Reviews and Ratings
I had a bit of a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but the smell was not pleasant before check-out time. The staff was a combination of unfriendly and really friendly, with some being very helpful and patient with our late arrival at 2 a.m. The hotel's location was good for specific travel needs but lacked nearby food options. The dining choices were limited and a bit pricey. Overall, it was a decent stay with some room for improvement.
The hotel offers modern rooms with a new and clean bathroom setup, but lacks tea and coffee making facilities and has issues with the air conditioning. The service was friendly and helpful, although there were minor communication issues. The location is convenient for traveling to key spots and allows pets, but may be a bit far from downtown. Dining options were varied with a good buffet layout. Overall, the hotel provides value for money with comfortable accommodations.
The hotel had some issues with room size and noise due to its location near a busy road. There was also a noticeable cigarette smell in a designated non-smoking room. The shower was average, and the hotel required guests to stretch to reach the high-up wall fixtures, which was inconvenient. On a positive note, the service was friendly and helpful, with staff even joining guests for breakfast. The location was lovely and easy to find, although it seemed to lack nearby dining options and was not very close to local transportation. The dining experience was nice overall but slightly pricey. A standout feature was the complete and satisfying meal offering. Additional details highlighted the hotel's reduced size from a previous visit and its convenient proximity to Brussels Airport. The overall value for money was indicated, suggesting that the facilities were decent but not exceptional.
