B&B HOTEL Mechelen
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Yes, it is worth booking if you want the cheapest of our Mechelen picks, a short walk from the station and the centre, with friendly staff. If breakfast in comfort matters, note that guests find the dining area small and crowded.

Travellers arriving by train are a good match. Guests say the station and the city centre are a short walk away, and the price was the lowest of our three Mechelen picks.
Families can consider it, as the property lists family rooms. Light packers on a short city break will find the basics covered: free Wi-Fi, air conditioning and a 24-hour front desk.
Skip it if you want hotel extras. No restaurant, gym or spa appears in the data. If you plan to linger over breakfast, the crowded dining area may annoy you.
Location and getting around
The address is 2 Leopoldstraat. Guests describe it as a short walk to the centre and the train station, and the location score is 8.8.
The Basilica of Our Lady of Hanswijk is about 0.6 km away, roughly 8 minutes on foot. St. Rumbold's Cathedral is about 1 km, around 13 minutes.
The Brussels–Scheldt Maritime Canal, at about 8.4 km, is far, so you will need public transport or a taxi. These times are straight-line estimates and have not been verified.
What guests say
Staff are a clear plus. Guests describe a friendly, helpful team and a warm welcome.
Location is the other recurring compliment, with the centre and the station both within walking distance.
Breakfast draws mixed comments. The buffet selection is called extensive, but the dining area is small and often overcrowded. Going early, or eating in town, are both options.
Price and how it compares with our other Mechelen picks
The reference price seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026, for 2 adults in one room, was €98.63 per night. That is about 26% below the sample median of €133.48. It is not a live quote, so check today's price for your dates.
Our Best Value pick, Holiday Inn Express Mechelen City Centre by IHG, was €138.73 a night with three stars and an 8.5. Our Luxury pick, Hotel Vé, was €126.08 with four stars and an 8.7.
The score gap to the Best Value pick is a single tenth of a point, while the price gap was about €40 a night. For many travellers that makes this the sensible choice, as long as you do not need extras.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 6 eligible hotels in Mechelen. After setting aside the upscale choice, this one had the lowest eligible reference price, which made it our Budget pick.
It shared third place on review score, and the 8.4 rests on 2,635 reviews, so the rating is well supported.
