Good Hotel

Hotel had very friendly and helpful staff. The location is excellent with immediate access to attractions such as the Grand Palace. Room was clean and had windows that opened to let the breeze through. The only small complaint I have is that it was very hot in the area that breakfast was served in. Overall, this is a fine hotel to stay in.

Its easy to stroll through Brussels and find something to do. There are many cafes to eat (and sample various Belgian beers) at and a plethora of historical sites to take in.

This place is nice..if this was 1970 !!

If you advertise using nice pictures, then your rooms should reflect the advertisement (Room #429). The beds are Hard, the internet signal is nearly non-existent, the refrigerator (also 1970's) was about to fall apart, OF COURSE there is NO air conditioning. Check-in was easy enough, the desk clerk didn't give me an internet code, called the desk, you had to physically go back down there to get one, for the little signal there was, it booted you off continually. there's nothing wrong with a low-cost no-frills hotel, but you should not advertise you are anything more than that.

ummm..ok

we stayed at 3 hotels while in brussels and traveling back and forth and this was probably the worst hotel. The bell hop and one of the guys at the front desk were very friendly and helpful, but when we checked in the woman at the counter was very rude and inconvenienced by us checking in. The room was old and the carpet needs replacing, the bed was not that bad, the wifi didn't work well at all and kept kicking us off, and the location is good. The worst part of this whole hotel was that there wasn't any air-conditioning and the room was hot. the temperature outside was in the 60s but with the windows wide open all night the place was still very hot. if I would have know this I would have not stayed here. I', just glad we only stayed here the last night and caught an early flight in the morning so we really didn't have to stick around too long.

Good location- NOT for business tarvel

Good location if you want to be in the heart of Brussels. Not close to airport at all despite their advertisements as such. Staff looks at you like you are stupid if you ask them directions, they will give you a completely inaccurate map though. Rooms are typical, nothing fancy. Free internet in the lobby, NO in room internet.

Make a right out the hotel door and there is a sandwich and salad place two blocks away on right hand side -(just on rue de midi). Tasty and affordable, great environment.
