Completely disappointed with this hotel! Due to a website error, I ended up making 3 reservations because they asked me to confirm my card without knowing! I arrived at the hotel and the receptionist said that I had 3 rooms reserved! I didn't know anything about this! I always go to Mechelen alone and I always get a room! They cancelled a reservation and charged me for 2! They didn't have the good sense to cancel! I'm going to post this incident on the Tomorrowland page so that people are aware and don't suffer this loss too! Coincidentally, I spoke to a guest who told me that this happened to her too! So I can say that my stay was terrible and I don't recommend this hotel to anyone!

Onthaal zelden aanwezig, incheken via zuster hotel zo’’n 500m verder. Wel handige digitale toegang voor voordeur en kamerdeur. Start 2e overnachting handdoeken en bed niet opgemaakt, handdoeken gezocht in het hotel maar snachts niemand aanwezig. Spijtig géén airco op de kamer, lekker ontbijt en pal in het midden van het centrum van de stad met parking op 50meter
Be prepared that the room is super small and does not have the air con. The room remains dirty throughout your stay because the staff only come to change towels and dispose of trash. Of course you can close your eyes to all this, If you only stay for one night sleep.
enjoyed a two night stay at the hotel in a good location. Plenty of bars and restaurants nearby. Check in was smooth with the friendly receptionist and very helpful. they e-mailed your room details with access to the room using your phone which worked easily.
The room was very warm but fans were on hand to help cool the room down. The bed was comfortable and was able to sleep. Breakfast room is on the third floor with great views of the cathedral. std continental breakfast with plenty of choice available.
We love staying here, handy to everything, exceptional! They do however have a new system with keys on the internet our key expired at 8,28 checkout isn’t until 11 so we were locked out

It was clean but a few things were missing or broken. The key holder to turn the lights on fell off the wall when I checked in. It was loose my whole stay. The "curtain" in the upper window of the bathroom was missing which was just a nuisance as it let light in at night. But the next morning as I was getting ready, I looked up and made eye contact with a man working on the roof of the building across the alley while putting my makeup on. Luckily I was fully clothed, but he was able to see into my whole bathroom. Housekeeping found a curtain to put up but they're fairly transparent. Lastly there is no tea kettle or any source of hot water for your own tea or coffee. As a long-term traveler I can't afford to go out for coffee every day and it was a big negative for me. If would be nice, even in the lobby, to have hot water.
It is a clean spartan hotel very close to Mechelen Cathedral and central square. The hotel is usually unattended, check in is at Hotel Elizabeth nearby. The single bed was narrow and there are no tea and coffee facilities.
This hotel is lovely very welcoming with a tasteful fitout great location right by the Cathedral in Mechelen it’s Centre Aldo there is a fantastic Italian restaurant next door we love it!

Nice location. Nice staff. Shame about the room.
Nice staff. Great location but shame about the housekeeping and room. Stayed 5 nights and expected my bed linen to be changed at least once during my stay but unfortunately not. Mattress just on a base and kept sliding off during the night which meant nearly falling out of bed. Large bathroom towels not always given and toiletries a little sparse.
This hotel is very convenient to restaurants, bars, cafes, open late options, easy check in @ 2pm, great breakfast offered on 3rd floor every morning, parking is easily accessible in the garage.
I've been to the hotel three times now on business and had a great stay every time.
The location is fantastic, close to the stunning medieval square and a number of times my room has had a great view of the cathedral (though you can hear the bell, so if you are super-sensitive to noise maybe this is not the hotel for you).
It's clean, well run with friendly service and the breakfast is good. The pizzeria next door (I'Artista) is very nice and there are lots of nice bars a short walk away.

the hotel is in a great location, close to everything. The only negative thing is that it doesn't have AC and they don't provided a fan, which is not good because your force to open the window and it gets really loud when people area walking outside late at night and early in the morning. Other then that it was a great hotel, really clean and the staff was nice.
