Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was not very pleasant due to the noise disturbances during the night, making it hard to sleep. The rooms were not as clean as expected and did not match the website pictures. However, since it was just for one night, I managed to get through it.
The hotel is conveniently located near Brussels Midi station, with several restaurants and a metro station just a couple of minutes away. The rooms are basic but new and quite comfortable, featuring a warm atmosphere. While the location is the strong point of this hotel, some surrounding areas may seem less appealing.
My stay at the hotel was quite disappointing due to the dirty rooms, broken shower, and overall lack of cleanliness. On the positive side, the location is reasonable for a short stay, although the parking is a major issue.
I found the hotel to have some great qualities but also a few drawbacks. The location is its most significant advantage, being close to public transport and within walking distance to the city center. The rooms were fantastic, clean, and comfortable, but unfortunately, mine seemed to have a lingering smell like cigarettes despite being a non-smoking room. The service, particularly housekeeping, was excellent. However, the location was a bit concerning after dark. The dining experience was pleasant at the adjoining restaurant, and the facilities were satisfactory.
Despite the hotel's advantageous location near the train and bus stations, my stay was marred by small, poorly soundproofed rooms with damp and dirty quilts. The service was lacking in housekeeping quality. The dining experience, though convenient in a nearby restaurant, was nothing extraordinary. The value for money was decent, given the fair price and convenient location.
I was truly disappointed with the rooms; they were horrible and definitely not as advertised. It took a lot of argument with the receptionist to secure a room change, which was a relief as it was the worse room we have ever seen. On the bright side, the location was very convenient, just a 7-minute walk to Midi station, making it perfect for our needs, although the rooms did not live up to expectations.
The hotel was more spacious than most in Europe, with a large bathroom and a double bed, which was all I really needed. However, the room was not worth the price and it was a bit cold at night. The size was a plus, but the pricing was a downside.
The hotel has a perfect location near Midi station, offering good free WiFi, hot water, and a powerful hairdryer, which are essential while traveling. The rooms were okay but lacked soundproofing, and the bathrooms could be better. However, they felt cramped for space at times. Close proximity to the Midi train station was convenient, yet the immediate surroundings were not as nice. Dining options were sufficient but could improve. Overall, a decent choice with some room for enhancement.
My stay at this hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were somewhat disappointing with incomplete furnishings, blood stains on the bedroom wall, and small space, but I did find the bed comfortable. The noise from outside was bothersome, and the balcony couldn't be closed properly. However, the hotel is in a convenient location near Brussels Railway Midi Station. The dining experience was a hit or miss, varying from terrible to good depending on where I chose to eat.
The hotel offers a big room that is not far from the train station, with a comfy bed at a good price, but the lack of a proper window impacts the overall experience.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of highs and lows. The location was fantastic, just a few minutes away from the main Metro Station 'Gar de midi,' which was very convenient. However, the rooms were not soundproof and cleanliness was an issue. The staff was also quite rude, and I faced problems with card payments during my stay.
The hotel room was small and dark, and the bathroom needed some work, especially after complaining about blood and hair on the mattress pad and the bathroom light being out. However, the bed was superbly comfortable, and the ensuite shower room was great.
