Hotel berhampiran Mural Escorpión di Brussels

I had absolutely no real issues with this hotel whatsoever. It didn’t really set my heart alight but considering the excellent price, the proximity to the city centre, the excellent transport links and the overall cleanliness (including sweet scented foyer!), I would rate it more than average. I mean, I booked this just a week in advance and by no means felt shortchanged for my three-night stay. It really was great value for money next to similar hotels nearer the centre. Thank you.

We booked several rooms for a group and in general the hotel and the rooms looked amazing but sadly that was just the looks. The beds are way too soft, the lights are not working properly: you cannot turn on the lights in the bathroom if the lights in the room are not on. Plus the lights turn on and off whenever they like and without any reason. Sometimes you cannot just turn them on. The water is also like this: you either shower with boiling water or ice cold water, there is nothing in between. I would definitely not recommend this hotel and probably the three stars are like two…

The location is very good, right next to the grand place. However, the rooms are old and need to be updated. The sink in the bathroom and the woodwork had cracks. The corridors were dark and dingy. The lamps or coffee machine have to be disconnected to be able to charge one’s devices. There are no adapters or usb ports. The day we arrived, the bell boy was on holiday, so there was no one to help with the bags. The front office staff, other than the most junior of them, seemed totally disinterested. The room was hot in the night and the aircon panel did not work. When we told the front office staff that the air conditioning didn’t work adequately, they didn’t even acknowledge what we were saying, let alone offer any explanation or apology. The breakfast was fine, but the staff again showed very little interest in even asking if we wanted a cooked breakfast. Wouldn’t recommend.

Extremely nice location Just opposite the central train station Behind is Grand Place at walking distance Excellent rooms and great location Carrefour is right outside on the corner of the hotel

Great location.. good facilities Excellent staff Water pressure and hot water were an issue. Turn the taps on 10 minutes before your shower Rooftop was nice. Poor service up there tho

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.

Very much enjoyed my stay at this hotel - excellent location, it is a 3 minute walk to Grand Place with restaurants, bars, waffle and ice-cream shops etc. nearby. Customer service is another highlight - I left my wedding ring and a cardigan in the room and Nicolas went to the room to look for them for me right away when I called, and kept them safely until I went to pick up that afternoon. All good!

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 .

Very good value for the price paid. I stayed here for 7 nights in different rooms: single twin bed en-suite shower, 3 bed girls dorm room and 6 bed girls dorm. About 15 mins walk from Brussels Central and maybe 20 mins from Brussels North Station accessible from Brussels Airport. 24 hr reception and helpful staff to welcome you to the hostel. Affordable prices for dorm rooms and all rooms include free breakfast 7-10am (coffee, tea, juice, water, milk, bread, cereal, ham, cheese, tomatoes, cucumbers, salad) FYI: bring your own lock for the lockers, your own travel towel (or pay 1 euro), hand soap/soap bar (not provided in bathrooms) and ear plugs/eye mask. Limited lockers (large and small) available on ground floor (use your own lock) are free to use. Otherwise, ask staff to store your luggage in the luggage room. Lots of space on ground floor to hang out including tables, chairs, some computers for guest use, vending machines, plus very good free wifi. Cons: noisy rooms especially facing the street side (despite the window being closed) and rooms not sound-proof easily allowing hallway noise in and noise from neighboring rooms. Also, no curtains on the windows so some light enters the room if you prefer a dark room to sleep. Lockout time from 11am-3pm if staying in hostel rooms due to daily cleaning. There was a heating/AC unit in some rooms but I did not utilize it as the temperature at the time I visited was mild with rain some days. When the room got hot, I opened the windows to ventilate the space. Would recommend staying here if on a budget and needing a centrally located, safe place to sleep.

Accessibility and Location: Right next to De Broukere station, perfect for getting around by public transport and on foot to major sights of Brussels. Cleanliness: 10/10 Comfort: 10/10 large rooms, comfortable bed and pillows. Service: Fantastic! Staff were welcoming and attentive. Good self-laundry service.
