This 3* hotel Matelote is situated at 100m from the main square of Antwerp. This is really one of the most centrally located hotels in town. Most of the hotelrooms are overlooking the courtyard of the hotel, as hotel Matelote is located in a small street. We stayed 1 night in this hotel without having breakfast.
Rooms:
We booked the smallest and cheapest roomtype for 90eur excl taxes. The matrasses are of a good quality and so where the pillows (2 p.p.). The room was not that small as we expected. It was clean and overlooking the courtyard. There is a free small safe in the wardrobe and enough space to put your luggage.
Bathroom:
The bathroom is small with a walk in shower with a strong water pressure. The sink was directly next to the toilet, so not that spacious when you know the toilet was in the corner. But all facilities are there: 2 big-/2medium-/2handtowels Individual bottels of Liquid soap/ shampoo & body lotion of a good quality. A small But strong hairdryer (I assume not strong enough for women with long hair).
Positive:
• Great location
• Modern hotel with all facilities needed for a 3* hotel
Negative:
• Check-out at 11 am, need to pay 10eur xtra for check out at noon
• Bathroom had no windows which caused a lot of humidity on the walls (you could really see the dots on the walls)
General:
I would rate this 3* hotel Matelote 7,5/10 for it's great location and good quality of the beds. But check-out at 11 am is really early for a hotel -definitely for people like us who book a room to be able to go out and sleep long the next day. So I was disappointed a check-out at noon was charged with a supplement.
