Please do not even think about staying at this property. The photos you see are not realistic of the situation encountered. Mold, door to the shared balcony does not close properly. Dirty, old. Was present at the property for 40 minutes because of the unsafe and unhealthy conditions. When we requested a refund it was denied.

Again, do NOT book this property!!!

Our room had a water leak outside it on arrival, but this luckily did not impact the room itself so we just had to step over the heap of towels to get into our room. The room had the feeling of last being renovated 20 years ago and no repairs being carried out since. What I mean by that is the main window had large cracks in it, panels were missing to kitchen cupboards and the fridge, and drill holes in tiles in the bathroom were visible (perhaps these holes are the reason why there appeared to be damp in the wall?). We could hear any talking going on in the corridor outside as if the people were in our room, and a group of men were talking until about 1am. Our room was also close to the security gate that locked at night and closed with a loud bang, meaning that we were frequently disturbed throughout the night. We had a terrible night's sleep as a result of the corridor discussions and the security gate.

The place was okay for it's price but, having no air-conditioning was very rough during the middle of summer. We couldn't combat the heat from opening the windows since there wasn't a bug screen so mosquitoes would enter. There was missing bed legs on one of the beds we stayed in making it wobbly and it was the same case for the sofas. Would probably recommend this place during any other seasons, just not summer.

- Ants infesting the room and bathroom. We even found some ants in a backpack after arriving home after the stay. Extremely concerning and uncomfortable.

- Room was not cleaned once over a 7 day stay. No new towels or bedding. Daily cleaning is an optional charge but a weekly clean would've been nice.

- No air conditioning. The temperature hit 35°C with no option for cooling the room down.

- Great location with walkable food and transport options

- Cheap

Stay here only if you want a bed to sleep on and a place to shower. Absolutely not recommended for couples or families.

As is often said: you get what you pay for. The place has seen better days and is more aligned for non-fussy workers needing a mid-term stay rather than being marketed by as a hotel. Very basic but functional. It didn’t feel very secure as the balcony sliding door did not lock and I was on the 1st floor. Parking was the biggest issue, you’re not guaranteed a place even though you pay a premium for it and it is filled with large wheelbase vans which make things difficult. Be prepared to get up early to move your vehicle or be blocked in when you if you need to leave early. That said, although very inconvenient, they did provide a quick refund when I was not able to park.

The room was okay although the pillows were awful.
The bathroom had no ventilation so they smelled of mold and the plumbing in the shower was good so although it drained, yhe room had the stench of mold and urine.
It was clean but you needed the doors and windows open to make it smell better and avoid allergy irritations.
I will not be coming back to this property.

A good base for visiting Mechelen. Only 10 minutes walk from the main square in town. The apartment we had was spacious for the two of us. Lift to all floors which is handy for middle agers like us. Hadn't been aware of the secure parking when booking through Expedia - but as there was space available, we paid for this facility rather than parking a car full of luggage on the street (paid parking on meter which would have needed fed every few hours). Bright and airy apartment with basic but adequate facilities - what was needed. (No AirCon which might be a thing for some). Balcony door opens wide for fresh air and breeze (but also lets in the flying biting insects which can be a pest at this time of year).
Overall we were happy with our first stay here. As we hope to return to Mechelen in the future, we will likely check availability here first next time. Thanks for making us feel welcome!

Four of us enjoyed a 3 night stay in this property. Beds comfortable and clean, living area adequate, kitchen facilities good but a light in the kitchen would improve visibility. Nice large shower but leaking hose needs to be fixed and no extraction in the bathroom not the best.

Book on site parking as soon as possible as property is on a residential street and parking is difficult outside although lots of alternative parking available around the town

Unable to get access.

Arrived 23.15. Was unaware that no checkin after 22.00. Paid 149 euro for room which normally secures a 4 star hotel so i never thought to look at the check in policy. I then had to look for another hotel. The only 1 available was 279 Euro.
What was particularly annoying was that I could not ven reach the hotel by phone.

The room is great but breakfast junk. The hotel looks like nothing from the outside; but I got a lovely, big room - very comfortable with couch.
Very nice en suite bathroom. I really liked the kitchenette, with small fridge and microwave. It's really a self-catering establishment.
I was disappointed in the breakfast. For €12 a waste of money.

The location is excellent within walking distance of the historic city of Mechelen. The building is nice and the room is comfortable, somehow lacking extras like tissue. We stayed 5 nights and had no cleaning or change of towels or bed sheets but that we knew before booking. A lot of rooms are occupied by Polish and Italian workers who work on construction projects close by so starting 5 AM everyone is shouting from the balconies to the one already in the parking lot, cars moving...very noisy!!

Smukke landlige parklignende omgivelser

Vi fik anvist et andet værelse end vi havde booket samme dag. Det var sådan set ok for os, da vi ankom sent, og bare havde en enkelt overnatning. Det blev brugt lang tid med at finde os i systemet. Spisekortet var ikke då stort, og i den lidt dyrere ende, men området er bare så smukt og landligt, lige hvad vi drømte om. Da vi skulle sove opdagede vi at det anviste værelse trods dobbelt seng var et enkelt værelse. Lidt irriterende at skulle ned i receptionen for at bede om ekstra dyne, pude og håndklæder.

Last minute nog een kamer/studio in Mechelen geboekt voor 1 nacht. Gezien de lage prijs hadden we er ons niet te veel van voorgesteld. Wie schetst onze verbazing als we terechtkwamen in een ruime studio, met modern strak meubilair, complete kitchenette en voldoende ruime badkamer met douche. Mooi wijds uitzicht vanaf het minibalkon.
