Great Weekend with the Girls

This hotel is in an ideal location. Very close to the North Station which has trains to and from the Airport very frequently. Just 10 mins walk from all the pubs and bars. Would stay again definitely.

Great entrance but average room

The reception for the hotel is lovely and it makes you expect more for your room. My room was basic, the wifi was so weak you couldnt use it in the room, there was no hairdryer in the room and one of the 2 plug sockets did not work. The shower had lovely hot water but the shower head holder was broken so you had to hold it. The location is good but I don't think I would stay here again, there are better hotels for the price.

Can't go wrong

Very nice stay! Had no problems at all, great rooms at great prices in a good location. Friendly and helpfull staff . Only thing is that my room didn't have a full length mirror because the 2nd extra bed was in front the wardrobe with mirror inside so had to keep moving my bed. I would stay again

Business trip

I was on a business trip for 3 days with and was going to visit several locations around the city on a tight timetable. The hotel is located on a side street right next to the Rogier central tram and metro station. From there it was easy to get anwhere. Gare du Nord is only one stop away so you can walk unless you have very heavy luggage. Staff was really helpful and friendly. The room was small and worn, but clean. The bathroom and shower was small but very functional. Beds were narrow but comfortable. From the hotel it is only a km or so nice walking to the Grand Place, and right on the opposite of the Rogier square is a rather large mall with a good food garden in the basement. Very good for the budget busines traveller!

The hotel is close to some "facilities" of the city and the price is ok. In the bathroom the quench head is very carbonsied and the soap dish is hanging down => maintenance of the shower is heavy needed.
