The place is a old warehouse that had been converted by the owner first to a working studio then to a b&b - therefore, the large size, the glass front door and the lack of bathroom door. A bit funky but not an issue for us. I think there is only one rental unit but I could be wrong. There... More

Just came back from a fantastic three nights at the Big Sleep B&B. Highly recommend this place, I will definitely come back here again. It was in a good location close to the market square. You have the whole ground floor of the building where the owner lives upstairs. It's very well kept and clean and spacious. The lounge has... More

We visited Antwerp just for one night but we had lovely stay in the Big Sleep, the place is really spacious. A little bit weird was the big glass front door but nevertheless location is really convenient because you have nice little boutiques nearby and also city center is just few minutes walk from the place. I would say that... More

Stayed here and was impressed, it's a large open apartment 5 mins from the main square and located in the best area of Antwerp. Breakfast was great and the owner who lives upstairs is very friendly and helpful. Value for money was impressive, We enjoyed it.

We hate to write such a negative review as we are aware that this might hurt business, however this time we could not stay quiet. This could have been the perfect place to stay in Antwerp as its location was perfect, right in the middle of an artsy area with tons of galleries and restaurants and a short walk from... More

My wife and I stayed at 'The Big Sleep' during a trip to Antwerp and neighboring cities and both of us were very happy with our choice. First of all the size of the 'room' needs to be stressed as it is more the space of a whole apartment. No hotel room will ever be that big. Secondly the location... More

The room I stayed was like an art studio and was incredibly spatial for a solo traveler. It was very inspiring and relaxing space. I also really enjoyed their breakfast. I wish I could stay longer. I am definitely coming back to Antwarp just so that I can stay here again!

This review is woefully, inexcusably overdue -- and for that, we are very very sorry -- but suffice it to say, the Big Sleep definitely lived up to its name! It is very spacious, clean, private, centrally located in a safe area. Els is perfectly hospitable without being intrusive, which is balancing act in and of itself. (She was not... More
