For decades this hotel has the best breakfast you can wish for, where you can boil your eggs to your likings, and the bread is always fresh and crispy. Real orange or apple juice and top quality tea and coffee. After a good night sleep on the comfortable beds that are provided in the spacious rooms. We had the family room, and enjoyed the huge space. Checking in can be a challenge if you have booked through Hotels.com, as the messages from the Hotel Management will. ot always reach you. The reception here closes early and you will need a code to open the hotel door. Thsi code is sent to you by Email, but filtered by Hotels.com. Knowing this, you can call the hotel on your day of arrival before 19.00 hrs and ask them for the code of the day.

Charged me twice and refused to refund

I booked a room last minute for a business trip (booking made at 9pm night before). The booking was duplicated in error (I clicked on booking twice as I thought it hadn’t been received) and I was charged twice. I arrived late and there was no one on reception so I explained the error in the morning but the owner refused to refund me for the extra room which he knows I didn’t use. He said that the room could have been sold to someone else even though I booked on the night before! I will not use this hotel again

Stop over near Mechelen.

We enjoyed our overnight stop at this hotel. The hotel was easy to find, and has a large car parking area. The grounds are well kept, with trees in every direction.
Check in was quick, and we received a good welcome.
We stayed in room 12.
The room is large, with windows on two sides. So it is quite bright inside.
The bed was firm and comfy.
What struck us was the exceptional cleanliness.
Breakfast was fine. Help yourself buffet.
We were more than happy with what was provided.
The hotel is a good vase for visiting the surrounding area.
We would stay again, and would recommend the hotel.

A very disappointing choice.

After reading all the wonderful reviews I was very much looking for my stay. Could of not been more disappointed. As a frequent business traveller I consider this my worst choice. The first night I was eaten by bed bugs leaving me with more then 20 bites. No need to mention a sleepless night.
The next day I was moved to another room which was ok , but the damage was already done so I could not sleep again.
I was excited to try the restaurant as well after the reviews, but had nothing but an average pub food. The Bistro across the road was better by miles.

No-frills accommodation

Nice building, average location. Continental breakfast is included. Breakfast area is nice. Ample parking. Fresh fruit in room. As they were quite busy this time around, I got the only room left, which was a suite. A bit larger than the average with a King size bed and a sofa that has traveled straight from the late 80s/early 90s. Rooms are clean but outdated. I have stayed here quite a few times since 2011. However, the service is just OK. The owner needs to smile a bit more. We all have average days, but it's been this way since my first visit. Not sure it is rudeness, but it may come through as such, even when speaking the same language. However, one of his employees (longer brown hair) is quite nice. Good to have someone like that to level out the playing field. A big downfall of the entire experience: if you are looking for a plug whilst using an adapter, good luck. The only possibility was to use the bathroom plug. Internet has been sketchy as well, sometimes dropping off. Happened a few times since my first visit. Being the only hotel in town bodes well for it. However, two newer places were recommended in a 3-mile radius, so we will see what comes of that. Courtesy is definitely THE differentiator in this industry as it helps level things out. Lack of it here translates into its drawback.

A room...

This is the only hotel in Rijmenam, and it makes it convenient to get picked up by a colleague in town. Due to a busy period, I ended up booking the only other room available, which was a suite / king size bed. Compared to the regular room, you get a sofa that seems to have traveled from the late 80s/early 90s. The rooms could undergo a good refurbishment. They look a bit old. With the suite, you also get some additional treats. I realized I had not. So, I inquired about this upon checking out when I remembered. A nice lady checking us out (long brown hair) made this right. However, the owner could use a smile. We all have some off days, but not once in the half dozen times I have been there since 2011 have I seen him smile. Somewhat of a turn off. Otherwise, internet has been spotty. And, if you are looking for more than one plug, good luck. Everything is so tight that if you have an adapter, you will be hard pressed. Breakfast is continental. However, no water. That was a miss. I might be back out of convenience for my colleague. But when you think that for the same price, I could have had a junior suite in the center of Brussels at a Hilton, it becomes a downer, or use one of the newer hotels that opened in the area.

Quiet hotel by pine forests

Stayed at the hotel for three nights. The renowned hotel restaurant was closed for those nights, but there were excellent French and Japanese restaurants nearby. Room and bathroom were clean and well kept: white slippers and white dressing gown were provided. Breakfast on the 2nd and 3rd morning was excellent with fresh fruit, a range of breads, cheeses and meats. I was surprised to be discouraged from taking my half drunk bottle of breakfast water back to the room by reception staff. Cleaning staff were very friendly and maintained the rooms well.

Hotel in a very residential area

Been there a few times. Nice place to stay, but quite some ways from the city. Not a whole lot to do. Restaurant onsite is good. Rooms are large, but weird to see towels double as carpets. Fresh fruit left by housekeeping us a nice touch. However owner/manager could be a bit more welcoming. That's the only reason why it got three stars. Also asked for room confirmation a few times, and gave up after my third call. Overall, nice place, but every time, there seems to be one more issue to add... However, if you want to keep quiet and just relax in a small and quaint village, this is a good 4****.

Ringe hotel og service

Dårlig oplevelse. Hotellet var ok. Morgenmaden var ringe! Der stod morgenmaden var klar kl 08:00, men det stod først klar lidt i 09:00. Området var røv sygt. Vi kunne nærmest ikke få noget mad, da alt var lukket, selv på en fredag og lørdag aften. Vi havde først booket et familieværelse og skrev til dem at vi havde hund med, da der stod det var okay. De skriver så til os at hunden ikke må være på et familieværelse. De kunne ikke give os pengene tilbage… så vi skulle betale mere fordi vi så skulle have 2 værelser i stueetagen, da man godt må have hund der. Dette stod ingen steder. Så vi blev opkrævet for mere. Personalet er ikke smilende eller hjælpsomme. Derudover var det ubemannet mange gange om dagen. Ikke en anbefaling her fra!

Verzorgd hotel met duidelijke coronamaatregelen

Vriendelijke ontvangst en duidelijke uitleg omtrent coronamaatregelen. Ruime en mooie kamer.
Wel gelegen aan zeer drukke baan.
Onze kamer had een probleem met de afvoer van het bad : stank wanneer je water liet lopen. Niet echt aangenaam.
Rumoerige buren en door de dunne verbindingsdeur leek het of ze in onze kamer stonden.
Ontbijt heeft ons ook niet kunnen bekoren. Door corona werd dit in een luik geplaatst dat uitgaf op de kleerkast. Was besteld om 8.30 uur maar om 7 uur al lawaai van het luik. Thermoskan voor thee.. water was om 8.30 uur al koud. Ook qua beleg zeer lastig. Alles zodanig verpakt in plastiek dat je dit maar amper open kreeg aangezien wij geen schaar bijhadden.
Hier kan aan gewerkt worden uiteraard, want deze corona toestanden zijn voor iedereen onbekend gegeven.

Reasonably OK

The hotel is located on a main road outside village Bonheiden, but ~ 15 minutes drive from Mechelen.
It is listed as 4 star, but I would rank it more like 3 star or 3 star superior.
The mail receptionist may not be the most welcoming, but provided enough service.
The rooms are quiet large and clean, the beds comfy. Bathroom clean with separate toilet. Free WIFI fast. The location is fairly quiet, but still on a main road.
There is a restaurant and terrace, although on the Tuesday of arrival the restaurant opened only in the evening.
Breakfast was fine, but again to me more 3 star (superior).
The hotel is better priced than most accommodation closer to Mechelen. Although satisfactory, I found it a bit disappointing.
