Very neat ensuite double bedroom in Seefhoek, antwerp

I have lived in this dorm for about 2 years. Overall, I was quite satisfied with my stay. If I were asked whether I would want to live here again, I would say yes, although there are definitely some negative points. Here is a description of what my experience was like: Soundproofing & noise. The rooms are soundproof. If you close the window, you don't hear any noise from the street. That said, you may hear noises from your neighbours since those tend to come through the walls. I was in a room facing the Waaslandtunnel. From October 2025 to around December 2025, I was in the uncomfortable position of hearing a constant low-pitched sound that infiltrated my room. I was at a loss as to where it came from, and I was quite baffled when the landlord and other responsible persons didn't care about fixing it or even trying to ascertain where it came from. During this time, I had to wear noise-cancelling headphones every night to be able to fall asleep. Sleeping without them would have been impossible. Slow maintenance. A recurring theme is that when a problem arises, it takes at least 3 months before the responsible persons start to fix it, even though they have been apprised of the problem early on. This happened with a broken window, fungi in someone's kitchen locker, broken tiles on the terrace adjacent to the kitchen, and malfunctioning induction hobs. Kitchen amenities and cleanliness. The kitchen is well-equipped with microwaves and ovens. Although the ones that work are perfectly fine, some are broken and have remained so for quite a long time. The kitchens are looked after with great care by cleaning women who come every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. It is not uncommon to find the kitchen in a mess when you cook on Tuesday, Thursday and at the weekend, because many students don't bother to clean up. Laundry facilities. Each floor is equipped with a washing machine and a dryer. The washing machine works and is very spacious. As far as I am concerned, the dryer has never really worked well (at least on the second floor), and I have therefore not used it during my 2-year stay. I have contacted the people responsible for the dryer multiple times, but they still haven't fixed it. Location. The building is situated in a prime location. It is close to both college (AP) and university (UA), as well as to some supermarkets (Aldi, Lidl, Albert Heijn). It's within a 10-minute walk from the city centre. Fire alarm. The fire alarm goes off very often. It is almost always a false alarm, so not really something to worry about, yet it is very frustrating when the alarm goes off in the middle of the night (which happened multiple times). Wifi. The wifi is generally very stable. There was a month or so when it didn't work, but then you've still got the option to use the network of the other floor or the hotel wifi. Elevator. The elevator has functioned for some time, but not continuously. I don't recommend taking it since it is very slow and doesn't seem to be very reliable. Social life. There are generally many people you could talk to (since there are 72 people living on each floor). However, you should keep in mind that it can feel very anonymous at times because of this large number of students per floor. Silverfish. I have also heard almost every student complaining about silverfish. They are small animals that you might encounter in your bathroom, but they can also be found in other humid places or in dark corners of the room. Although there are not many of them, it is troublesome to get rid of them each time and it is not uncommon to find them in your room multiple times a week. Value for money. The rent is relatively high compared to other dorms. Given that the rooms are generally high-quality this price is justified, but on the other hand you would expect everything to function (dryer, microwaves, oven, etc.) which is currently not the case. That's why I would say it's a bit overpriced, but still okay.

Tbh it's very high quality. There are cleaners that clean the kitchen several times a week and the room is spacious enough for one person. Elevator is very slow but it's okay. There is 1 industrial washing machines and 1 industrial dryer on each floor. Washing cost 3,50€ per wash and dryer is 2€ per use. Dryer on the 2nd floor doesn't always produce the dryest result. Each floor has an indoor and outdoor kitchen/dining area of which there are 6 2x stoves per kitchen. Hotplate and induction. Maybe 6 fridges per kitchen but each kitchen is shared with 72 bedrooms. So far, coincidentally never had problems. Some students each alone in their rooms Each bedroom also comes equipped with their own mini fridge, toilet + shower. You need to get your own single mattress. Every bedframe is a single mattress size only. WiFi is 300Mbps but each floor has a different network There is also a bicycle room shared with a car parking for a connected hotel in the - 1 and - 2 floors.

I'm extremely dissatisfied with this place. The kitchens are incredibly dirty and are constantly left filthy by other students. Finally, when I wanted to leave, the owner ignored me and spoke negatively. The person in charge of everything always took three or four days to respond and lied multiple times about the cancellation process. I was also told that I wouldn't get my deposit back for the year until a year later? Excuse me, I'm leaving and I won't get my money back for the entire year until a year later? This can't be right.

Campus Eilandje has nice student rooms within the student neighborhood, within walking distance of the AP University of Applied Sciences, the University, and shops. The MAS is also very close by, with nice places to eat and drink.
