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.

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.

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.

Lovely hotel in a great location.
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.

good location
I found the noise in the hotel quite bad both within the hotel and noise from outside. The sound proofing is almost non existent so dont stay here if you want a good nights sleep. The room itself was very small, but comfortable enough. Also there was no hot water on the last morning which wasnt acceptable.

A good value central option
A well-modernised central venue, just a few yards from main square, but tucked down side street. In-house restaurant looked buzzy, but didn't try. good long breakfast hours! Charming staff.

Nice place for a short biz trip
Very good town centre location, close to restaurants and bars. Friendly and helpful staff. Nice Italian restaurant at the hotel as a dinner option. The buffet breakfast needs significant improvement with some fresh and hot food options. Heating in my room was a bit of a problem. Bath toiletries could also have been better. Overall a very positive experience at the hotel. Will stay again.

Great location and price
Excellently located right next to the cathedral (gentle 8am wakeup call not optional but I'm a light sleeper and I only heard it as I was up). Room basic but good for 1 or two nights.
