the inside... After the good looking lobby there is a maze of old, worn corridors with cracked steps, the place is in desperate need for a restoration job. More

I was trying to find a reasonably priced business hotel in the center of Brussels. I found this place and when entering the hotel, you think everything is fine. But as soon as you get out of the lobby, the misery comes out. The hotel is WORSE I have ever been. HUGE place with long worn-out corridors and rooms are... More

Unless you get an absolutely amazing deal on the Bedford, I would avoid this questionable property altogether. The location happens to be fabulous and the lobby itself isn't half bad, but after this brief favourable first impression, it all goes drastically downhill. Every part of this hotel is in desperate need of a makeover: my room was not only stained... More

Location : The hotel is on Rue du Midi, very close to the old historical part of the city. It's a five minute walk to the Grand Place & Grote Markt, and Mannekin Pis. Also, it's a ten to twelve minute walk to the Brussels Centrale Station. There are several nice cafes, bars, and kiosk stores within walking distance so... More

I was not expecting luxury after going here for work but this hotel lack some very basic facilities and should not call itself a four star hotel - it simply isn't. It has useful things like wifi in rooms (very slow), a bar and restaurant and business centre but the in-room facilities are very poor. Even the most basic hotels... More

The Bedford Hotel is a well located hotel in Brussels. It has all the necessary amenities inside and around it. The best part is that it takes about five minutes to reach Grand Place and from there everything else is within walking distance. The room I got was ok for the few days I stayed in Brussels. I hardly spent... More

Being so conveniently located to the centre of Brussels with the majority of tourist attractions within very easy walking distance the hotel is very busy. However, despite the high throughput of guest traffic the hotel manages to maintain a very respectable standard. The rooms are comfortable, warm, well serviced and very clean, as are the public areas. The staff appear... More

The bedford is advertised as a 4 star hotel Well maybe 30 years ago and its a shame as what was once nice is now hanging on but needs urgent updating for the cost! This is the fawlty towers of brussels but the agent hotels.com contributes to this. My first room had furniture that resembled a car boot sale including... More

The hotel is in real need for a total renovation as it is worn out. The location is excellent, a short walk to Grand Place and about 2 min walk to the Metro. The hotel staff was friendly and the breakfast was a good hearty continental breakfast. I stayed there for 4 nights on a businesstrip in Brussels. More

Firstly great location for the centre and transport links (All 3 main stations and Metro). Ok this is not 4 star but the staff were great, could leave our bags on the day of check and the room was cleaned each day. The breakfast was good with lots of choice. Yes some rooms may need a lick of paint but... More
