Hilton Antwerp Old Town
The staff were lovely throughout the stay. The room was spacious. The breakfast was delicious with high quality food and good variety. I used the gym and out 3 treadmills, two of them were not working which was frustrating. The location was perfect being able to walk everywhere. Overall we enjoyed ...
