Michael and the CoCo-Mat supplied us with the best hotel experience we've had in 8 yrs living in Europe! We got the large room with 2 king beds, and could not be happier with it. A very short walk from the train station and situated in the heart of restaurants and shopping in the newer section of Antwerp. The zoo is a 2 minute walk away! Old-town Antwerp is a 20 min walk, through the large shopping plaza area, surrounded by beautiful architecture. Movie theater next door!
The room was huge! Two good size bedrooms with extremely comfortable beds (also sold on the ground floor, which doubles as the lobby and a bed shop), a full bathroom, and a half bath with toilet and sink were all clean/comfortable/tastefully decorated. The icing on this cake though, is the living room area, which is probably 4x the size of any hotel apartment we've stayed in. A full size couch with cable tv, lounging furniture, and a full size kitchen with oven and fridge, and a giant dining table with chairs! You literally could not ask for a better furnished room in Antwerp.
The view was outstanding with the old Opera on one side, and the main walkplatz all around below, with picturesque buildings everywhere!
The manager Michael, was extremely helpful and friendly, and really ensured our stay was perfect. He went above/beyond with excellent customer service. Thank you! We will definitely be back to the surprising city of Antwerp and definitely to the Coco-Mat!
