Advantages: Nice bright conference room Disadvantages: Desperately in need of refurb and NEW reception staff
The Ramada in Antwerp is based in a rather striking mirrored building but delivers rather less than the sparkling exterior would suggest. I've stayed there several times and always come away thinking that just a little more effort could make this into a pretty nice hotel but I can't imagine that happening, mostly due to the rather dour attitude of the staff.
==Customer Service? What's that?==
On my most recent visit, I arrived by taxi from Brussels ... ...I quite like about the Ramada - they are clever lamps with glass bases that contain two bulbs to give either soft light through the base of the lamp, or brighter light above.
Wi-Fi is available and works more or less. It dropped in and out of service but no worse than average and at 10 Euros per day, it's certainly not the most I've been charged. I do always feel a bit ripped off by hotel Wi-Fi charges but I didn't feel this was beyond reasonable. ...
