Definitely not a four star hotel! A nice young lady at the reception upgraded my mom's room when she saw my disappointment- that's why I gave the "3 out of 5" rating.Otherwise I would have given it a 2. Outdated, charmless, not even the location seemed friendly. (coming from La Grande-Place it's an uphill walk through noisy, polluted streets, weird... More

In a city sometimes not very friendly, hotel Centrale was the perfect stay: best location, in a very safe and nice area. To the central station is less than 200 m and the next door is the entrance to the metro station, with the connection with all lines. Cathedral Sainte Gudule is behind the hotel; even it seems busy, the... More

Just a minimal walk from the train station, is this very nice, quite reasonably priced hotel in Brussels. Everyone was very pleasant, the room was very clean. Just donnot book without having an included breakfast as the breakfast on its own is expensive. However, there is a great little place right next door to have a croissant and coffee. More

The best that I can say about this hotel is that it is in a great location. This hotel has seen better days and is sorely in need of a total rehab. Our room was in the back so it was quiet. The AC did work. Here's what didn't work. There is a hotel room safe that didn't work. We... More

Hotel Centrale is perfect for business purposes, since it is literally next to the metro station. On top of that, it is about a 5' walk from the centre of the city, which is a major advantage. On the other hand, the hotel could be cheaper, in relation to its condition and the overall quality of the services. It is... More

We spent five nights at this hotel in May-June 2011. Maybe the 4-star rating is a bit too high (the “business center” and the “bar” – both need a little imagination – seem to exist just to get a higher rating) but it’s a good hotel, not expensive and very close to Gare Centrale (Central Station; if you have larger/heavier...

It's in a super-convenient location, just next to the Centrale station and Metro, within easy walking distance to the Grand Place and Place du Sablon. I was here for a meeting at the European Commission, which was four stops away on the Metro, a very quick commute. The linens and bath were clean, but the carpet could have used a... More

The key selling point of this hotel is its location, right next door to the entrance to the Metro at Central station and about 5 minutes walk from the Grand Place and the Place St Gery. The staff were very helpful and friendly and there was very little noise from the road next door. The only slight negative was that... More

The hotel rooms were a nice size, moderately clean and noisey from the main street. This hotel is for the LOCATION. It is a 5 minute walk to the main square by city hall. The staff is helpful with any questions. This hotel provides your basic hotel accomodations. More

I went to the Hotel centrale on February. The hotel is not that bad and also the room is nice, however their price is very very high and I don't think you get what you pay for. Nice location, nice view from the room but no more than that. They also wanted to charge me money saying that I took... More
