“Bad food and the shuttle bus”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

We had a cancelled flight and thus the flight company offered us a stay at the hotel, sounded good - free dinner and a shuttlebus.

First we waited 20 min for the bus - no sign of it so we took a taxi. When we arrived at the hotel they didn't know anything about the bus needed to pick someone up in the airport.So far so good..

We went down to what appeared to be the restaurant - 3 tables and some couches. We had a voucher for 3 course menu and looked forward to get some food! When the waiter came he told us that they only served one dish and two soft drinks - well, we came this far so we accepted! When the food came in it looked awful, it was some strange meat with mashed potatos/able? It tasted very bad so we went kinda hungry to bed.

The breakfast was okay, but nothing impressive.

Next day the shuttlebus picked us up at the hotel and droved us to the airport.

Beside for the food and bus, the rooms was fine and clean. Except for the lack of heat in the room and hot water to shower.

I wouldnt recommend this hotel if you are looking for a nice place to stay.

Room Tip: Ask for a room with heat and hot water.

“strange place”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 December 2011

person found this review helpful

We only needed hotel for one night rest on a long trip, didn't stay in Brussels for anything else. So we booked this one as it was on offer and no need to enter the city to reach it. If you arrive by car and use their car park, you enter the hotel via utility rooms and part of kitchen area - NOT a good look for '4' star hotel. Parking fee (we arrived at 10pm and left at 8am) is 17 euros which is slightly over the top. When we made a comment about it to check in receptionist she basically told us if we don't like it we have other options. In another words - 'you've booked a cheap offer, you're lucky you can stay here'. It was quite shocking as well as them taking a holding deposit even though they already had our cc details. She continued being very defensive throughout the checking process repeating she isn't a manager and rules are rules instead of giving normal professional answers to our questions.
Room was very good, clean, nice decor, comfortable. Would have been very happy with it if the staff's welcome haven't spoiled all our later impressions. But it was very noisy, service lift was running every 30 minutes. Breakfast were nice too. Would come back if they give staff a bit of basic customer service training.

“Some good, some bad evens out at a three rating”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 December 2011

We stayed here for convenience because of business and the location near where we were meeting. The good is that the bar area was warm and inviting and the free shuttle service to the airport (worth at least 15-20 euros by my calculation). Also staff was very nice and polite and helpful. Within walking distance of some decent restaurants and is in a decent neighborhood (with town homes and apartments).

The bad is that the rooms are somewhat threadbare (my was recently renovated but one of my colleagues was in a rather run down room with a bed equal to an American Single bed at best). My bathroom was tired and rundown, despite recent room renovations. I would guess the hotel was built in 1979 or 80 so it is of that vintage. No work out facility either.
It did have the advantage of being rather inexpensive for Brussels at 125 euros.

Room Tip: Ask for a renovated room and one with at least a queen bed!

“Let down in Brussels”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 September 2011

So I booked this hotel because of the free airport shuttle, the only problem was the shuttle was going to take 45 minutes to pick me up from the airport, and it wasn't available when I wanted to leave. The room was really run down, the phone didn't work I had to actually call reception from my cell phone. Room service closed earlier than the menu in the room said, I found out when I found out when I tried to order some late one night. I had a horrible stay, I won't be going back.
