The breakfast offered a great variety of high-quality food, it was the best I’ve had in the area; the location is fantastic right next to the Lamot center and surrounded by charming cafes, shops, and a grocery store.

Friendly staff working late shifts 👍 - Overall, it's a pleasant spot with very welcoming employees during the night.

The room was clean and pleasant and the hotel well located for visiting Mechelen and the surrounding areas

It wasn't clear what was available for breakfast on the two price tarriffs i.e. full versus continental. The process for registering and then being charged for breakfast was not clear.

It was central and easy walking distance from the town. The facilities were good, including coffe and tea making facilities and a choice of bath and shower in the room. Also, as it is a modern hotel, there is a lift, so no walking up and down stairs with luggage. Check-in and check-out were easy and no problem with the booking.

Not really a first choice for a city break/holiday as it is more for business than a hotel with a lot of character, but the other side of that is that it has the facilities. In common with many hotels, they need more or bigger pillows. I don't know why hotels are so mean with pillows and it makes a big difference to the comfort. (A word about Mechelen is that it has a lot going for it, but its attractions are a bit spolied by the roadworks and is a bit scruffy around the edges - but that's not the hotel's fault.)

We really enjoyed our spacious and soundproof room with a comfortable bed. the location of the hotel is fantastic, with the Fish Market within walking distance.

The room layout was excellent better than most I have stayed in previously

It is a very comfortable hotel, very well situated, I recommend it to every body.

The room was spacious and air-conditioned, with a comfortable bed and free Wi-Fi. the staff were attentive and knowledgeable, and the services were excellent.

Clean, well equipped room that was comfortable, quiet and in a great location.

Initial check in was poor. Less than helpful, just going through the motions after a busy day. Had to ask about timings/facilities rather than being told. Wasn't told about the free 20mins internet use in the lobby. Breakfast was very overpriced at 18euro per person.

The location was great. The room was very spacious, equipped with tee/coffee facilities. Nice bathroom with separate washing tube and shower.

The only thing I did not like was wifi Internet you had to pay for.

It was a great weekend getaway, and the stay was truly pleasant! 😊

Overnight at this hotel for the third year running, on the way to the Ijmuiden ferry. It is very central, very well equipped, comfortable rooms, an excellent buffet breakfast. At an attractively discounted rate.

Novotel's formula is fine, but a bit lacking in charm. Difficult to penetrate to this very central location by car without a map or GPS.

Clean. Close to city center.

Staff was not bad, but not friendly. There was difference between standard room and executive room.

Excellent modern accommodation with very amiable staff in the late shift. Central location, within a close distance from a recognized museum. - Set very close to centrum, and the "Grote Market" or center in the extra comfy area.

Good location and hotel was up to Novotel's normal high standards. Could never afford normal prices, but this Novotel had a great special price, so we were able to go there.

19 euros for breakfast is the most expensive breakfast I've seen.
