August

For a really nice hotel this was a disappointing stay. Our room was very warm and we tried to run the fan to get some air circulation. It did not work and we were told that it was just a really quiet fan, then we were told that the fan needed to be fixed, then that the temperature was set too low and just needed to be changed, and then that the whole system needed 24 hours to restart. Every person we talked to had a different answer. Our heating and cooling ended up being turned off for our entire stay. The staff were clueless and pretty rude. Besides that, the restaurant is awkwardly in the hallway so you have to walk through the tables to get to your room. It was off-putting and awkward. When we asked for local restaurant recommendations we were told they did not have any, that restaurants are not open on Wednesday nights, and that we should eat at their restaurant. There were a dozen open restaurants within walking distance. Will not be back.

Amazing place to stay, it’s located in the quieter neighbourhood of Antwerp and our experience has been phenomenal. The staff members are attentive. We had a great facial and massage therapy. The design is beautifully minimal and authentic. Definitely will be back 🤍

The dinner at August restaurant provided a wonderful dining experience. The food was expertly prepared, and the staff was friendly and accommodating. A notable feature is the extensive wine list, which offers a large selection of excellent wines, particularly white wines, which is quite exceptional. It's worth noting that hotel residency is not required to dine at the restaurant.

My wife and I stayed at Hotel August during a work trip and were particularly positively surprised, even though there have recently been some rather odd and negative reviews posted here on Tripadvisor. We had already stayed here once just after Covid and back then we were also quite satisfied.||Since we had an early meeting, we wanted something inside the Singel and close to the vibrant Zurenborg district. The hotel itself is in a quiet location. There is some passage from local residents, but it feels like a closed-off compound.||Unfortunately, The Jane is closed since the beginning of the year, but the restaurant at August itself has also a 15/20 rating on Gault & Millau, which is about the same level as some 1-star restaurants in Antwerp. We also had dinner there the evening before our stay, and it was very good.||The reception was handled by a rather young Dutch lad, but it was warm and professional, with great attention to detail. Our room was beautifully designed by top architect Vincent Van Duysen, with a high ceiling that created a sense of space and elegance. Everything was immaculate and spotless, truly in perfect condition.||The soaps and body lotion in the bathroom smelled wonderful. The brand (Maiwe) can easily be purchased in the shop just across the street from the hotel, which is convenient if you’d like to take some home.||Breakfast was very extensive and refined, with plenty of fresh and high-quality products. We did find it quite expensive, though, which is perhaps the only minor point of criticism.||In short, a wonderful place for anyone who wants to stay in Antwerp in style and complete tranquility.

Elements of the hotel are very nice; good architecture and interior design. The rest was disappointingly not as exceptional as the price might imply. The atmosphere felt aloof, not particularly welcoming; too self-consciously cool. Rooms are expensive, and they are nice but not remarkable. Everything else costs extra… and excessively so. To use the pool (oversized plunge pool) and sauna costs 85€ per hour. 165€ for two hours. To use a hotel pool is normally free of charge in decent hotels. Breakfast is extortionate (we went to a lovely cafe around the corner). The bar - the only area with atmosphere in which to enjoy the hotel you’ve paid for - was closed to all guests for a private event during our stay, which we weren’t informed of ahead of time and which significantly reduced the benefit to us of staying there. Ultimately, if one can’t fully enjoy a hotel either because the services it offers are too expensive or unavailable, it doesn’t justify a four or five star experience. Despite the nice design, I am disappointed to say that there are better hotels out there.

Terrible experience at their spa- avoid!|Booked for their signature treatment- therapist was not available when I arrived even though I had booked and confirmed twice. Treatment they gave me was nothing that I paid for- rushed, poor technique, and they left out treatments I had booked for. Rude and nonchalant when I raised the complaint. Totally amateur and sloppy experience all around..

I've stayed in a few categories of rooms here - and the smaller rooms are not worth staying in as they are cramped and noisy. However the larger rooms, especially the ones above the spa are absolutely amazing. I love the design and attention to aesthetics here. The service is friendly and the breakfast is great. The quality of the spa treatments can use some work, though.

Restful, comfortable, spacious hotel; calm, quiet, leafy location; great staff from check-in to bar and breakfast
