Let's Meet Elewijt

Very friendly staff, really nice rooms, delicious food and a peaceful setting. Loves the bees and the chickens. Bit far from Mechelen and a busy road nearby, but for the conference I was attending it was perfect - total immersion. Only negative was that they were not able to provide extra sheets and blankets(??) rather surprising. And disappointing - we had to get them ourselves from a fellow guest.

Excellent staff and a fairly nice building. For events and trainings, this is a good spot. The rooms may be a bit stuffy and the perhaps the infrastructure isn't as modern as it could be, the service is decent and the space available is actually enough. Good lunch options too! + apparently this venue doubles as a hotel? Not sure about this, though.

I was genuinely shocked by the lack of basic safety awareness at this hotel. During check-in, the front desk employee said my room number out loud – even though two other guests were standing directly behind me in line. As a woman traveling alone, I found this incredibly unsettling. I immediately told the staff member that it's not okay to say a guest’s room number out loud, and asked him not to do it again – especially when others are within earshot. This is a basic hospitality standard in most reputable hotels, and I’m surprised it’s not being followed here. Safety and discretion should be non-negotiable. I hope management takes this seriously and trains staff accordingly.
