Hotel berhampiran La Halte, Brussels

Hotel Siru is bijzonder goed gelegen voor wie in de kantoren rond het Noord-station moet zijn of voor wie Brussel wil verkennen. De toegangsdeur is defect en dus moet men binnengaan via het hotel ernaast. De mensen aan het onthaal zijn vriendelijk en behulpzaam. De lift is klein en verouderd. In de traphal is de signalisatie onduidelijk… De kamer is op zich ok: klein en net, maar ook met een degelijk bed, bureautje, stopcontacten en USB-poorten voor bv. het opladen van een gsm, grote kast. De WiFi-verbinding is slecht en valt geregeld uit. Het verduisteringsgordijn is net te klein waardoor je de kamer eigenlijk niet kan verduisteren. Op de deur zitten vieze lijmsporen en een evacuatieplan ontbreekt. Er is koffie en water op de kamer. De badkamer met toilet, lavabo en douche is ook klein. Er zijn handdoeken, zeepjes enz. De douche loopt echter nauwelijks tot niet door en is afgeboord met gladde tegeltjes met vervuilde voegen (w.o. ook schimmels). Ook het toilet spoelt moeilijk door. Jammer genoeg is er ‘s nachts heel veel lawaai: straatlawaai vanop het plein, maar ook veel storende geluiden uit de bovenliggende badkamers en douches. Ik vermoed dat hier ook nogal wat mensen logeren die naar de luchthaven moeten want vanaf 4.30 u. hoor je mensen de kamer en de gang verlaten…. Vaak met slaande deuren. Het ontbijt is ok: goede koffie (maar slechts een machine…) en fruitsap, voldoende keuze aan brood en beleg, roerei, worstjes, kaas, charcuterie en zelfs fruitsla. Als het druk is, worden de tafels echter niet vlug genoeg afgeruimd waardoor je vaak aan een tafeltje moet zitten waarop de kruimels, vuile kopjes en bestek van vroegere gasten bleven staan. Ik kan dit hotel m.a.w. niet aanbevelen. Het aantal negatieve punten is nl. te groot. En dus zijn prijs en geboden kwaliteit zeker niet in evenwicht. Hier kom ik alvast niet meer terug.

My partner and I have just come back after a new year break in Brussels. After reading the reviews we were a bit sceptical about the hotel but we had a really pleasant stay. The hotel is fine for what we needed it for-mainly to sleep after a long day exploring Brussels. The rooms were basic-yes, but clean and comfortable. The location is great, around a 15minute walk into the main square and a 5 minute walk to the nearest train station which we used to access the atomium. We didn't find the area to be uncomfortable, even when walking home on New Year's Eve at 1am. We booked as part of a Eurostar package and for the price we paid we were very happy. You get what you pay for! Can't comment on the breakfast as we didn't book as part of our package-there are lots of places in the centre to eat.

Just come home from a short two night stay at the hotel and everything was positive. Reception was down a few steps but there's a lift down for anyone who struggles with step. Check in was smooth and took less than 2 minutes . The room was very nice two single beds spaced quite close but if you are staying with friends or family this isn't an issue. Bathroom was clean and large with a bath and shower shower gel and shampoo was supplied attached to the wall in the shower. Free water daily stocked into the room fridge and also free coffee for the coffee machine. The later check out of 12 was a bonus and the hotel are happy to store luggage should you be on an evening flight. The hotel has a nice bar and all staff are friendly . The only issue would be because its such a large hotel the lifts are always busy we had to walk down the stairs from the 10th floor a few times which is a lot of steps so anyone on a higher floor just be warned if you aren't too good at walking. The area around the hotel is pretty nice a bit like a business district but venture a few streets behind and it gets a bit grim and becomes a bit more shady just a warning to have your wits about you if going that way .

I loved my stay at this hotel! The ambience was incredibly relaxing—it felt like I was in the jungle. The location was perfect, close to all the major attractions. Highly recommended!

