Nobody likes to run for the last train
Since the journey across the English Channel is a bit more complicated than a ride on the Central Line, we do recommend that you stay longer than one evening. The last Eurostar leaves relatively early and it would be a shame to have you leave straight after the ceremony to catch the last train. As such, we've compiled a list of some convenient places to stay. We've tried to incorporate all budgets and tried keep cost and convenience proportionate. If nothing here suits you, feel free to conduct your own research. However, do contact Ben before booking anything to find out if your lodgings are in a decent neighbourhood, and if travelling to and from the wedding venue would be doable.
Please consider coupling your trip to our wedding with a weekend visit to the rest of Belgium, particularly Antwerp. We (well just Ben actually) would love for you to discover one of Europe's hidden gems. Be sure to reach out to us (again, just Ben to be honest) for some tips that you could only get from a local.
After you have made your choice please let us know so we can start planning transportation for everyone. For more information on the arranged transportation please see this page.
De Ceder Bed and Breakfast
Located in Kruibeke. Very close to the castle where we are getting married, so those staying here will not have to make it to the central pick-up rendez-vous.
Burchtstraat 4
9150 Kruibeke (Belgium)
Hotel Scheldezicht
Quaint hotel with reasonable prices, especially when opting for large rooms that accommodate larger parties. Located in one of Ben's favourite areas of the city.
Sint Jansvliet 10-12
2000 Antwerp
Suite and B
BnB recently opened by a Michelin starred restaurant a mere 2-minute walk from the castle. This is a very high-end venue but extremely convenient.
Koningin Astridplein 11-13
9150 Bazel
Boomerang Hostel
Cheapest Hostel in Antwerp (according to booking.com) located in a fairly nice area with decent reviews. Other hostels are available.
