Er waren goede momenten en een paar minder goede momenten. Mechelen is een mooie stad.
Pros:

Het is fijn dat je je bagage al eerder kan laten wegzetten in de bagageopslag. Geen probleem om glutenvrij en of lactosevrij te ontbijten. De bediening bij het lekkere avondeten en de ontvangst bij het ontbijt waren heel goed. Het ontbijt is ook uitgebreid en goed.

Cons:

Iets drinken na het eten kan enkel op het zomerterras. De tweede nacht veel lawaai, ook te horen met raam dicht. Het is maar wat je wilt en wat je verwacht. Is voor iedereen anders natuurlijk.

Not to my expectation
Pros:

We had dinner at the hotel and food was fine .
Breakfast is also good bit nothing exceptional

Cons:

The mattress was too soft and I had a room in the attic .
Also having the shower in the room is not a good idea due to the smell of humidity in the room .

Pros:

De kamerinrichting vooral practice badkamer en apart toilet.

Cons:

Bij reservatie een 2 persoonsbed gevraagd en dan toch een kamer met 2 aparte bedden gekregen. Wel achteraf geregeld om de kamer om te wisselen.

I would return but not dine
Pros:

Unique

Cons:

Nothing, but the dinner was not good value.

Why ? On our bill, water €4, mustard €1, bread roll € 4 and the steak was undercooked. Give the dinner cost, these ancillaries must be available without charge.

Leuk gelegen hotel
Pros:

De ligging - het restaurant + ontbijtbuffet - de kamer

Cons:

Het kamerbreed tapijt in de gangen en de kamers. Het gaf een versleten, vuile indruk, niks fris. Werkte zelfs astmatisch tijdens ons verblijf. Vervang het dringend door een andere vloer (laminaat, tegels, …) Is onwaardig voor zo een hotel.

Es gibt komfortablere Van der Valk Hotels
Pros:

Die Lage und der Außenbereich des Hotels, den wir allerdings aufgrund des Wetters nicht nutzen konnten

Cons:

Kein kostenloses Parken möglich, wie sonst bei Hotels aus dieser Kette; die zu weichen Betten und dass aufgrund eines Defektes der einzige Lift nicht nutzbar war und wir über ein enges Treppenhaus die Koffer schleppen mussten. Eine Kompensation dafür gab es von Seiten des Hotels nicht! Dabei wäre ein kleiner Gutschein für die Hotelbar eine nette Geste gewesen.
