Peaceful stay

Perfectly located on a street with no cars, so it was quiet and peaceful. The suite had a skylight so we could see the stars. Felt more like family than a guest there.

We ended up with a really spacious suite. Great staff and well located in the center of town, down a small alley (with restaurants etc down it.. a nice alley) and super walkable and close to public transport. Had a great time, just wish we could have stayed longer. There are only stairs in the building (no elevator) due to the historic nature of the building. and the stairs are steep and narrow in this area of the world, with a slight curvature to the base of the stairs in this building, so just be mindful if you have big clunky suitcases. Would totally stay again.

Quiet, central hotel

The hotel was very central and quiet and the staff very helpful and friendly. The breakfast was fresh but limited choice. The room was spacious with a comfortable bed but the decor needed refreshing, quite a few scratches on paintwork and the towels a little thin and scratchy.

Location is great and you can walk to most of the downtown attractions, although we don't recommend walking from the train station (20-min walk through cobblestone streets rolling luggage). The hotel was clean and the staff was friendly. The room was quiet facing the courtyard, rather than the street. We didn't try the breakfast because there are lots of cafes around. The stair steps are very narrow and I got nervous going up/down with our suitcases. The A/C wasn't cool enough and the bed wasn't very comfortable.

Great quirky hotel with friendly staff

We received an upexpected upgrade to our booking to a larger room on the top floor of the hotel. This meant negotiating three flights of stairs but it was worth it for the extra room. Lots of nice touches including complimentary water and a small bottle of wine in the fridge. The quirky hotel was just what we wanted and there was a free coffee machine in the reception area where soothing classical music was always playing. The owner was very friendly and explained the building's history. The Matelote is in a great position, close to Het Steen, the Grote Markt and lots of Antwerp's shops, cafes and bars.

We got upgraded to suite room. Very unique , modern, and very spacious. The rooms we had were accessed by a small spiral staircase, which is ok by us but perhaps not ideal for person with mobility issue. Receptionist and Eric were very helpful giving recommendations. Few steps away from the center of Antwerp. Breakfast was good and unlimited coffee and tea during the day. Very recommend this hotel. Paid parking 4 min walking distance.
