Can anyone recommend a charming hotel in Antwerp? I'm going there this weekend. Preferrably something under 100 euros for a double and central. Thanks.

I stayed in Hotel Prinse last June. It's equi-distant between the train station and the historic area. The building is old -- the rooms are modern. A double is about $120. -- a bit beyond your quest I know. When I was looking for charming hotels that were well located back in May -- this was the best that came up for my needs.<BR><BR>http://www.hotelprinse.be/

We stayed at the Hotel Mozart right on the main square and got a terrific room for a terrific price $80). We did not book ahead, however. We just went to the "i" office (tourist information office) and they got us the room. It was a weekend, so we got a very nice last minute weekend rate for a large charming room with all the modern conveniences. I believe it is a Best Western hotel.

Thanks so much for your replies. I ended up booking Hotel Firean. It's more than I wanted to spend too, but it was recommend in an old issue of Gourmet magazine.

Very nice & charming place indeed, but ... abt 150 Euro for a double, and not really central. Personally, I would have taken one of the two recommendations above for their excellent location. You will just have to walk a bit more or take a tram.<BR>Have a wonderful trip. If you have a chance, the Sunday morning open air market close to the Theater is quite interesting.
