Hotel is located with other hotels so no shopping or anything to do. Room was comfortable and very clean. Airport shuttle only runs to 9:30 in the AM so if your flight is not early you are out of luck for a ride. The breakfast was really nice with a lot of choices.

I booked this place for my family for one night due to them having a shuttle. We booked the shuttle waited at the airport no one arrived. For over two hours from 9pm-11:30pm we tried to contact them and they would not answer the phone at reception. Called their call centre guest relations several times, they tried multiple times and could not get the person at the hotel to answer the phone either. After midnight we gave up and booked another hotel so more money spent. Their customer service is appalling, Wotif has tried contacting the reception and reservations since for a refund and they couldn’t even get them to answer the phone. They have emailed them which I am STILL waiting for a refund. Don’t book this hotel!!!!!!!

Value for money

Really easy if you have a morning flight out of Brussel - Zaventem Airport, (specially if your route to the airport leads through Antwerp, traffic is a disaster in the morning so better leave the evening before) this Holiday Inn Express is IMHO perfect for that, I am not sure the rate's are lower then normal in July, but what i paid (a Decent breakfast and shuttle included) is absolutely Value for money.
