The hotel has stylish and comfortable rooms, though there was a delay in the check-in process. The service provided was friendly and polite, with some noise issues addressed promptly. The location is conveniently close to transportation hubs and local attractions, despite being in a slightly sketchy district. The dining options are satisfactory but not exceptional. Overall, the property offers good value for money.

The location, while not in the touristy center, is still charming with friendly locals. The dining experience is satisfying despite some high costs. Overall, a decent value for money option in Brussels.
The hotel's rooms, although different from the online pictures, were nice overall, and the off-street parking fee seemed a bit high. The location was very good, close to the city center, but the area could be uncomfortable at night. The dining experience had both positive and negative aspects, with excellent food options but limited variety in certain items.
The hotel is conveniently located near the South train station Midi and is easily accessible from the Grande Place. The rooms, although clean, appear somewhat run down, especially in the older part of the hotel. The staff was kind and professional, offering helpful directions and assistance. The dining experience was satisfactory, with good value for the money spent. The hotel location, while not right in the center of the old town, is close to the main train station.
The hotel is located on the top floor next to the waste pipes, with no air conditioning available, but the rooms are very nice and clean. Unfortunately, there was no screen on the window, leading to mosquito bites all night.
The hotel was spacious and comfortable, with a balcony linking all the rooms, but cooling down the room was a challenge as windows didn't open much. The service was nice and communicative, although lacking in providing guidance for local transport and sightseeing. The location, while close to the city center, was in a gritty and rough area. The dining experience was just okay, offering limited choices and sometimes delayed refills. Overall, the hotel offers decent rooms and service but has some drawbacks in location and dining options.
The room was spacious and well-equipped with a safe, mini toiletries, shower, and a TV, making it a comfortable stay. However, the breakfast bar lacked variety and did not meet the three-star standard as advertised.
The hotel provided a good-sized room with a nice bathroom and shower, although it appeared very dated and not as pictured. There were sufficient Nutella portions at the breakfast bar. The cleanliness was decent, fitting the budget hotel category.
The hotel is situated in an older part of the building in need of refurbishment, with noisy rooms and basic amenities. However, it offers a practical location for easy access to public transportation and the main city attractions.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were large, clean, and super comfortable, but lacked basic amenities like a tea kettle and water. The service was a mix of being professional and rude. The location was convenient to major attractions but felt uneasy due to the street's atmosphere. The dining experience had its highs and lows with a variety of food but also unwelcoming guests in the lobby. Overall, a decent stay with room for improvement.
