    Nothing! Wish I could have stayed longer.

    Such a comfy bed, great shower, I felt very at home and looked after at the same time! David was super helpful and accommodating. It was an easy and enjoyable walk into town and very convenient for the train station.

    The room was very comfortable, clean, cozy and near of everything. The owners were also really hospitable and wanting to know if everything was perfect. Impeccable treatment and receiving. I’ve definitely recommend Nova Zembla again if I you visit MECHELEN.

    No fault of the hosts: - Street sign is not very readable, just ask the friendly locals - If you are still asleep at 10 in the morning you might hear the very loud voice of the person in the office below being on a phone call: better than an alarm clock :D

    Lovely host gave valuable tips, great taste (just look at the pictures), spacious elegant room and bathtub, complimentary local beer and mineral water, high quality tea and coffee, fridge, tv, practical location near train station, supermarket and city gate, easy for walk into town

    The room was beautiful. The location is perfect for getting around easily, but most of all the hosts are very exceptional people and we enjoyed getting to know them.

    Great location, just 8 mins walk from rail station and around 15 minutes into the centre to see the sights - plenty of good quality cafes and restaurants en route. Super shower and comfy bed in a large room with good facilities. It was a nice touch that our hosts left some local beers and water in the fridge for us. Ann and David were also helpful with tips to make the most of our stay, both beforehand and during our stay. Recommended!

    Everything was perfect.

    A fantastic hotel in a superb part of Mechelen, just minutes from the old town and the train station. Spacious, comfortable and oozing with character, the room didn't disappoint. Beautiful bathroom and en suite, huge windows, wooden furniture and one of the most comfortable beds I've ever slept in. David gave me a warm welcome and was always available to answer questions. He kindly lent me an ironing board, which I appreciated. I highly recommend this hotel. I'll certainly be back there next time I'm in Mechelen.

    There was no closet to hang my clothes. The one in the room was an old closet, just for decorative purposes. At least, I couldn't manage to open it.

    David was very nice and made me feel very welcome. Coffee water and a couple of beers were available for free. The room was very big and had been renovated recently.

    The property is a short walk from the train station and a short walk from many points of interest.

    A great option for visiting Mechelen.

    • Family Room with Bathroom
    • Stayed 3 nights

    It would have been nice to have a stand-up shower, as the shower is in the bath. Somewhere to hang towels in the bathroom, and bedside tables for the double bed would also be useful. That is all!

    The location of this room is perfect- we wanted to be near to the train station (a 5 min walk) but also near to the town (10 min walk). The owners offered us their own private garage to park in which was fantastic- we parked the car on arrival and didn't need to use it at all until we left to come home. The room was massive, it could easily accommodate the three of us, and having tea/coffee making facilities as well as a fridge was really useful. The owners were in contact before and throughout our stay, which made check-in and out very smooth.
