“Not Ibis at its best...”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 February 2012

Ibis hotels are usually predictable, functional, and affordable. Design is simple, extravagance is banned. But this one comes in at the low end of the brand. Serive at reception is efficient, but barely friendly. Overll, the hotel looks a little worn, bathroom tiny and poky. Finish is tacky. Room a little cold. I've actually stayed at another Ibis near the central station, and i would certainly recommend it as very much better than this one.

“Great value when the EU is out of session!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 February 2012

We stayed here on a Rick Steve's recommendation, being more interested in value rather than atmosphere since Brussels is rather expensive. Because we were here in August, when the EC is not in session, the rooms were half-price, which made them extremely affordable. They were definitely business rooms, which means clean, modern, and fairly large. We had a good-sized TV, which was nice if you speak French (we do!) and need to see the weather or whatever. The location was fantastic, a short walk to the center of sightseeing and the train station.
We did not eat the continental breakfast, since we figured we could do better than 14 euros. The only complaints I had about the room were the lack of toiletries in the bathroom (there was a multi-purpose shower gel/ hand soap/shampoo dispenser that wasn't good for anything other than hand washing and was hard to use because it wasn't in the shower) and the fact that the mattress was quite possibly the hardest mattress I've ever slept on, so hard in fact that my knees and hips hurt more after sleeping on this thing than after a full day of sightseeing. But having been to other places in Belgium, it seems that these are both standards for hotels, as they all seem to have hard mattresses and few toiletries either. If you are used to visiting other places in Europe, this may come as a surprise, so come prepared. Guys probably won't care too much about the toiletries issue, but I couldn't deal with it.

Overall, a great value- make the most of your stay by finding breakfast elsewhere and bringing your own shampoo and soap!

“Hotel ok - tiny room”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2012

This hotel was good, as far as service and bar. BUT, the room was the smallest hotel room I've ever witnessed! My colleague had her own room and hers was just as small, though shaped a little differently. You could barely wheel your luggage in, because the door opened to the foot of the bed, with little room to get luggage in. I was by myself, but if I would have had my husband and/or daughter with me... it would have been impossible to stay!!
