Hotel-Restaurant De Oude Brouwerij
A former brewery turned relaxed inn
Sobre este hotel
Hotel-Restaurant De Oude Brouwerij occupies a former brewery building two minutes' walk from Mechelen's Hoofdstraat and a minute from De Paardestal, with a breakfast buffet available for a charge rather than included, worth checking against the free-breakfast list elsewhere on this site. The restaurant on site and the building's own history give it more character than a standard hotel conversion, and the kid-friendly, smoke-free property carries a strong 9 rating across 649 reviews. Free Wi-Fi and free parking are both included, and Mechelen's Hoofdstraat puts a proper village centre within a short walk rather than a drive. Mechelen itself stays quiet outside the Hoofdstraat stretch, so the short walk into the centre covers most of what a family would need during an evening out.

A nossa opinião
This suits a family who wants genuine building character, a former brewery rather than a purpose-built hotel, and doesn't mind paying separately for breakfast. The village-centre walk to Hoofdstraat is a real plus. Families wanting breakfast bundled into the rate should compare directly against the free-breakfast stays elsewhere on this list before booking.
- ✓Budget separately for breakfast here, since it's charged rather than included, unlike several nearby free-breakfast properties.
- ✓Walk into Mechelen's Hoofdstraat at least once for the village centre, a genuine two-minute stroll from the hotel.
- ✓Book the on-site restaurant for the brewery atmosphere itself, part of what sets this property apart from a standard hotel.

Porque os viajantes adoramThe building itself was half the appeal, an actual former brewery rather than a generic hotel shell, and the restaurant leaned into that character rather than ignoring it. We paid for breakfast separately, which was a small surprise against the free-breakfast places we'd looked at before booking, but the walk into Mechelen's Hoofdstraat made up for it with an easy evening stroll each night.
