Hotel NH Mechelen
Pet-friendly and a minute from the Korenmarkt
About this hotel
Hotel NH Mechelen keeps things unfussy: a three-star pet-friendly hotel a minute from the Korenmarkt and an eight-minute walk from Saint Rumbold's Cathedral, with warm, simple rooms rather than a design statement. The on-site bar covers a quiet evening without needing to head further into the old town, and the pet-friendly policy makes it one of several genuine options for a family travelling with a dog on a Plopsaqua trip. Breakfast and parking are both available but charged separately rather than bundled, so it suits a group who'd rather pick and choose than pay for a package they might not use in full. The Korenmarkt position keeps restaurants and the walk back from an evening out both short.

Our take
Hotel NH Mechelen is a solid, unglamorous pick for a pet-friendly stay a minute from the Korenmarkt, best suited to a family who wants simple rooms and a central position without paying for bundled extras they won't use. It's less of a destination in itself than Brewery Het Anker or Martin's Patershof, but it does the basics reliably.
- ✓Confirm your dog's stay when booking even though pets are welcome as standard here.
- ✓Add breakfast in advance if you want it, since it's a separate charge rather than included.
- ✓Book a room away from the Korenmarkt-facing side if street noise on a summer evening bothers your group.

Why guests love itIt's not a hotel that tries to be memorable, and that's fine: the rooms are warm and simple, the bar downstairs is easy for a quiet evening, and being a minute from the Korenmarkt means the walk to dinner never takes long. Bringing the dog was straightforward rather than a negotiation, which mattered more to us than a design-forward lobby after a full day chasing kids around a water park.
