The only thing 'four stars' about this hotel are the receptionists. They are very friendly and welcoming.

However, the hotel itself was not as good as expected. For example, this is the first time ever I have stayed in a hotel where room temperature could not be regulated (air was dry, temperature too high). Also, there was no minibar/refrigerator in the room, which was surprising, because when we checked in we were asked to block 50 Euros from our credit card 'for the minibar and other services'.

The room was spacious and clean, but the bathroom was not so clean (some very suspicious reddish stains around the bathtub and on the floor) and the bed is so light in weight that if you lean against the wall (reading a book, watching tv) the bed would move away from the wall.

Also, the location is quite far frome the city centre. On one side of the hotel, there's a business district. On the other side, there's a bad looking neighborhood without any nice cafe's or restaurant. Basically, all food you can have within walking distance is kebab. Except for the hotel restaurant, which is not too bad, although the owner(?) was not very forthcoming. We had a complimentary bottle of wine to collect from the restaurant, but were not allowed to have it with our dinner. We were told we could have the wine only in our room, which was kind of surprising.

On the plus side, the complete a la carte menu can be delivered to your room for a small charge of around 3 Euros.

We had the entrecote, which was quite good and very well grilled, and the duck, which had far too much fat on it and was overcooked. Fries were not crispy at all (heated up in the microwave or something?).

All in all, next time I would pay a little bit more for a different hotel.

The hotel isn't in the old district - it is a 5 minute walk from Brussels "Gare du Nord" Railway Station. It is a business district so not busy at night.
You can ride a bike into town or catch the underground - nothing is very far.
The hotel has spacious rooms that are clean. The staff are friendly. So if you want to escape to a quieter, less touristy location - with a large room - this is a great spot to spend a few days.

The highlight of our stay was a visit (50 minutes by train leaving from Gare du Nord) to the Tintin Museum and wandering around the old town!

In my opinion Husa is an average 3 star hotel. Location is rather incovenient, metro station not close and parking quite expensive for that area (20€/night). Rooms were quite clean.

My overall opinion however is quite negative of this hotel due an incident - the bad design of the main entrance step resulted in fall and serious injury. At the very moment staff seemed to be lost and could even not find quickly a on duty hospital.

The next day I decided to have a discussion with the front desk manager, mr Michael Herzl. I explained that the step is badly designed as its not visible when exiting the hotel - he limited his generocity to offering a free coffee, a room price that was more expensive than in the internet and an advise to be careful next time!

I ask at the reception. The hotel is 30 years old but was renovated 2 years ago. I asked and owners didn't buy new beds(tough beds), or new towels. What about toiletries in the room or even kleenex?
TV didn't work or I didn't figure out how it works. To its benefit, rooms are spacious.
Breakfast was standard.
In conclusion, not a 4 stars. 3 1/2 and I am giving them the extra 1/2 for the cleanliness and the effective reception proffesionals the hotel has.
