This hotel currently has major construction right out the front door however it did not affect our sleep. The hotel was clean and neat but had some narrow hallways and a very small elevator. The rooms were nice but the bathrooms were not spacious. The dining area for breakfast was comfortable and they had a nice selection of food items.... More

The hotel was not bad. But that is all there is to write home about. The Elevator was scary. A room facing the street is not quiet. I did not sleep well in this hotel. BUT, the staff were very helpful. It is an old hotel and quite clean. The walk to the city center is about 10 minutes, thus... More

Our room was nice and clean, with decent toiletries and adequate water pressure in the shower. The elevator wasn't working the day we checked in, so we lugged our luggage up a few floors (the hotel... More

We visited Best Western Hotel Gulden Anker, a 4**** hotel, situated between Antwerp and Brussels from November 22nd. – 24th. 2007. It is at the edge of the city centre at about 300 mtrs. from the “Gote Markt” with its cathedral. Mechelen is a nice, old, little city, which character has been partly destroyed by running up several modern buildings.... More
