Cuddled up against the ancient church walls, these cottages are a blast from the past with a modern minimalist interior overhaul. We had the unit at the far end of the passage way and no city sounds could penetrate this beacon of tranquility. The large bathtub even fit the both of us (and we're no small people haha) Sheets were fresh and clean, rooms were all nice and warm (We stayed there in January on a chilly winter night).
Not much to add. The staircase is an adventure and could use a rubber strip on each step. The floor beam above the stairs could do with a strip of dense foam (banged my head the second time I went up). The table should rotate to have a nicer breakfast experience (face to face instead of the current side by side). And the reception office has a strong smell of ash tray and smoke while the rest of the facility is perfectly smoke free (yay!).

Very little.
Waiting over an hour for the key code. Why not email or text the code? I had issues reaching them on the phone. Fortunately someone staying in an adjacent room had an alternate phone number.
Stairs are extremely steep with very shallow steps and a shaky hand rail. Bathroom is downstairs while the bedroom is on 2nd floor.
Watch your head if you're taller than 5' 8". Bed is located underneath a sloped roof. Beams are in the way.

Our unit was inside a private courtyard which is excellent for relaxing after a long day walking the city.
The place was very clean, well appointed and comfortable.
Note: the staircase is quite steep, which could be a problem for some.

Very spacious, light and comfortable. Quite unique location behind the church and close to the centre. The staff is very friendly and even let us in before the check-in time. Nice independent entrance. The apartment is beautiful.
The neighbourhood seems to be close to student area so it was quite noisy on the street in the evening.

These are individual properties with their own front door. No reception area so you can come and go as you please. Very private courtyard in the part where I stayed.
Ahhhh the stairs! a 17th Century conversion means the stairs are a real liability especially if you wear boots. I recommend going down halfway, turning round and then descending backwards down the rest!
The only running water is upstairs.

Great location, comfortable bed and lovely to see the old architecture of the church throughout the property. We didn’t have any issues with the stairs, felt like a typical Dutch house.
There is no water downstairs which means you need to go up and down to fill the teapot or fill a glass of water. Also, as others stated, there is no door to the bathroom, so this really is a property for those very comfortable with each other. The property is also close to the street which a lot of people use to walk to and from town, so if you are sensitive to noise at night, bring earplugs for a better night sleep.

Perfect location, fantastic staff, great breakfast, we had a lovely stay and definitely would go back again.
The stairs were so steep, they scared us a bit, but apart from that it was all brilliant

The room was the size of an apartment and on two floors, which was very cozy. Beautiful building and nice decorations. The breaktfast was brought to our room, which was an amazing luxury. Lovely breakfast also. The location couldn't be better. Quiet neighbourhood, but still just around the corner from the center with restaurants and vivid nightlife!
For those sensitive to fragrances and household chemicals, the stay might be a bit of a challenge. The towels smelled very strongly of detergent and there is a lot of perfumes in the apartment and reception. We had to keep the windows open when we were in the room to avoid respiratory and nasal irriations.

Cosy little house in a secured location bang in the city centre and close to everything.
Clean and beautiful
I would’ve liked to have information about check out and where to leave the keys etc.
A second pair of keys would’ve been handy. When one of us was still out at work or dinner, the other one had to get out of bed and open the gate and front door.
A bottle of water per guest would be recommended.

The room is very beautiful, special and clean and the location is great. Central, but not noisy. We could leave our bags after check-out, which made our Sunday in Antwerp much more comfortable.
After mentioning at checkout that the bath could not be used (although you pay more for having one) due to a defect and not being able to take a warm shower in the morning (mid January) due to another defect, we got asked to pay the full price (without a proper excuse, really). That felt awkward and not very customer-friendly, especially considering the price of the room.

The history, easy check-in and the court yard.
More of a limitation than not liking: room on the small side. Clever use of space.

Breakfast was very good! The lady was very friendly. We could keep our luggage for the departure day.
Room was very nice, two compartments. The staircase is not for elderly people.

the rooms (I would also say the “houses”) are pretty, lovely, cosy, well designed. The accommodation is very very authentic and original. It is well located in the center, but it is also quiet. I would love it more if it was a little cleaner. And I would also change the cosmetics to be upper level
Cathedral was under huge constructions (May 2021) but it is not disadvantage of the guesthouse
