Hotel Machelen dengan Tempat Letak Kereta

Friendly & helpful reception . Good & cause room . Free soft drinks ( water & cola) , coffee & tea. The room has to be cleaned better. The train station is close the hotel. 15 minutes by train to downtown of Brussels

The reception knew that we arrived. Wonderful service. The Check Out was super easy. I will come again. Highly recommend the Hotel. Very Close to the Subway as well.

So, if you have any allergies best avoid this hotel, they have no care for anyone with allergies. I am a celiac, on my first day we got there we were all informed the restaurant was on a small menu due to staff issues, so there was nothing at all for me on this small menu (I have come to expect this) what I didnt expect was to be totally ignored at breakfast. I took a sign that explained my allergies in the local dialect, I took 3 different cards to avoid any issues. I gave the sign to the receptionist who took me to the breakfast buffet and said there was nothing for me. Come the 2nd day, I did the same as the receptionist was different, he took the sign to the chef who informed him there was nothing they could make me. So at €120 a night for bed and breakfast, I couldn't have any breakfast, 3 nights I stayed and I didnt have a single item of food from the hotel. I asked to speak to a manager who obviously ignored me as she didn't want the hassle. When I got home I emailed the company who own ibis (it was a pain to find an email in the first place) they said it wasn't correct and would email the hotel to investigate the issue. After 2 days I get an email back from the manager of the hotel, the email said there was actually something I could eat bar the ham and cheese her receptionist stated. She also explained there was no cross contamination even though I was watching her staff contaminate all the food she claimed I could have. I emailed back and obviously she couldn't be bothered to reply. I tried to email the initial company who now ignored me and refuse to solve this issue. I have never experienced anything like this before, I had nothing to eat for breakfast and as we were on the spa f1 trip when we all got to the track again there was nothing for me so I ended up loosing alot of weight due to this. At €120 a night its ridiculous to think there was no breakfast for me, its even worse to think the hotel refused to dp anything about it. They have a sign above the buffet that had all the allergies on it but clearly this is just a facade as if you ask the staff they have no clue and just stand there going well you can't have any food, it's a shame. Please bare in mine this hotel is in the middle of an industrial estate and there are no other restaurants or takeaways nearby so if you can't eat at the hotel you have to travel to Brussels to get something. So the hotel its self. As stated the staff are all useless and have no care whatsoever The room was small, cold, dirty and unsuitable. There was no safe, the tv didn't work, the window wouldn't close properly, the room was always cold but they provided massive duvets to counter this. One night at 4am there was some kid in the hall having a shouting match with himself, this wouldn't have been the hotel's issue, but I was the first room on the ground floor next to reception, so when this guy was shouting and waking up the whole hotel, he was 5meter away from the receptionist who didn't do any

Excellent service, specially from the front desk! Clean! Had a greta sleep. I missed my flight and hotel was just want I need at the time. I recommend this hotel to anyone who need to be close to the airport

In my experience hotels such as the Holiday Inn Airport Brussels are few and far between. They were prompt, efficient, had answers to all our questions, and catered to our whims. The lobby/main floor caters to the comforts of their guests with a lounge area, bar area, restaurant area, and an outdoor area. The breakfast and dinner was superb (I had the salmon for dinner). Perhaps an improvement could be made to the three slight level differences in the room as it would be safer for those who are a bit wobbly on their feet.

Fabulous room, very quiet. Beautiful mattress, pillows. Bathtub and shower separate. Be aware shuttle bus is limited in hours see the picture below. Delicious breakfast huge range. Book in room or pay 24 euro extra.

I was surprised not to have a global lamp button close to the bed that switch off all the lamps at once. (room 303) I had to go to the door, close all the lamp, and return in my bed when all was dark. Very surprised in Marriott ! Normal hotels elswhere and a global switch near the bed.

Location is great, service is very good too. The hotel, despite being quite new, already shows signs of wear and tear. One of the lifts was not working during my stay and I found the soap container in the bathroom on the floor (it had fallen off the wall). A bit of attention to detail and this place will be unbeatable for a quick stop in Brussels. I'd book it again.

This was an adequate hotel for a one-night stay that would allow us to easily get to the airport by 6 am. The receptionist ordered a van that did accommodate the bike box that we were using (oversize luggage) and arrived on time. We shared it with 4 airline staff members. The only problems we had were getting there. We came from the US and did not have online services except when we had access to wifi. The hotel told us ”You have the IC train to Zaventem and Brussels Airport Zaventem or you have the S train to Schaerbeek and Louvain for both trains you will have to step off at Diegem.” For timetables and tracks info, you can ask the staff at the station or check the display panels.” The IC train to Brussels Airport does not stop at Diegem. Luckily we noticed Diegem was not listed on the display panel at the track when the train was arriving and asked someone to verify before getting on that train. The hotel does not provide enough information to identify the specific train to take from central station in Brussels. There are trains leaving constantly from at least 7 tracks and the main display panels in the main part of the station telling you which track to go to list only the destinations, not the interim stops. it is vital to be able to identify the exact train you need. There are no paper timetables available, no wifi, no information desk to help, and the ticket line is extremely slow. I found the right train by standing in the ticket line and talking randomly in French and English about how there seemed to be no way to identify the train I needed to take. Another person in the ticket line volunteered to help by looking it up on his phone. This is something that is impossible without easy online access, and knowledge of how the train website works. The hotel needs to be able to tell people exactly which trains stop at Diegem. This seems like minimum courtesy for their guests. Getting from the train station to the hotel was also a problem. Google maps gave three different sets of instructions, which we obtained from two locals and using Google maps location services. None of them were correct, so the hotel needs to provide exact instructions to get to the hotel from the train station, including an exact map and street names. Again, this seems like minimum courtesy to guests.

First time I've stayed in a Penta Hotel. Excellent & helpful communication with hotel prior to my stay. Like others I found checking in at the bar very strange and I found the guy at the bar doing this very curt (it was around 11 at night so maybe he had a hard day!). Decor on ground floor very modern, moody and dark - great they had a complimentary water cooler available. Rooms are very small but for one night it was fine - again modern decor and clean. My room could have done with a bit of maintenance however - curtain loose and paint(?) stain on carpet. The strangest thing about the room was how close the hairdryer was to the sink - couldn't really help splashing it when getting washed! Surely this can't be compliant with current safety regulations (see pic). All in all had a great sleep and would use Pentahotels again based on this short 1-night stay.
