What guests think
At 3 Paardekens, travellers consistently praise the very central, walkable location near Mechelen’s main sights, while feedback on the simple rooms and operations is mixed, especially around heat in summer, noise at times, and the largely unattended setup.
Many describe friendly, helpful staff, but check-in is often handled via the nearby sister hotel and digital keys, which occasionally cause access or communication issues, and housekeeping can be inconsistent. Rooms are basic and sometimes small, with comfortable beds but no air conditioning; fans are provided, and some guests report street or event noise and minor maintenance flaws. Breakfast is a standard continental spread that most find decent, and on rare occasions it is served off site. Overall, expect a straightforward base with modest comforts and self-service touches.

It was clean but a few things were missing or broken. The key holder to turn the lights on fell off the wall when I checked in. It was loose my whole stay. The "curtain" in the upper window of the bathroom was missing which was just a nuisance as it let light in at night. But the next morning as I was getting ready, I looked up and made eye contact with a man working on the roof of the building across the alley while putting my makeup on. Luckily I was fully clothed, but he was able to see into my whole bathroom. Housekeeping found a curtain to put up but they're fairly transparent. Lastly there is no tea kettle or any source of hot water for your own tea or coffee. As a long-term traveler I can't afford to go out for coffee every day and it was a big negative for me. If would be nice, even in the lobby, to have hot water.

Onthaal zelden aanwezig, incheken via zuster hotel zo’’n 500m verder. Wel handige digitale toegang voor voordeur en kamerdeur. Start 2e overnachting handdoeken en bed niet opgemaakt, handdoeken gezocht in het hotel maar snachts niemand aanwezig. Spijtig géén airco op de kamer, lekker ontbijt en pal in het midden van het centrum van de stad met parking op 50meter

It was a pleasant, clean hotel. The staff were helpful. I did not have the breakfast, but if I were to go again I'd probably have it, as eating breakfast out in Mechelen is not that cheap.

Be prepared that the room is super small and does not have the air con. The room remains dirty throughout your stay because the staff only come to change towels and dispose of trash. Of course you can close your eyes to all this, If you only stay for one night sleep.

Nous avons séjourné dans cet hôtel du 30 décembre au 2 janvier et notre expérience a été très décevante. Dès notre arrivée, l’accès à l’établissement a été problématique : il n’y a pas de réception et il a été très difficile de communiquer avec l’hôtel. Malgré plusieurs relances, la clé digitale ne nous a pas été transmise à l’avance. Nous avons dû attendre devant la porte de l’hôtel, dans le sas, avant de recevoir enfin le mail permettant l’accès. Une fois dans la chambre, nous avons constaté un état d’hygiène inacceptable : poussière visible, forte humidité et de nombreuses traces de moisissures dans la salle de bain ainsi que sur les murs de la chambre. Durant les deux premiers jours de notre séjour, aucun ménage n’a été effectué. Ce n’est qu’après une plainte, le dernier jour, qu’une personne est intervenue. La chambre a été nettoyée de manière superficielle : le sol restait sale et l’état général ne permettait pas de parler de propreté. Ce séjour a été particulièrement désagréable et ne correspond absolument pas aux attentes pour un hôtel payant. Nous ne recommandons pas cet établissement.

Het was ronduit goor dat de badhanddoek ( er was er maar één omdat ik een eenpersoonskamer had) niet goed gewassen was. Er zaten 2 grote bruine vlekken in. Verder was er niemand op de receptie. Ze hadden kennelijk een app gestuurd waardoor ik met een link binnen kon komen, dat lukte aanvankelijk niet. Ik werd toen geloodst naar het zusterhotel Elisabeth waar ze me verder loodsten. Zeer onpersoonlijk, helemaal geen personeel in het gebouw, .‘s morgens om 9 uur werd er wel op de deur geklopt, ver voor de uitchecktijd omdat ze de kamer wilden schoonmaken.

It is a clean spartan hotel very close to Mechelen Cathedral and central square. The hotel is usually unattended, check in is at Hotel Elizabeth nearby. The single bed was narrow and there are no tea and coffee facilities.

