We had a great stay at Matelote! Nice atmosphere, friendly staff, great room and a perfect spot in Antwerp. Close to the old city centre, but also just a few steps from nice shopping areas as 'Kammenstraat' and 'Zuid Antwerpen'. more

Second, the room was at the top of a very small winding staircase and there was no offer... more

The 10 individually modern designed rooms score high on the design scale, clean lines in soft, muted white, grey and chocolate colours makes for relaxing rooms. The hotel's... more

We have just returned from staying at the Matelote in Antwerp, and I was moved to write immediately! I am not sure where even to start, as our stay was simply fantastic.
