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.

A little gem of a boutique hotel. With just a few rooms, it is elegantly designed and spreads a very cozy, welcoming and warm atmosphere. Lovely patio, little bar and great lounge with delicious breakfast and good rooms. Downstairs is a spa with a sauna and a steam bath.

Positives: Clean, modern and aesthetic hotel set in a beautiful building. My room was in the roof space but felt large, comfortable and spacious, with plenty of daylight. Location was within walking distance of the city centre, bars and restaurants, and a 20 minute walk to the main train station. Young female staff (sorry I didn’t catch names) were very helpful in finding a local gym for me. Negatives: I found the room did not have enough electricity plugs - I expect most modern hotels of this standard to have USB plug ports beside the bed. I could also hear the comings and goings of neighbouring hotel rooms on my floor.

Absolutely loved this hotel! It felt like an art gallery and was honestly the coolest hotel I’ve ever stayed in. The staff were incredibly kind and helpful. It’s in a great part of town close to many restaurants and shops and the breakfast buffet was absolutely delicious!

Had an amazing stay at Hotel Julien! It honestly felt like a home away from home with its cozy family vibe. Nisrine and Morgan deserve a shoutout for their top-notch service – they were attentive and just amazing. The place was spotless, which is a big win for a clean freak like me. Plus, you can't beat the location. This hotel is definitely doing things right! Can't wait to 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.

Excellent experience. Great location in the heart of Antwerp with a short walk to the square. All of the associates provided superb level of service. We had the dreamer room, nice size and it faced the back which was quiet. They have a bar that you can get drinks and relax in the inviting lobby area. We did not sign up for the breakfast but heard it was good. ||One of our meals we ate at Estro Armonico which was a unique experience and excellent food followed by cocktails across the alleyway at Tazu. ||Highly recommend Hotel Julien

The service was friendly but staff was very young. Although age is just a number, at the bar it showed the lack of experience. When our party of 7 ordered cocktails, we noticed that it was taking a long time and saw the young girl looking up the ingredients from behind the bar. After approximately 30min we received the first 3 drinks and noticed that the cocktails were not mixed in a shaker, they were also in the wrong glasses and we had no ice. We sent 1 cocktail back as it was just undrinkable. After 45min we got the other remaining drinks. When we then ordered a beer as we thought this would be quicker, she served us 1 cold one and 1 hot one?? absolutely terrible experience. We went to reception to complain politely and mentioned that she is also there all alone for the whole bar area and that she maybe needed some help, it took again 15min for someone to show up. We will not book again as we also believe the prices of the room and bar do not really match up to the quality.

Terrible management. They don't respect the clients. I have stayed in boutique hotels all over the world and it means that you have to get great and more sophisticated service. This hotel manager needs to be fired immediately since she allows herself unacceptable behavior. I also observed that they put old food from leftovers during breakfast service. This was repulsive and unsanitary. Stay away from it!

One of the most beautiful and relaxing hotels in the world. Perfect location and friendly service. The decor is a little rustic, so that may not appeal to everyone.