Hotellet har enkel, men helt grei standard. Jeg reiste med venner og hadde enkeltrom. Badet var lite, men fungerte fint for en person. Dusjen var veldig bra. Rommet har en god seng og et lite skrivebord med stol. Frokosten har lite utvalg og jeg savnet litt grønnsaker, men ellers var det egg, eggerøre, bacon, brød, rundstykker, ulike typer juice og kaffemaskin, kornblandinger og youghurt. Kan anbefale hotellet for andre.

er werd gewerkt aan een pand aan de overkant van de smalle straat. Om 7 uur 's morgens begon het lawaai, ook op zaterdag. Alleen op zondag was het stil. Ik had het fijn gevonden als het hotel ons een kamer aan de achterkant had vergeven en ons niet aan de voorkant had geplaatst.

enjoyed a two night stay at the hotel in a good location. Plenty of bars and restaurants nearby. Check in was smooth with the friendly receptionist and very helpful. they e-mailed your room details with access to the room using your phone which worked easily. The room was very warm but fans were on hand to help cool the room down. The bed was comfortable and was able to sleep. Breakfast room is on the third floor with great views of the cathedral. std continental breakfast with plenty of choice available.

Completely disappointed with this hotel! Due to a website error, I ended up making 3 reservations because they asked me to confirm my card without knowing! I arrived at the hotel and the receptionist said that I had 3 rooms reserved! I didn't know anything about this! I always go to Mechelen alone and I always get a room! They cancelled a reservation and charged me for 2! They didn't have the good sense to cancel! I'm going to post this incident on the Tomorrowland page so that people are aware and don't suffer this loss too! Coincidentally, I spoke to a guest who told me that this happened to her too! So I can say that my stay was terrible and I don't recommend this hotel to anyone!

Kan anbefale hotellet for andre.
Hotellet har enkel, men helt grei standard. Jeg reiste med venner og hadde enkeltrom. Badet var lite, men fungerte fint for en person. Dusjen var veldig bra. Rommet har en god seng og et lite skrivebord med stol. Frokosten har lite utvalg og jeg savnet litt grønnsaker, men ellers var det egg, eggerøre, bacon, brød, rundstykker, ulike typer juice og kaffemaskin, kornblandinger og youghurt. Kan anbefale hotellet for andre.

Prima accommodatie. Gunstig gelegen in het centrum. Goede ontvangst. Helaas door personeelstekort het ontbijt moeten nuttigen op een andere locatie. Deze was echter maar 2 minuten lopen verwijderd van de 3 Paardekens. Heerlijk verblijf gehad in een mooie stad.

Upgrade gekregen naar hotel Elisabeth. Zeer aangenaam verblijf. Vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel, verzorgd ontbijt en een heerlijk zwembad met zonneterras! Voor herhaling vatbaar.

Onthaal zelden aanwezig, incheken via zuster hotel zo’’n 500m verder. Wel handige digitale toegang voor voordeur en kamerdeur. Start 2e overnachting handdoeken en bed niet opgemaakt, handdoeken gezocht in het hotel maar snachts niemand aanwezig. Spijtig géén airco op de kamer, lekker ontbijt en pal in het midden van het centrum van de stad met parking op 50meter

enjoyed a two night stay at the hotel in a good location. Plenty of bars and restaurants nearby. Check in was smooth with the friendly receptionist and very helpful. they e-mailed your room details with access to the room using your phone which worked easily. The room was very warm but fans were on hand to help cool the room down. The bed was comfortable and was able to sleep. Breakfast room is on the third floor with great views of the cathedral. std continental breakfast with plenty of choice available.

Hotel was a bit run down. Lots of stains on carpets and a broken mirror in my room. I also found that there was no iron in the room (I considered this a given in hotels today). When I contacted the front desk to ask for one there was no iron available in the whole hotel and no efforts were made to help (luckily I found a more helpful dry cleaners down the road). Given the choice in Mechelen, I will avoid this one next time.

Room was small but had everything needed. There was a festival on during my stay but didn’t hear any noise from my room. Staff on the reception desk were extremely helpful
