Our group stayed in 3 rooms at Hotel Matelote and loved it. It was clean and the ambiance was wonderful. The breakfast was delicious and plentiful. We especially loved the fresh bread and pastries every morning. The location is fantastic. Close to the historic sites and public transit. Great restaurants nearby. But it was also very quiet. We didn’t hear city noise at all. Our interactions with Erik, the manager, were great. He was so helpful and kind and responsive. We traveled with small kids and an elderly couple and didn’t have a problem with the stairs. I would definitely stay here again.
What a charming hotel! We had a wonderful stay in the Matelote Suite - what a great room. Erik was lovely and welcoming, and the location could not be beat. We would happily stay here again!
Matelote is a charming and well-appointed family owned and operated hotel. We appreciated the location — it’s on a quieter side street but still wonderfully situated for access to restaurants, bars, and boutique shopping. Very warm welcome from the owner operator who helpfully marked up a map with our must visit spots for our brief stay. We stayed in room 10 and were blown away by the size and architectural features of the room, from the thoughtfully laid out restroom to the exposed roof beams and skylights. We would absolutely stay again when next in Antwerp.
Great little hotel in centre of Antwerp old town. Great blend of old and new and continental breakfast included. This is very handy as many restaurants and cafes not open at breakfast time. Room very clean. Big shower, TV with English channels. Kettle in room but not needed as you can get tea/ coffee during the day at no extra charge. Room decor slightly dated, could do with a refresh but didn't affect stay. Perfect location. 2-5 minutes from everywhere.
The hotel is a hidden gem off a busy area but quiet and serene. We had the junior suite which was clean, large, and overlooked the patio. Excellent staff who were professional and kind and provided information about where to eat and visit. Walking distance to central station and Viking dock.
