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.

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.

Nous avons séjourné dans cet hôtel du 30 décembre au 2 janvier et notre expérience a été très décevante. Dès notre arrivée, l’accès à l’établissement a été problématique : il n’y a pas de réception et il a été très difficile de communiquer avec l’hôtel. Malgré plusieurs relances, la clé digitale ne nous a pas été transmise à l’avance. Nous avons dû attendre devant la porte de l’hôtel, dans le sas, avant de recevoir enfin le mail permettant l’accès. Une fois dans la chambre, nous avons constaté un état d’hygiène inacceptable : poussière visible, forte humidité et de nombreuses traces de moisissures dans la salle de bain ainsi que sur les murs de la chambre. Durant les deux premiers jours de notre séjour, aucun ménage n’a été effectué. Ce n’est qu’après une plainte, le dernier jour, qu’une personne est intervenue. La chambre a été nettoyée de manière superficielle : le sol restait sale et l’état général ne permettait pas de parler de propreté. Ce séjour a été particulièrement désagréable et ne correspond absolument pas aux attentes pour un hôtel payant. Nous ne recommandons pas cet établissement.

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.
