This hotel is dated and needs a complete re-fit. It is miserable and smells of stale smoke. The one good thing is the location. Surly service at breakfast when we asked for coffee - the waiter just pointed to a small pot in front of the couple who were already sitting at the table. Blankets and sheets on the too-soft... more

Stayed twice at the Astrid into and out of Europe. Rooms were clean and up to standard European fare for this price level. Execellent place from which to walk central Brussels. Internet is 10E for an entire day. 20 minute walk from north station. Go straight out of south entrance until you reach the Panasonic tower, then turn right two... more

this was my first trip to europe and i was definitely prepared for the difference between american and european hotels, and this one pretty much fit the bill. definitely as nice or nicer than any of the other places i stayed during my trip. the room had air conditioning - which can't be said about any of the other hotels.... more

My partner and I stayed at the Hotel Astrid for one night, and found it to be a decent, if slightly disappointing, place in which to rest our heads. I had a lot of trouble finding an inexpensive, centrally-located hotel in Brussels and finally settled on the Astrid as a result of mostly positive reviews on this website. While I... more

Tired from a train journey, we arrived at this hotel at 7.30pm, only to be told that due to a "technical problem", our room wasn't available. Seemingly we're not the first, by the looks of other reviews here. They could give us an alternative room at a different hotel, and proceeded to do so (and taxi us there). Notwithstanding the... more

We arrived before noon for a one night stay at this hotel. We only had one night in Brussels so I wanted to be near the Grand Place. When we arrived we were told we did not have a room due to a "technical problem" the desk clerk would not discuss what a technical problem is but we were told... more

We wanted a hotel that was in a central location and Astrid Centre was ideal for that. As previous reviews have said it is basic but very clean. We didn't opt for breakfast as we thought it was expensive and there are loads of cafes and places to eat near bye. The staff were friendly and allowed us to check... more

The side street of the hotel has a "pavé" instead of asfalt and there is a continuous movement of cars with people with the "night club" there located, which makes a continuous noise all night long. Furthermore the reception is reluctant to ask noisy groups of guests to calm down at night. It is NOT CALM at all. more

We stayed here for one night between Christmas and New Year. We managed to get a fantastic rate for a city-centre hotel (€66), which was the deciding factor. The location is marvellous, being just round the corner from the fish market and Saint Catherine's Cathedral, and is close to two Metro stops. The lobby looks as though it has had... more
