Hotel berhampiran Koninklijke Volkstuinen Edegem, Edegem

I had a very negative experience with the front desk staff that checked me in this past week. My husband and I booked a stay at this hotel back in April for 4 nights. They sent me an email stating that they weren't able to charge my credit card on the reservation, which made sense because we had forgotten we had just received a new card to replace the expired one. They asked that I look at my account, so they can charge a new card. If I failed to do that in 24 hours, then my booking would be cancelled. Approx 13 hours of receiving that email, I went in and updated the credit card information on the account and sent them an email confirming I did so. When I arrived at this hotel to check in a month later (which was this past week), the front desk staff told me that the reservation was cancelled. I showed them the email that they sent me and the one I had sent to them. I also showed them my original reservation number. They looked into it for a while, but they told me that ultimately the reservation was cancelled so they can't do anything. They were also all booked up on one of the four nights we were supposed to stay there, so they could only check us in for 2 nights (Thurs-Fri). Up to this point, I was confused but I wasn't upset. I understand things can happen, and I was eager to work this out. However, what really pushed me over the edge was the fact that the front desk staff showed no empathy for the situation I was in. I told them that I never received any email that my reservation was cancelled. I even asked if there were any other alternative hotels, as we were traveling from outside the country and did not know the area well. The staff person I was talking to responded with very little attempt at professionalism, and instead told me that we should solve this ”later” as I was holding up the line. I believe her words were along the lines of, ”you should turn around, look at the line.” When I asked her when ”later” would be, she let out a small laugh which was a very confusing response to what I thought was a valid question. This is when I was starting to feel incredulous. I wanted her assistance, but I got rudeness and condescension in return. I tried my best not to raise my voice even though I was getting frustrated, and I told her that I felt I was getting penalized for something that wasn't my fault. Still, there was no attempt to help me with the situation, and I felt like I was being waved away. At the very end of our interaction, the staff person told me that if there is a room that opens up on Sat they would contact me to let me know. I asked how they would contact me on updates (would it be through the hotel phone? My international number? Call, email, or text?) and I received a very frustrated look and a sigh in return, not a helpful response. I am still unsure why she acted this way, when I genuinely wanted to understand how I would be contacted. (And they never actually contacted me... even to tell me they were still all boo

Our second stay at this lovely hotel. This time we had 2 one night stopovers at the beginning and end of a Leger Holidays tour. The room is spacious with a nice bathroom with bathtub and shower. We love the bar/restaurant area and the selection of Belgian beers! Our only slight complaint is the breakfast servery area which is a bit small especially like us we had 3 coaches all wanting breakfast at the same time. Very hectic. However at other times I guess this may not be a problem.

Prettig verblijf gehad in het hotel. Het was schoon en netjes. Geen gebruik gemaakt van ontbijtservice. Als enig punt van kritiek was dat het gebruik van het parkeerterrein niet vooraf door de reisorganisatie was kenbaar gemaakt dat het Euro 19 per dag bedroeg. Uiteindelijk de helft betaald. Tevens was er op de kamer geen informatiebulletin over de voorzieningen in het hotel. (kluis/ontbijt/telefoon/verlichting/afstandsbediening tv/schoonmaak)

This is a really a nice four star’s standard hotel with good breakfast and excellent service from the check in front desk, just 2 minutes walking distance from Antwerp central station. This area is easier for any tourist visiting the city centre of Antwerp and even the China town is nearby. If you have to travel from there to France or Netherlands or Germany, there are a good railway connection every 1-2 hours. Really suitable for backpackers or some relaxing plan holidays

Friendly counter and allowed to go to my twin room 4 hours early. Very clean hotel with towels and water supplied. No kettle but I think this must Bea Belgian thing. The station is opposite but it is 20 min walk to the old town. Fine for me but some may want to be nearer. The walk there is the main shopping street. Overall I think it was great value. As a note to other guests, and I always write this, please be more considerate when talking in the corridors especially before 8am. Whisper, your voice echoes and sound meds like you’re shouting. And don’t allow to doors to slam shut!!

Warm welcome. Nice clean & modern reception / rooms / bar. Bedrooms adequate size, clean, crisp white linen on comfortable beds. Smallish, but brand new shower room. Good quality 'pod system' coffee machine. Nice quality free toiletries. Not a lot of space for sitting / chilling and the bar shut at 8, but not a major issue as places to eat and drink til midnight within 50 yards, yet still quiet.. Three stars and better than the ( rubbish ) four star we left in Brussels. Would recommend this hotel

Fantástico hotel, céntrico y fácil acceso… el único PERO es que el espacio wellness no lo pudimos utilizar porque estaba full reservado, podrían darle prioridad a los huéspedes del hotel, por lo demás todo bien

We had some problems getting here due to road closures but being on a motorcycle you can squeeze through small spaces! Secure underground parking was available which is always good. When we walked into this hotel we thought we had gone to the wrong place. It looked nice in the pictures but the word stunning springs to mind. Check in was very smooth and the receptionist was super helpful. Our room was on the first floor (a budget room) but it was wonderful. The room was large with a four poster bed. Lots of storage and power points, there was a separate toilet and bathroom with nice toiletries. My only criticism would be replace the toilet brush! (Yuk) The bed was a bit firmer than I usually like, but I did manage to sleep quite well. The room is air conditioned which makes it very pleasant. The hotel is very handy for the centre of Mechelen and the neighbours very friendly! We even treated ourselves to cocktails in the bar. Breakfast was good with hot and cold options and check out very efficient. We will be back!
