The reviews through this website are agressively negative (not just on this hotel but in general). I don't know what people expect for the cheap price they pay, obviously if you want Hilton-style accommodation, go to the Hilton. This place, like budget hotels through Europe, is cramped and basic and preferable to a hostel because you get your own room and ensuite. The ensuite was comically small and to get to the hotel you have to go down what is essentially an alleyway. Here's the thing: at no point (even as a solo female traveller) did the place feel unclean, unsafe, or unfriendly. The shortcomings of the room were insignificant as the nature of my stay in Brussels was to be out all day and have my eyes closed (for sleeping) at night. If you are a precious, princess-and-the-pea type, don't stay here. Equally, don't try to turn others off from the bargain by pretending that your assessment of the place is divorced from your own sensitivity.
