The Museum - Au Lit, Jérôme!

This is a wonderfully and lovingly restored old property Excellent hosts, fantastic breakfast easy walk or tram into town and plenty of great places to eat nearby although many closed on Mondays

Gem in the Zuid This was the third time we have visited this establishment for a 3-day visit. All the rooms are extraordinary as they are full of antiques, curios and books, and unusual decorative effects. Ours had ceiling made of shells in the bathroom and an unusual tropical plant as a centerpiece. The decor, comfort and cultural details help to refresh the mind and body and the excellent and comprehensive, surprising breakfasts help to refresh the palate. The location, in the upmarket Zuid area, is very convenient for the Museum of Fine Arts and other cultural sites, bars and restaurants, and minutes away from the River Schelde and it's new riverside development, and transport links. The owners are superb and welcoming hosts.

Au Lit Jerome in Antwerpt is the most luxurious bed and breakfast I have ever stayed in, and is yours for reasonable rates. It is located on a mixed commercial/residential street, and from the outside doesn't look like anything special. But inside it is a beautifully furnished residence with museum-quality furnishings and art, and with a pleasant garden in back. The proprietor Lydia makes sure your stay is pleasant in every way. My room was full of beautiful antique items yet had all the comforts of a modern building. The bed was very comfortable and the ensuite bathroom was large and well-designed. The room has a coffee/tea maker and complimentary bottled water. The building is on a busy street but you hear almost no street noise save for an occasional passing siren. There was absolutely no inside building noise. Lydia prepares a delicious multi-course beakfast from scratch which can favorably compare to something served at a five-star resort. Lydia's husband and co-proprietor Eric is very friendly and can engage you in interesting conversations on a wide range of topics. I hightly recommend Au Lit Jerome if you are in Antwerp (Eric and Lydia advised they also have a B&B in Ghent).

We hebben enorm genoten van ons verblijf in Museum Au LitJérôme. Lydia is een bijzonder hartelijke gastvrouw en maakt van ontbijten een wel heel speciale ervaring met mooie producten van geweldige kwaliteit waarvan veel uit eigen keuken. Ondertussen kun je volop genieten van het uitzicht op de fantastische tuin. Onze kamer was top. Prachtig ingericht met een heerlijk bed en een badkamer die van alle gemakken voorzien was. Lekker baden met uitzicht op Antwerpen is ook nog mogelijk. Wij hebben ons vaste adresje in Antwerpen voorlopig gevonden! Machiel&Inge Gulpen-Wittem

Het was een unieke en fantastische ervaring om in deze B&B te verblijven. Het is echt een oase van rust in hartje Antwerpen. De gastvrouw is zeer hartelijk en warm in de omgang. De suite was zeer karaktervol. Ontbijt was fenomenaal: heerlijke eigen gerechten van de gastvrouw gemaakt met verse (streek) producten. Een kwaliteitsvol en huiselijk verblijf!

In oktober 2023 waren we met drie bevriende stellen op deze zeer bijzondere plek. Het is er geweldig. Alles. Onze mooiste gezamenlijke 'hotelervaring' ooit (en we maken dit soort stedentripjes al heel erg lang), om nooit te vergeten. Dankjewel Lydia!
