artefacts in the room.

Unique and characterful, with a wonderful host!

Pros: Characterful property, with individual styling in every room. Will make for a memorable experience. Beautiful, peaceful garden that you can see from the breakfast room and some bedrooms. Breakfast is unmissable! I appreciated the care and attention that went into every course and it was delicious and filling :) The host Lydia was so friendly and couldn’t do enough for you.

Cons: The type of mattress was a little hot for me (I prefer wool) but this is very much a personal preference. The room and bed was comfortable otherwise.

Just the experience I was looking for

Pros: Beautiful room with antique furniture, nice and warm, and bathroom with nice bathtub. The breakfast is absolutely phenomenal and worth everything you pay for it. I wanted to stay longer. Lydia also took time in the morning to show me the living room and the garden, and talk to me about her passion of art and antiques. She is a very friendly and beautiful person, and is always available for issues or questions.

Cons: I had the unfortunate case of a couple in a room downstairs that were very loud during the night. I had to go downstairs and ask them to quiet down. So the place is not really sound proof. But there is no noise from the outside, and I was aware it was just a little bit of bad luck for me.

Luxurious overnight stay. Very good value for money. Excellent service.

Pros: Exceptional accommodation decorating with great taste and attention to detail. Warm welcome. You felt at home immediately. If you like the out of the ordinary this is your place to stay in Antwerpen. It’s very calm too. Make sure not to miss the fabulous breakfast. You can taste and feel the passion and love for the job. I already recommended this B&B to my friends in Luxembourg.
