    Be aware that because the age and the floor plan of the building, there are some quirks, like steep stairs, bathtub in the room, and toilet in a 'closet' behind the bed. But as long as you are ok with this, I recommend this place to everyone. 🙂

    Very friendly owners. Charming place with in an old building, in a part of town with an interesting history. Nice breakfast. Nice and clean room. Would stay here again.

    Mechelen's main station is a multi-layered mess currently - Nekerspoel is closer, at 15 minutes on foot. Some will find the stairs narrow and the rooms a bit unpredictable in regard to ducking the beams.

    If you are in the mood for it, this is a great property. Genuinely old, quiet and a bit rickety-rackety, it is hidden away in the old beguinage area, up cobbled streets, though walkable from the centre. Run by the owners' father with a great personal touch. Memorably quaint.

    A warm welcome in a lovely little house

    • Deluxe Double Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    It's an old house, so expect some steep and narrow stairs! Also be aware that the room door can only be locked from the inside. I was not concerned about my belongings as there's only one other room and it was occupied by a lovely older couple.

    Lovely little B&B in a nicely decorated 400 year-old house. Guests are welcomed by the owner's father, who is extremely sweet and makes you immediately feel welcome. An excellent breakfast is served in the common room, where guests also have access to tea and coffee making facilities during the day.

    Unforgettable stay in a nice quiet (& historic) place in wonderful Mechelen

    • Deluxe Double Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    The room suffers a bit from space constraints, -something to be expected in an attic room-, and access requires climbing some steep stairs, but on the other hand, this condition gives a bit more charm to the experience.

    Practically everything. 1. Location in the heart of a quiet nice historic quarter that is part of a World Heritage Site (flemish beguinages) not far from the cathedral and main square or the fishmarket area by the river. 2. The house keeps the authenticity and charm one expects in this kind of historic places, with a very personal decoration and details that make it cozy and interesting. 3. The breakfast was excellent. 4. Last but not least: above all the host is great, nice and helpful

    Nothing- everything was perfect!!!!

    This was one of the best B&B we have ever stayed at, it is ran by the loveliest man who was super polite and made the most delicious handmade breakfast at the time of our choice- the homemade yoghurt was our absolute favourite. When we were there, we walked up to a room that was decorated beautifully- high ceilings and a huge bath to relax in with a homely, wooden feel to it. We even came back 4 days later after a festival and he was delighted to let us in at 11am instead of 3pm, which we greatly appreciated. He even saved a bottle of lotion i had left for me from the previous day we stayed! This is a 10/10 location with lovely helpful staff. We will be back next year for definate!!

    Obs, bring wollen socks and your own shower soap. Not recommended if you can't climb some steep stairs or are scared of dogs.

    Amazing old house which feels like it's barely aged the last hundreds of years. Comfortable bed and duvet, great bathtub. Very friendly local host family and easy communication ahead of stay. Good location in the old city centre. Classic Dutch breakfast.

    The location is difficult to find, like a maze in the old area in Mechelen. I would suggest you ask for a handwritten map to get to the BnB. Also the road next to the Keerdok parking garage is under construction, so it is also difficult to travel with luggage. When it rains there is construction mud everywhere.

    It was an old house with modern remodeling and total comfort. The bedroom was room and the king size be very comfortable. The breakfast was excellent with home-made scrambled eggs with a variety of additional breakfast items. The owner was very welcoming.
