What's nearby

  • Dominating the horizon of Mechelen with its 98 metres, the 15th century Sint-Romboutstoren has a funny story. In the 1600s, a drunk local thought the tower was on fire. He alarmed the whole city and the people pulled up lots and lots of buckets of water, up all 538 steps, to extinguish the flames... Until it suddenly disappeared. It was a misty day, and when the moon slipped through the haze, the people realized there never really was a fire.. They were actually trying to extinguish the moon. That is why the people of Mechelen are still called the Moon Extinguishers today! (Or Maneblussers in Dutch)

Good but not great

The hotel entrance, corridors and room are nicely decorated. Staff was welcoming and helpful. However, the room was dusty, we found cobwebs by the windows in the room and bathroom, and the top of the bathroom window was missing the curtain so we could be seen from other buildings. Also, as a suggestion, change the shower door to open inward, to allow bigger people to access it more easily.

It was a pleasant, clean hotel. The staff were helpful. I did not have the breakfast, but if I were to go again I'd probably have it, as eating breakfast out in Mechelen is not that cheap.

Business trip

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.

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.

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!

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.

Het was ronduit goor dat de badhanddoek ( er was er maar één omdat ik een eenpersoonskamer had) niet goed gewassen was. Er zaten 2 grote bruine vlekken in. Verder was er niemand op de receptie. Ze hadden kennelijk een app gestuurd waardoor ik met een link binnen kon komen, dat lukte aanvankelijk niet. Ik werd toen geloodst naar het zusterhotel Elisabeth waar ze me verder loodsten. Zeer onpersoonlijk, helemaal geen personeel in het gebouw, .‘s morgens om 9 uur werd er wel op de deur geklopt, ver voor de uitchecktijd omdat ze de kamer wilden schoonmaken.

Hotellet har enkel, men helt grei standard. Jeg reiste med venner og hadde enkeltrom. Badet var lite, men fungerte fint for en person. Dusjen var veldig bra. Rommet har en god seng og et lite skrivebord med stol. Frokosten har lite utvalg og jeg savnet litt grønnsaker, men ellers var det egg, eggerøre, bacon, brød, rundstykker, ulike typer juice og kaffemaskin, kornblandinger og youghurt. Kan anbefale hotellet for andre.
