I had a really enjoyable stay at this hotel, which was conveniently located near Mechelen-Nekkerspoel station and just a pleasant walk to the city center. The room was comfy and clean, and the service was excellent, making me feel well taken care of. While the breakfast had some great options, I did find the eggs a bit lacking in temperature, which was a minor downside. Overall, it was a great value for money, especially being just a short train ride from Brussels.
