One of the worse night's sleep I have ever had. I arrived at the hotel on Sunday evening for a two day conference. Unfortunately, on the Sunday night the room above me had a loud party from 3am to 6am in the morning, which kept me wide awake. The first time I rang reception to complain, he assured me that...

Brussels in general is not an easy city to find a good hotel for a decent price. This time I had a limited travel budget and I was chosing this hotel mainly for the price and secondly for its close location to garde de nord. I stayed in this hotel for two nights. The room is fair, it seemed clean,... More

This hotel is in a side road off Place Rogier an area with several major chain hotels charging rates of around €140 per night so to finding a deal at less than €100 per night was very satisfying. The hotel has some character and in places needs some refurbishment but is clean, quiet and offers free wi-fi. Staff were helpful... More

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

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...
