The location was excellent, Bruxelles Nord train station is 2 blocks away and metro station Rogier just outside the hotel. Also there are lots of shops in the area. Lobby was nice and elegant, and the hotel offers a free internet in the common area (wi-fi in the rooms cost 7 Euros per day). Staff seemed helpful and spoke english.... More

This hotel is conveniently located if you are doing EC work at the nearby Covent Garden Building, and it is within the EC reimbursement rate for hotels. It is an easy walk from the train station (north). When you walk into the hotel, you will feel as if you have stepped back in time -- dated decor, dim lighting, small... More

Stayed for a working week while doing EU evaluations at the nearby Covent Garden Building. Chosen because on-line reviews, especially fr business use, were OK in general. But the hotel is really not suitable for business if you need to work comfortably in the evenings. I was given a three bed room, with a hand-held shower in the bath, which... More

My company usually book this hotel and I stayed here a few times. Not that I prefer it or like it but it is somehow ok for Bruxelles. I stayed in a coupled of different rooms in this hotel at different floors. Hotel is a bit rusty and furniture is rather old fashioned and need some renovation. Rooms are clean... More

I stayed two nights at this hotel in Brussels. I chose it because of the location, and the price (75 euros a night with breakfast, but without the local night taxes). The hotel is located next to the Sheraton/Crowne Plaza, etc., 10 minutes on foot from the Grand Place and some 7 minutes on foot to the train station, which... More

We stayed at this hotel just for one night upon arriving at Brussels. The location of the hotel is fairly convenient with some nice restaurants around like "Brussels Grill". The lobby of the hotel is quite impressive and lavishly decorated. The breakfast room is very beautiful with comfortable leather chairs and a good variety of breakfast choices. Great coffee and...

An old hotel in the heart of Brussels, offered usually at a law price, compared with the other hotels in the town. Des colonies hotel has nothing to offer more than a sleep. If you go for business in Brussels you can chose it and avoid paying the double or the triple price to stay in a better one. Des... More

Near several of the large and expensive hotels that predominate in Brussels, Hotel des Colonies gives you what you’ve paid for – a basic room with a decent breakfast. Maybe more than you’ve paid for, with a good location near the north rail station and within walking distance to the Grand Place. Rooms are small, typical of an old hotel.... More
