From the outside this hotel doesn't really have "the looks", and also the lobby is outdated, but that's gives it an unique charm. The rooms are clean, with a roomy bathroom, television and comfy bed. Not luxureous, but comfortable eqquiped. There is no lift, but when you're packed for 2 nights, that's no problem. No airconditioning. More

This little place that does not look so good from the outside, offers orignal designed rooms really pretty. Although at the heart of Brussels, we have not been disturbed by noise but have benefited from this ideal situation! The big problem is the breakfast that offers really nothing to remember ... More

just returned from 3nights at the Esperance and would mirror the comments of recent reviews. The location of the hotel being 10 minutes from main rail station enabled us to take an unscheduled day trip to Ghent before going on to Bruges. Main attractions are close by so another plus for the hotels location. The stairs keep you fit and... More

Just returned from a 2 night, midweek stay here. Stay was pleasant. Had no problems with the room, service from staff or noise issues from bar underneath. We were a party of 3 and so had been allocated the attic room. As previous reviews state, there are no lifts so carried our suitcase up 5 narrow flights. Cannot recommend this... More

Firstly if you're driving, the hotel is about a 10 minute walk from the multistory carpark it advertises as "nearby", not a very impressive sight to be seen dragging your luggage through a mall and the streets ! However the hotel itself is indeed in a good location (walking) located in an alley off a busy high street. Recommend upgrading... More

We only stayed for one night, in the blue room, and it was lovely. Really warm welcome on arrival, some complimentary drinks whilst we waited a mere 5 minutes for our room to be ready (we arrived at 11am, check in is not until 3pm!). Although the view wasn't awe inspiring from our window, you could make out the church... More

Nicely decorated rooms -- ours was gold-themed, which I quite liked. It had a window from the shower that faced into the bedroom -- I've never seen that before! (You can pull the shower curtain across if you're feeling shy.) Nice views of the roofs and the neighboring church. My husband and I liked the Deco bar, and the continental... More

pros: cleanliness, quirkiness, good noise insulation of windows cons: location (yes, location is not as great as it seems). it is next to a shady sports betting place, next to "not cute" shopping street. We saw a man urinating from our window. I strongly advise against staying in this part of town. thin walls -noise from all around, waking up... More

What a pleasant spot to stay in Brussels! Quirky, clean, bright, friendly, and in a perfect spot. Loved the art deco restaurant on the ground level. We had the green room on the 3rd floor - and when the church bells rang from the little church just around the corner and we could open our french doors onto the tiny... More
