Location is great and you can walk to most of the downtown attractions, although we don't recommend walking from the train station (20-min walk through cobblestone streets rolling luggage). The hotel was clean and the staff was friendly. The room was quiet facing the courtyard, rather than the street. We didn't try the breakfast because there are lots of cafes around. The stair steps are very narrow and I got nervous going up/down with our suitcases. The A/C wasn't cool enough and the bed wasn't very comfortable.
We received an upexpected upgrade to our booking to a larger room on the top floor of the hotel. This meant negotiating three flights of stairs but it was worth it for the extra room. Lots of nice touches including complimentary water and a small bottle of wine in the fridge. The quirky hotel was just what we wanted and there was a free coffee machine in the reception area where soothing classical music was always playing. The owner was very friendly and explained the building's history. The Matelote is in a great position, close to Het Steen, the Grote Markt and lots of Antwerp's shops, cafes and bars.
the location is perfect, the lack of an elevator compensated by the quaintness and care that is given by the staff is offset. We will definetely stay here again.
We got upgraded to suite room. Very unique , modern, and very spacious. The rooms we had were accessed by a small spiral staircase, which is ok by us but perhaps not ideal for person with mobility issue. Receptionist and Eric were very helpful giving recommendations. Few steps away from the center of Antwerp.
Breakfast was good and unlimited coffee and tea during the day. Very recommend this hotel. Paid parking 4 min walking distance.

Fantastic location in a semi funky boutique hotel. Large comfortable room and huge bathroom. Good bed with nice linens. Friendly staff but aren’t there in the evening. You would need to call them. Very steep steps to rooms.
If you are ok with stairs then this is the place to stay in Antwerp. A quirky old building right in the heart of the city. Eric made us very welcome and gave us great advice about where to visit. The hotel is only a few minutes away from the amazing museum Plantin, which celebrates printing , the early production of books, maps and atlases, the early development of medicine and pharmacy, and as an aside it is full of Ruben's paintings. It is possibly the best museum I have ever visited, unfortunately we only had an hour but we could easily have spent much more time there .
Wonderful little hotel in a quiet street in the city, great room, nice and spacious and super cozy. You can tell they really care about your stay and if you're comfortable, only thing would change is a smoother check-in since we arrived late and there was no one there, although they did allow us to get in awesome breakfast started at eight so we didn't get to enjoy it since we had to leave early.
