This is definitely not a 4* hotel. You’d have an advantage if you speak French and you’re out of luck if you only happen to talk the other native language, Flemish. I arrived Friday afternoon and had to persuade the receptionist to have my car parked in their small parking lot. On the street in front of the hotel it’s... More

Dear Lindy67_12, First of all, we would like to apology for the reaction of the receptionist it was quite uncalled-for. We thank you for bringing this serious problem to our attention because the housekeeping service did not see the bed bugs in the bed during the day. These bed bugs hide within the mattress so it is quite difficult to... More

I arrived in Brussels on Thursday morning and went to New Hotel after I have made a reservation for a double room through their website. I arrived at the hotel at 11:00 and was shocked to notice that the hotel was under renovation. There was a mess with paint and people working at the entrance and all areas on the... More

Hi Shonou, thank you for taking the time to write this review. You are right we failed in our communication concerning the renovation works. The renovations works are currently limited to the ground floor (lobby, bar and breakfast room). Please accept my sincere apologies with regards to our staff member who was absolutely rude to you. That attitude is unacceptable... More

I stayed one night there and I do not recommend it. The furniture was old, TV did not work correctly, the staff was incredibly slow during check in. But the worst was to come because the front entrance's lights were very noisy and made it difficult to sleep because of the bad noise isolation (from the street, within the hotel... More

Hello jlt5, we wish first to thank you for having stayed at New Hotel Charlemagne in Brussels and for leaving your opinion on Tripadvisor. We have anticipated your comment, indeed, renovation work began in April on the ground floor (lobby, bar and breakfast room) and will end in mid-May. Maybe during your stay you had a chance to see it... More

This is not a luxorious place by any standards. However, the place is charming and the service is nice. The best thing though is its location. 3 minutes walk from European Comission. My room on the 6th floor had also very nice view + the windons actually open! and for EUR95 this is a bargain. More

Towel after the previous guest, dirty curtain, water either cold or hot, furniture old. Room is shabby, but the lcation excellent. The bed was comfortable, though. Lifts look new, the reception is used a lot. The hotel can be used once there is a need to stay somewhere for a night or two, but the hotel owner should either refurbish... More

I arrived at New Hotel Charlemagne on a Wednesday night around 11 PM, after a tiring day at the office in London, only to be told that my room had been rented out. I made reservation through bookings.com which meant that the room had been fully paid for in advance. They sent me to a neighbouring hotel which accepted to... More

Thank you very much for taking the time to post your experience and comments. Unfortunately, due to a human error, we were obliged to reserve a room for you in another hotel nearby. This was a very uncomfortable situation for both of us. We totally agree that the reception should have made apology for this error. For this inconvenience, we... More

I stayed at this hotel for 3 nights in a "Comfort" room. Something of a misnomer, as the room was very basic and tired, definitely in need of repainting and new carpet. Barely enough space to squeeze in between the bed and the desk. However, the location is excellent - very close to the European Commission buildings and the Schuman... More

AWFUL! Found this "4-star" hotel on Hotels.com and decided to stay here on the weekend when the rates were lower because of their location near the EU head quarters. As we were leaving to have dinner one night, we asked the concierge to confirm that our route was the best one and he proceeded to lean on the desk breathing... More

This place should not be rated a 4 star hotel. As matter of fact is barely a 3 star. I stayed there for work yesterday night and I had one of the worst stays in my life. The check in took 20 minutes. The hall and the rooms are untidy and creepy. I asked to change room since the heater... More
