This hotel is very convenient for the Midi station, which is why we chose it. Outside there are major building and road works, which is not their fault. The hotel itself is basic but functional and the staff were very helpful. It was rather expensive for what it is compared to what we paid elsewhere.

Not a good hotel, but a good location
Room had ants on table and bathroom. Mold was visible on the shower head. No shower door or curtain therefore water got bathroom floor wet. Towels were dingy. The worst bed I ever slept on. You could feel the springs. The room had a window that you could slightly open which was terrible because it was hot and stuffy in the room at night. There was a table fan that helped but it was loud. The best part of this hotel is that it was a few minutes walking from train station and from the Grand Place. There were plenty of convenient stores and eateries nearby.

Not the one to stay if you’re with family
The place is congested and not suitable for family. The beds were 1.5 ft width and you can hardly sleep on it.

Great value, location and cleanliness
For the price, this hotel is superb. Very clean. Decent location (10 minutes walk to Grand Place). Helpful staff. I could be very picky about just a couple of things, but nothing crucial considering how reasonable the cost is. Great hotel.

Nice clean big rooms with excellent shower. The reception staff Mohammad was very friendly and helpful as well as the other staff we met. Highly recommend the hotel parking if you drive there. Location is very good and I would highly recommend this hotel.

The first room we were allocated had greasy food in the bed, smeared on the wardrobe doors, had a dirty, used fork inside the wardrobe (??) and was in general disrepair. The electrical socket was coming out of the wall, the lights flickered when I plugged my charger into a different socket, the table had a large crack down the middle, the floor was broken and large dirty gaps in places, walls scuffed and marked. I could go on. The receptionist changed our rooms, which was at least clean but there was an issue with that plug socket too. Overall, the place was alright for a cheap getaway to Brussels, and was very close to the Midi Train station, and we could walk to the city centre within 20 minutes, but the condition was very much in need of some improvement.

When we arrived at this hotel (which is in a very bad part of town compounded by the fact that they are digging up the entire road/avenue this hotel sits on, we discovered they had no record of our reservation. We had confirmed and paid for the reservation months ago via Expedia. Apparently at some point this hotel declined the reservation claiming they are closed (they are not) but we only learned of this information as we were trying to check in. We had to call (from France with US cell phones) the Expedia service number. After 45 minutes they were luckily able to get us into another hotel in a better and safer location. The gentleman at the front desk (who was very nice and did let us log onto the WiFi to make our call) said that this happens at least once or twice a week with Expedia reservations. Yet for some reason this hotel is still listed on Expedia and still seems to be taking money for reservations they have no intention of honoring.. Strongly advise against this hotel.
