I have just returned from an extremely poor experience at the Corinthia Antwerp Hotel. 1st - checking in at the reception took 40 minutes, there seemed to be only one person helping a queue of people. Even though other staff members could see the queue, they simply ignored it. Extremely slow, hardly what one would describe as welcoming. 2nd -The staff at the breakfast room, especially the gentleman there was highly unkind, impolite and staring at me with the utmost disgusted face. I should have reassured him that I actually had a right to breakfast, considering that I was paying for it, this was the most disturbing part of my experience, to be stared at like I was too filthy, too low to be having breakfast there. 3rd- At the bar, a waiter had taken my order, showing his annoyance that it did not include any alcohol and that I had somehow disturbed him. He failed to see that I was obviously pregnant and was quite cold and arrogant. 4th- It amazes me that for a supposedly four star hotel that you can hear other guests using their bathrooms, the isolation is a definite major issue. 5th- checking out was another experience, just paid the bill at the reception and no thank you's or good bye. The only area of attention I received was when reception was verifying the details of the bill. They seemed pretty keen on getting everything right that I was charged for. A pity that they cannot transfer some of that energy into making people feel more welcomed. The service was absolutely poor, not say that it was completely absent. I have travelled extensively, been guests at a variety of hotels and this 4 star hotel has been the worst of them all. I would not go back and would definitely not recommend it to anyone. I have received better service at 3 star hotels!!!!
