Friendly hosts, well- situated and with first class facilities

The room was clean and well equipped and in ‘as new’ condition yet in an historic area. The trim was centrally situated in an excellent and welcoming city. The hospitality and welcome from Ann and David was first class.

Beautiful Room in great location

The owner, Ann, was extremely helpful and friendly. It is a very good location, a few mins walk from the train station and the city centre, and a convenience store just down the street. The bed was comfy, and the room was very well decorated. The check in process was very personal and helpful, with Ann giving us lots of advice about the area.

We had a Warm welcome from Ann and David, with plenty of advice how to make the most of our stay.

Great location, just 8 mins walk from rail station and around 15 minutes into the centre to see the sights - plenty of good quality cafes and restaurants en route. Super shower and comfy bed in a large room with good facilities. It was a nice touch that our hosts left some local beers and water in the fridge for us. Ann and David were also helpful with tips to make the most of our stay, both beforehand and during our stay. Recommended!

Delightful hotel with friendly hosts in a great location

A fantastic hotel in a superb part of Mechelen, just minutes from the old town and the train station. Spacious, comfortable and oozing with character, the room didn't disappoint. Beautiful bathroom and en suite, huge windows, wooden furniture and one of the most comfortable beds I've ever slept in. David gave me a warm welcome and was always available to answer questions. He kindly lent me an ironing board, which I appreciated. I highly recommend this hotel. I'll certainly be back there next time I'm in Mechelen.
