Topverblijf .... ik kom zeker terug
Pros:

Het was een topkamer, zeer vriendelijk personeel. Vooral de uitbarsting van de bar was zeer behulpzaam en heel vriendelijk. Het ontbijt was superlekker.

Cons:

Gewoon 1 minpuntje aan het ontbijt was de kaas. Die zag er niet mooi uit, wat beslegen al was de kaas vers. Misschien hier iets op vinden.

Pros:

Het ontbijt

Cons:

Zeer veel lawaai uit de gang, amper geluidsisolatie en deur kleppert iedere keer iemand ergens een deur opent.

Great repurposed old building to magnificence!
Pros:

Absolutely adored the building. It was an easy walk into the old town which we loved seeing. Brunch was quite nice.

Cons:

Our room was smaller than I anticipated, I had paid for the next level up from basic. The only thing that helped was the high ceilings. But for two adults and a dog, it felt crowded. Beautiful and comfortable.

Pros:

Das Hotel war sehr gut.
Das Essen war ausgezeichnet.

Cons:

Leider mussten wir im Restaurant fast eine Stunde warten, bis wir unser Essen erhalten haben.
Das Hotel war gut belegt, dennoch schloss die Bar am Samstag bereits um 23:30 Uhr und am Sonntag um 22:00 Uhr.
Meiner Meinung nach ist das für ein Hotel dieser Klasse nicht angemessen.
Da in Mechelen eine Messe stattfand, hätten viele Gäste abends gerne noch gemeinsam ein Glas getrunken.

Very pleasant, luxurious and well-equipped
Pros:

Very beautiful building. It is very modern, but you can feel and see the history.
Pleasant stay, good food and friendly staff.
Sure to come back

Cons:

Beds where a little to soft.
Shower may have more power.
It would have been nice if a window could be opened.
Everything else was fine, so I'm having trouble leaving enough text :)

Het was oké maar een slechte nachtrust gehad.
Pros:

Het ontbijt was verzorgd en top

Cons:

Er was veel lawaai. Er was een feestje aan de gang tot zeker 1:00. Wij kwamen voor de rust en het was onze eerste keer sinds we papa en mama zijn (4 jaar geleden) dat wij een nachtje weggingen voor wat rust te hebben. Die rust hebben wij snachts dus niet gehad jammer genoeg.

Trotz allem schönes und sauberes Hotel und sehr nettes Personal. Auch das Frühstücksbugfet war lecker.
Pros:

Das Hotel ist schön, etwas weiter außerhalb als erwartet. Durch Baustellen in unmittelbarer Umgebung nicht so angenehm.

Cons:

Die offene Dusche zum Zimmer hat mir nicht gefallen, da ich mit einer Freundin unterwegs war. Zumindest wäre es gut, dies bei Buchung zu erfahren.
