We stayed for two nights, and our experience was let down by slow customer service and poor housekeeping. The hotel is very convenient, right next to Gare du Midi (Brussels Midi Train Station). The hotel has a door directly into the station, making trains and the metro extremely easy to reach. Gare du Midi has a variety of shops and food options, which is convenient for snacks and essentials. The hotel is modern, well-maintained, and our room was spacious. The room had a safe, which was convenient for keeping electronics and valuables secure.
The biggest issue was the bedding. The bed skirt at the bottom of the bed was visibly stained on arrival, and the hotel did not resolve it until the next day, when the manager resumed work. We were upgraded to a different room, which was appreciated, but the delay and poor first impression affected our experience of the hotel.
The staff were friendly and helpful, including storing our luggage before check-in and allowing us to check in early.
The surrounding area is busy and not very pleasant after dark. Gare du Midi, especially around the underpass, can smell strongly of urine, and the area can feel unsafe. Hotel staff advised returning by 10 pm, which is worth noting for travellers.
The hotel is convenient for exploring Brussels and taking day trips to places like Antwerp, Turnhout, and Baarle. Despite our experience, the location and direct station access make it a place we might consider staying at again.
