The Park hotel http://www.booking.com/Share-Bydhcp

To avoid at all costs, is Ambassador Suites!

There are options to b rent kosher apartments/studios which might be better options.

Stayed at The Plaza Hotel pre-pandemic, was cheap and clean, and they were happy to provide basic kosher breakfast for a small additional fee (I dont remember the amount but it was marginal)

There is now a Hyatt Cat 1 right near the train station and the Jewish/kosher area.

If I'm not mistaken, it belongs to a Jew.
Hotels are cheap in Antwerp, so unsure if it pays to use points.

Yup and currently you also get 20% back for summer promo and also 500 points for staying at new Hyatt property, so total cost is 3,500.

Shayes has different types of fries.

I would go to Time Out, and eat regular fries with mayonnaise.
