A decent hotel right by the train station. It didn't bother me while I was there but the trains run…read moredirectly behind the hotel as does a bus line. My room was facing that side and the windows are tinted so you didn't need to keep the blinds closed the entire time. If your room was on the first floor facing the other side you had a shared balcony area as well. Comfortable stay rooms but there wasn't air conditioning. I had a fan which helped at night to keep it cool and the window did pop open. It was too bad during my stay as it was only hot for a few hours during the day and I wasn't in the room. There was free coffee and biscottis in the lobby area as well as a small seating area. There's also a casino next door but i didn't visit it. The Japanese restaurant next door was convenient and you got a 10% discount on your meal.

A small group of us had the pleasure of staying here for a couple nights. The owners are great…read morepeople, very friendly and accommodating, the breakfast was very good, well above your typical continental buffet most B&Bs have. We were lucky enough to get one of the new rooms on the top floor (they have an elevator if needed) and it was beautiful. There are no windows, just two skylights, so the view isn't great. They do open though and I got on a chair a couple times to look out and enjoy the fresh air without having to go downstairs and outside. It is on a semi main road, so there is some traffic noise and you have to remember not to just walk out the front door and step into traffic as the sidewalks are not raised. There is parking next to the building though and it is secured. It is a very short distance to the center of town with great shops, restaurants, etc. I would most definitely stay here again if we go back to the area.

Have stayed at this gorgeous boutique hotel multiple times as I had a client in Mechelen. The…read morestaff is always so kind and nice. After my first couple of stays, they realized I was a regular and would leave me nice notes on Mechelen post cards. This hotel is clean and gorgeous. You will find peeves of art tucked away. Each time I stay, I discover something new! The first few times I had a basic room that was brilliant but later I started getting upgrades to more unique rooms. One room was a suite with a double sided fireplace. The beds were always comfortable and I enjoyed the modern aesthetic. The hotel restaurant is amazing. I have enjoyed many dinners here dining on the regional specialty, Michelin Chicken, but my favorite part of every dinner was their accompanying salad with cheese croquettes! However, I must say that while I would take the opportunity to dine elsewhere for dinner, I would never miss a breakfast there. Breakfast at the Mercure is epic! A buffet style with standard European fare: breads, meat and cheeses, fresh fruit, yogurt, muesli, smoked salmon and lox. However, they have a woman that would cook eggs to order and she was amazing! She would do omelets or however you wanted your eggs with sausage or bacon. Also included was a gorgeous coffee bar where you could make a latte, cappuccino, espresso or whatever coffee concoction you desire. Located in a nice area- a small river in front- across the bridge is a supermarket and there are nice restaurants and chocolate shops around. A short walk to the city square and several historical sites. Prices were standard and fare. I never felt gouged and enjoyed the simple elegance of the entire experience. I hope to make it back someday!

The room I had was ok but the toilet was more or less in the open area of the room. This would have been a bit problematic if rooming with anyone. The staff were helpful and efficient. There was normal housekeeping in effect. The breakfast room was large and well supplied with all the normal items plus an omelet chef on standby for orders. The neighborhood was central with plenty of shops, restaurants, parking, and groceries nearby.

Check in was not until 3p and after I told the receptionist I had just flown in from the USA, she immediately arranged for the room to be prepared and within 30 minutes I was in bed. What an awesome, cozy hotel room located in the center of the city. I stayed in the Dream suite, but each is different with varied themes. The owner (Nadja) arrived late afternoon and served a homemade Gin & Tonic from the hotel bar (also quite cozy). The most amazing G&T ever made with specialty local Gin and tonic water and a story to cap off the experience. She offers G&T mixology classes there as well. Not sure if Hotel Bliss is five star rated with Trip Advisor, but the service and experience is a 10 in my book! Worth a trip to Holland and the city of Breda for the "Bliss"!
