Dominating the horizon of Mechelen with its 98 metres, the 15th century Sint-Romboutstoren has a funny story. In the 1600s, a drunk local thought the tower was on fire. He alarmed the whole city and the people pulled up lots and lots of buckets of water, up all 538 steps, to extinguish the flames... Until it suddenly disappeared. It was a misty day, and when the moon slipped through the haze, the people realized there never really was a fire.. They were actually trying to extinguish the moon. That is why the people of Mechelen are still called the Moon Extinguishers today! (Or Maneblussers in Dutch)

DoubleTree by Hilton Brussels City

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent service! "

Hotel Indigo Brussels - City by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent service all around. Our room was ready before check in, which was great because we had an overnight flight. Staff were super friendly. The room was spacious and clean. Breakfast was really good. The hotel was only a few steps away from the train station and most attractions were a short walk away."

Hotel Le Plaza Brussels

10/10 Excellent

"This is the second time I have stayed at Hotel Le Plaza in 2025, February 2025 and October 2025. I have also stayed for varying periods over the last 3 years. Two of my previous referrals stayed with me in October 2025. I know I will be greeted at the front door, helped with my bags, followed by an efficient check-in at Reception, and a room will be ready. I was delighted to receive VIP treatment on arrival. On checkout, one of your reception staff helped me with my suitcase as workmen on Floor 6 had closed off the main lifts. As a thank you, I gave her my ‘Mary’ dark chocolate truffle. Then your long-standing Concierge was my rock on departure. receive VIP treatment on arrival. The long-standing hotel Concierge was my rock when I departed. My first Uber failed to arrive. I called another one, and then a storm struck. He remained very calm and stayed with me until it arrived. The highlight for me on this stay was to access your magnificent bar! I had the great pleasure of having drinks and nibbles with my friends in such a beautifully decorated room and enjoy its ambience. Merci Beaucoup Hotel Le Plaza Team!"
