I cancelled because of reading bad reviews about bed bugs and cockroaches. The property owner did not comment about the problem but ignored the cancellation and would not refund the payment they had taken. The owner did not say that the property was clean, so I can only advise people not to book this property. I booked alternative accommodation despite being charged for both.

This was our second stay at Diamonds and Pearls. It is a very special hotel, located in the old center of Antwerp. It feels like entering into a secret world when you get there. We very rarely saw any staff- only at check in and check out but did not miss it. It was like our own hideaway in Antwerp. The rooms are decorated with antiques giving the hotel a sense of elegance. This is not a hotel for people with mobility issues. The stairs are narrow and steep. This is also not a hotel for customers who want everything to be perfectly manicured. This is a hotel for people who want something unique and special.

The Diamonds and Pearls is a privately run boutique hotel with five guest rooms. It is lovingly furnished, making you feel like you're in an antique shop. The lounge and restaurant are beautifully decorated, making you feel immediately at home. The hotel's location is excellent, right in the center of Antwerp. A parking garage is easily accessible in five minutes on foot. Mr. Maarten sent us the address of the parking garage and gave us a warm welcome. The beds were comfortable, and everything was clean. When we arrived, the room was a bit chilly, but thanks to individually controlled air conditioning, we were soon nice and warm. I would particularly like to highlight the breakfast. It was wonderfully different from the usual buffets thanks to the table service, and offered everything you could wish for, lovingly prepared. We can only highly recommend this hotel.

We loved everything. The comment is not a criticism but a fact in this historic building: the hotel has no elevator. The narrow stairs in the semi-darkness could be challenging for people with disabilities.

Good location but hard to locate . No parking yet garage right around the corner to pay and park. Nice breakfast yet not included in bill . Great decor

Very steep steps and we were at the top so it was a difficult climb with suitcases. The room was furnished with antique furntiture yet the carpet also seemed antique (dirty) shag . T he blow dryer was a hose on wall and broken. The room didn't seem as clean as it could be and the air was a bit warmer than we like. Staff is non-existent until breakfast- we had to have a neighboring business help to get us . It is hard to locate.

Location could not have been better. Incredibly friendly and helpful host. Boutique hotel complementing perfectly the Antwerp experience and vibe. Loved it! The cottage we stayed in was amazing value for money, across a courtyard from main building, with 3 floors making the bedrooms (ground and top floor) and cottage completely private.

Ground floor was cold, although cottage was heated - the draft should be sealed to keep warmth in downstairs. The place is absolutely fabulous, but a few details could make it so much cosier and welcoming in the winter (heavier drapes, a blind upstairs instead of curtains to allow radiator heat to flow , more bedding and pillows..).

Location was brilliant - very central to the old town but quiet also. Plenty of room for 2 adults and 2 teenage boys. I booked the wrong date by mistake and they were very helpful and sorted everything out for us. They allowed us to store our luggage for a few hours after checkout - this was very helpful

The stairs were very narrow and steep. This was fine for our family but it wasn't clear in the advert so might be a big issue for anyone with mobility issues. The shower was a bit leaky but ok.

Jason, the host, was so friendly and helpful! Even reached out before our stay to ask if we needed anything. We had the top floor room which had a beautiful view with an awesome terrance to relax on. Very quiet back street but central location to museums, restaurants and sights. Bonus: has Air conditioning! You have to try the two restaurants in the same alley. 'T Hofke and Pelgrimhuis Antwerpen. Reservations are rec. at most places for dinner. But I would absolutely stay here again. Could totally just hang out with Jason at the hotel!

Not necessarily something I didnt like but more of a forewarning.. the toilet room in our hotel room was uhh on the smaller side and with the sink its, well, awkward. Im a thin dude and it was still a tight fit. I didnt mind but yeah just keep it in mind. Room 4. But its understandable with these old buildings. You gotta work with the space you got.

The location was great, very close to the cathedral and Grotte Markt and many restaurants. Room was nicely fitted out in old traditional,style with a nice deck.

The room was very pleasant and comfortable but ahem, a ridiculously tiny room for the toilet that barely fit an average sized woman.i don’t know how a larger person would manage. 😳 No lift, tight timber staircase a bit tricky with suitcase.

The location and the kindness of the owners was great! Just 2-3 minutes walking from the main streets, it's perfect and you have lots of restaurants and bars near the hotel. The breakfast was also great, and the decoration of the room is lovely.

The beds were not very comfortable and the room was not very very clean. Another point that was not important for us is that there is no elevator and the stairs are very narrow. On weekends you can find the street a bit noisy during the night.

Let's start with Jason. Jason is the bomb, a force in the welcoming universe, that is all. The location was incredible, the room, beautiful and comfy for real. We did not try the breakfasts there, so cannot comment there.

Personally, "now" me did not enjoy the death stairs up and down to the room. "5 years ago me" would have enjoyed them for sure. I could see how, on the weekends (our stay was during the week, not in tourist season) the location could be rather loud. We did not experience that though
