the hotel is small and you nearly pass it without noticing, the progress hotel in brussels. it is close to the northern trainstation (gare du nord). the lobby and the rooms are quite new and a modern style.
i had an "executive room" which was medium sized, not too small, not too big. i guess regular rooms are quite small. the bed was big and comfortable, the desk was big.
there was a new nescafe machine - i am glad i red the reviews on this website before, otherwise i would not have realized that one cup of coffee is 3€. speaking of which - the mini bar is really expensive.
the windows where next to the street, i got awaken a couple of times by really loud sirenes of police or emergency cars. it was also not possible to warm the room without using the noisy climatisation - i had to wake up to a cold room.
for the price it was not a good experience.
