“If you must...”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 December 2011
1
person found this review helpful

I choose my hotels based on three things: free breakfast? check. free wifi? check. close to the train station? Semi check. Though Hotel Carlton meets these requirements, it was a less than desirable place to stay. The room was tiny and you still need to get up some stairs to get to the elevator. This is not good if you have issues walking or in our case, lots of luggage. The price was decent and it was near to most of the touristy stuff but I'm certain there are better places out there. If not and you must stay, try to request a corner suite. We felt like we're climbing on top of each other and sleeping in suitcases!

Room Tip: Try for a corner or request a suite!

“A non ensuite?”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 November 2011 via mobile

Back to the 1970s with room 408 which is clearly offered to those who check in late. A walk across the hall takes you to your bathroom. Not good at the rate offered. Not acceptable

“Basic, comfortable and quiet”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 October 2011

Our room was rather basic, but clean--and spacious by Brussels standards. The renovated bathroom was very functional and bright. The hotel is in a quiet neighborhood that is largely deserted at night, though there are a couple of charming cafes nearby. Service was good. We had to have some printing done and the front desk did it at no charge. Breakfast was much better than average for a hotel. So don't expect luxury, but the Hotel du Congres offers good service and basic, comfortable rooms in a quiet location.

“Great location and value”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 August 2011

I enjoyed my stay here. Room was small but clean. A continental breakfast was a nice feature. The lobby, dining area and meeting rooms are very nice and in a bit of a contrast to the rest of the hotel. Very centrally located and easy to walk everywhere from here.

“If you like student dorms, you will like it”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 August 2011

person found this review helpful

Very basic, relatively clean. Wireless internet connection is good. Area is completely dead at night, empty streets. On the other hand, the hotel corridors teem with nocturnal life - guests walk from room to room to visit friends, banging the doors. Really, it is like a student dorm.
