Nova Zembla offers urban suites-lodging in the heart of Mechelen. The charming interior makes from your stay a delightful stay or holiday. It’s walking distance from the market square and very close the shopping streets and all the tourist attractions that Mechelen has to offer. The great thing is that it's only 7 minutes walk to the central tation, that brings you in 11 minutes to Brussels Airport and 20 minutes to be in the centre of Antwerp or Brussels. Each room is located on the first floor with its own bathroom and toilet. Luxurious box-spring of 1,80m will guarantee a comfy night and good sleep. Every room is equipped with a Nespresso machine and water-boiler. A small fridge is available in the room. The 'Zembla' room has a large and expandable sofa bed which is perfect for your children and makes it a great family room
We had the privilege to travel the world and have always been hosted in a great way. Now, we wish to make our home yours to discover small but worthwhile visiting Mechelen.
Pleasant neighborhood in the centre of Mechelen, walking distance from 'Grand Place' Mechelen, main shopping streets and tourist attractions. Very close to central station (only 7mins walk).
