Advantages: Well situated , comfortable and great breakfast
Disadvantages: Very steep stairs and no lift!

...Having visited Amsterdam several times we chose the Agora by it's locality - being on the Singel Canal and close by the Spui and Flowermarket. We were happily not disappointed in our choice. We stayed for 3-nights , and, having arrived on an early am flight we were able to check into our room at 1030 am. Reception was in English, friendly, efficient and secure, we had booked a double room with ensuite facilities (we did not pay extra for canal view) We were situated on the 2nd floor the stairs were very steep, and there is no lift (if you did have mobility difficulties this might cause a problem) but we soon became used to them, although did not sprint up them like the hotel owner did!

The heart of the city is the Cathedral and the Grand Place. From there on, everything is close at hand. - shopping: fashion, Belgian chocolats, fine food, gifts, antique, it's all close to each other. - people: tourist always say that people in Antwerp ar so fashionable, well... I think most of the times that's true. - nightlife: you can trust me, you better sleep well before you come to Antwerp... Belgium is the country with the most bars per square mile, Antwerp is the city in Belgium with the most bars in one street. Apart from... Read review
