The little appartment at the top of the building is absolutely ideal if you want a self-catering base for exploring Antwerp. Similar self-catering in the area is expensive, and certainly doesn't have the atmosphere generated by the guys. My wife and I had a great time. The attention to detail (Tram cards available at cost, orientation chat and marking things... More

Our third stay in our "second home" in Antwerp. We arrived at 20.30 h and were welcomed by Ian, who helped us with our luggage. After installing in our nice room we enjoyed a few drinks on the nearby square with many nice bars and restaurants. We had a good sleep in our cosy room. The next morning we were... More

Mabuhay became our second home for a month and it felt like a real home. Our hosts were welcoming and attentive throughout this period and nothing was ever too much trouble. Such genuine hosts in the tourism business are a delight to experience. They were always extremely helpful and Eric's pineapple jam is delicious! The standard in accommodation was very... More

We spent one night with our hosts and were delighted by our bedroom and the surrounding community. We are particularly interested in Art Nouveau architecture and this is ground zero for some of the best examples in the region. You can see more than a dozen splendid buildings within a 10 minute walk. Eric was particularly helpful in helping us... More

Away from the touristy parts of Antwerp, we found a little haven at Antwerp Mabuhay Lodgings. Arriving at the B&B, we were warmly welcomed and were immediately provided with plenty of information about how to go about visiting the town. With the many good tips we have enjoyed several fantastic meals, found the eccentric shops we wanted to visit and... More

The b&b is modern, clean, and very well taken care of. Hosts were very welcoming and helpful. Breakfast was superb with tasty jam and eggs! On my next stay in Antwerp I would definitely stay in Mabuhay!

Warm and welcoming spot in the non-museum like part of the city centre, where people actually live. Good natured hosts and good value fo money. Art nouveau riot street Cogels Osylei is around the corner, just as some of Antwerps finest bars and restaurants. One thing to bear in mind: Mabuhay is small and intimate, and therefore one will notice... More

We stayed here for two nights in September. Eric and Herman are fabulous hosts. Nothing was too much bother. The rooms are really nice. They gave great advice to us and the hotel is located near to a really nice part of Antwerp which has interesting and plentiful restaurants and bars. I mean really nice. I wish I could remember...

My wife and I stayed here for a long weekend and had a wonderful time. Our hosts, Eric and Herman were really helpful with maps, restaurant recommendations and even a tram travel pass. Breakfasts were a highlight, lots of fresh food and even homemade bread. Our apartment was on the top floor, so you need to be ok with stairs,... More
