“The Brewery”
Very interesting and charming hotel — a great experience sleeping in a brewery. The rooms were clean and stylish ,the staff was friendly and professional, and the garden was a lovely place to enjoy their beer. The restaurant also served excellent food.

“Absolutely loved it”
Great location - 10 min walk to Groote Markt and a cathedral. Very comfortable beds, warm bathroom, AC that works. Very helpful staff, from cleaning ladies, breakfast staff and a reception. Breakfast is really good for a big bloke like myself, but my more demanding partner, who is vegetarian, found plenty of dishes.

“Lovely stay in Mechelen”
All was good. The room was fantastic, and staying in a brewery has its benefits. Not least the brasserie, which was a great place for a drink.

“Perfect for beer lovers and travellers by car”
We loved the fact that the hotel is part of a brewery - it's Belgium after all. It's very close to the centre of Mechelen but very conveniently located for people who come by car - you would not need to drive through Mechelen's narrow streets. The room was huge and warm. The decor was fantastic.

Quiet area, I dont know much about Mechelen but it felt like it was a quiet area just outside the town centre. Im happy to have stayed at The Ancker Brewery and to have visited the Merch-shop.

“A hotel in a brewery - what's not to like?”
The novelty of staying in a working brewery is great. Since our last visit the rooms have been upgraded and the shop re-sited. The restaurant serves Michelin recommended dishes and the food was excellent as always. The all you can eat breakfast is a winner, choose from cold cuts and cheeses, fresh fruit, yoghurts. rolls, bread and jam or freshly made bacon and scrambled egg with tea, coffee or fruit juice (07:00-09:30 or 08:00-10:30 weekends).