Just 10’ away from the city Center . A decent hotel, clean not very spacious but one of the few in Europe where I had a balcony. Hence the 4 stars. Easy check in and check out. Breakfast wasn’t offered for the price I paid but in general it was a value for money stay

Can't fault cleanliness and location but apart from the entrance hall the hotel is tired and needs upgrading. I have been to the hotel many times before and recommended it to friends but this time it was very disappointing and I wont go there again. They seem to have *****ped all facilites and service to the minimum and definitely don't seem to care about the customer experience. On arrival the staff at reception were exceptionally slow and unwelcoming with long queues to check in. The staff were neither helpful nor friendly and at times abrupt and rude. They were uninterested in answering any queries and failed to rectify faults throughout our stay. Having booked 5 rooms there were errors and mistakes with rooms offered against had been booked. I had booked similar rooms at the same time and same rate but the quality and size of the rooms we were given was vastly different. They argued that some of the rooms did not have breakfast included despite having booked for all 5 and had confirmation of booking. They failed to explain we needed tickets for breakfast and failed to give them to us at check in. The rooms were clean but needed updating and redecorating. There were no mini bars or tea/coffee making facilities in the room - but the cabinets had been left taking up space but empty and empty with out shelves so had not been repurposed , taking up space in very small rooms. I had about 4 inches clearance between this cabinet and the bed, making moving around the room awkward. The toiletries provided were sub-standard, a small sachet to cover both body and hair wash which was insufficient for either. The towels were ragged at the edges and needed replacing, further evidence that the hotel has cut back on facilites and quality. Catering was sub standard. There was no way to get a cup of tea or coffee in the morning without going to the breakfast room - you could not get tea or coffee in the room before going down to breakfast - and if you only wanted a cup of tea or coffee in the morning you had to pay £12 for the breakfast to access tea and coffee. There was no drinking water available in the room. The breakfast was poor quality with a limited range and the cooked food was limited and cold. What a shame that this ideally located hotel has gone downhill - I would not recommend it to anyone until they get their act together and employ customer friendly, helpful and competent reception staff.

4 of us stayed here in a quad room which was surprisingly very spacious. The hotel is located within walking distance from Bruxelles-Midi Brussel-Zuid train station and bus depot where we caught the Flixibus. At the time the hotel was surrounded in scaffolding and looked like a building site but on entry the inside was clean although slightly cluttered as there was a lot in such a small reception. As you entered, a massive information stand stood separating the reception from the narrow breakfast area. The wooden reception area looked welcoming as lots of plants around and interesting pictures on the wall. Check in was quick & easy. The smallest and oddest lift and I've ever been in took us 2 at a time to the narrow corridors where we found our room. As we entered the room, there was a single bed to the left and the bathroom on the right. Long side the bed was a mirror and at the end of the bed was a chair, a large 5-headed lamp and a desk that held a fridge on one side with a flat screen TV above the desk. The TV could not be properly viewed from the single bed as it was in line with it so it would have probably been best viewed if the TV was placed in the corner for all sleeping areas to view. In front of the desk was a large L-shaped settee which was also wrongly set up to watch the TV as half of the settee meant you had your back to the TV. The settee was used as a bed and situated by a coffee table under a large window that had a city view. To the left of the settee was the large double bed with a headboard that had built in bedside drawers with bedside lamps on each one. Opposite the settee was a large, old-fashioned double wardrobe. There was another window in the room that was small and showed a small balcony which you couldn't access. The mosaic bathroom has 2 sinks with a glass shelf and a large mirror above plus a hairdryer next to them. There was also a bath with a shower hose attached to the bath taps and another small window viewing the inaccessible balcony. We didn't have breakfast but the breakfast area looked clean and basic with a coffee and vending machine and all with table settings for 2. At the end of the breakfast area was a large garden with some artistic statues and at the beginning was a small lounge area with armchairs and a coffee table. The hotel was also located within walking distance to the main shopping, restaurants, bars and club areas.

Well located. You can even catch the 272 bus from the airport to the hotel or vice versa. The room very clean and functional as well as comfortable and well ventilated, warm as well in January as snow fell outside. Very helpful staff. Breakfast wide range of choices, very good value.

I stayed for one night here bei g in the city for a football trip. The hotel is everything I would expect from an Ibis, no thrills, but clean, and comfortable. The room was decent and the bed very comfortable and the bathroom was fine albeit fairly small. The breakfast was decent, all you can eat and drink with a selection of hot , cold meats with cheese, fruits, pastries and yoghurts and toast and it all tasted good. Slight complaint that I waited at the bar to get served and was ignored so gave up - but otherwise the staff were fine. Another bonus is the hotel is literally a few minutes walk from Erasmus metro station which is only 20 minutes from the city centre. I would use it again.
