Must stay! Such a beautiful and historical hotel. Clean and comfortable rooms with high ceilings. Gorgeous grounds, with seating by the water outside. We stayed here while visiting for Tomorrowland and it worked out perfectly. Would definitely stay again and highly recommend! Parking can get confusing with the construction and stuff so make sure to park in the large parking garage and walk over the bridge next to McDonald’s to the main entrance of the hotel.

Lovely hotel on the edge of Mechelen. Shame about the building work opposite which has been going on over a year and looks like it will not be finished anytime soon. Parking is in the nearby multi-storey. Walking distance from town, many places to eat.

Very haphazard room layout. Sprawling building and room numbering makes little sense. Not properly explained at check in, and despite asking for an easy to get to room I had to take two lifts and steps with a heavy case. When I asked for help with my case in checkout I was told ‘we don’t have a bell service’. A technician kindly helped me.

I am a frequent visitor. I like the hotel, breakfast and dinner are ok/nice, beds are good. I had a quiet room inside the hotel with a pool view, that was nice. What they really need to fix is the shower; there is almost no strong jet of water in the shower, really annoying. For the rest it is a good place to stay.

DO NOT STAY AT THIS HOTEL

It says nothing on the website to warn guests the hotel is currently in the middle of a building site. We were woken every morning by heavy machinery outside our room. No safe walk into town for anyone with mobility issues. Despite warning of a food allergy, the kitchens ignored this, wiping out 24 hours of our stay. The management remained indifferent to these concerns. Terrible customer service.
