the ibes budget is as same quality as i expected... such as modern, clean and tidy! it's easy to access from antwerpen centraal station. one minutes walk to super market. the front stuff are very friendly and kind.
Receptionists were super nice and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable.
The location is fairly close to the central station, but you should probably take a tram when carrying heavy bags. The area is well connected with tram, bus and subway.
The late check-in seemed to be an issue with several other guests. As we saw them stuck outside the entrance not being able to obtain room keys. However, it should not matter as long as you arrive early enough.
