I’ve recently been a guest in this hotel for a business trip, which happens to me in Brussels about once every couple of months. After a series of lackluster experiences in other structures in Brussels, the one herel was a particular satisfying.

The structure is above average, not great but nice, with the very great added bonus of a small but very tidy gym with a great sauna structure which is just perfect to get rid of the business day’ stress. The room was indeed little, but confortable, the bathroom huge. The position is immensely convenient and also added to the value of the staying, allowing for brief downtown raids.

However, what really stood out (and was surprised by some negative review in this department) was the personnel. In particular the staff at the reception has been immensely nice and helpful during my stay and even after that, when they were very prompt in acting on a call of mine signaling my loss of a tiny USB receiver which was recovered in my room and promptly sent to me back to Italy (at my expenses, which is just fine, with very good padding).
They have the added bonus of smiling when interacting with the guests… which I found to be a somewhat rare thing in Brussels.

If only one critic could be raised, the bar tend to become pretty noisy, in particular over Friday night and the central hall’s conformation amplifies the noise which indeed becomes a nuisance, at least for a room, as mine was, on a lower floor and with a window facing said hall. I am used to earplugs when I travels, but admittedly that can be annoying. interestingly, some Finn association has sauna meetings here on fridays, which one might want to be careful about as not everyone can cope with their way to use the sauna.

If you are looking for a hotel that has helpful/friendly staff comfortable rooms, and a good location, and the price is right then look no further, having paid £72 a night including breakfast. I thought is was excellent value, The breakfast has more than the usual continental type with bacon, scrambled eggs,beans,mushrooms,fruit, juices,coffee, yoghurt toast and more.....Rooms sometimes don't have views to the outside, unless you are at the front of the hotel and most look into the atrium inside where the glass lifts are, but that is a minor point if your not spending forever in your rooms. We has 7 rooms booked in our group and only 1 had to move rooms due to having sounds from flushing toilets audible inside the room at night.

Stayed in a standard twin room on the second leg of my trip to Brussel. The room was a squeeze but it was clean. We barely had space for our luggage! The bathroom however came with a tub, ironically. I selected this hotel mainly for its location and price. It's a very short walk to the Centraal Station and within walking distance to the Grote Markt and other shops.

The best part about this hotel was the breakfast. Room came with breakfast and I think it had quite a good selection. I loved the bakery selection! Service at reception was great; staff spoke good English and were helpful.

We went to Brussels for Christmas this year and decided to stay at the Scandic because of the price and location. It is a good hotel. The room was basic and clean. It was not large and the view was of a brick building next door. The breakfast was pretty basic but was included and decent. Wi-fi was included with a password given every day. Good deal and very solid hotel. The location was fantastic.
