Hotel di Saint-Gilles

Very friendly and useful service from James, with him providing all of the best places to eat and see. However the area in itself felt unsafe and a bit dangerous.

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.

Pro 1. Easy check in process. 2. Considerable large lobby in European standard. 3. Room size can fit up to 3 kids. 4. Bed and pillows were comfortable 5. Has multiple channels on TV 6. They have an indoor swimming pool. Eventhough small, but my kids just happy to swim in it. 7. Small but very updated gym equipment. Cons 1. Location slightly further up from the historical cobble stone street. 2. When we stay there, construction of an adjacent building causing dirty air circulation. 3. Breakfast was too plain and not many choices. Overall, I still gave 5 stars of experience.

Séjour d’1 nuit en Janvier 2023 L’établissement fait le choix de conduire une rénovation (bien nécessaire) en restant ouvert. Les travaux occasionnent l’arrêt du chauffage dans l’ensemble de l’établissement. La chambre single n°14 était équipée d’un chauffage d’appoint …. qui n’est pas fonctionnel lorsque l’on n’est pas dans la chambre dans la mesure où l’absence du badge d’accès coupe l’électricité. Au coucher la température est donc glaciale et lit de 80 cm (!), équipé d’une couette à peine plus large ne permet pas de se réchauffer. L’eau de la baignoire ne s’écoule pas. La poussière est présente partout (escalier de l’accès de nuit, ascenseur …). Le petit-déjeuner n’apporte aucun réconfort car quelques chauffages d’appoint ne parviennent pas non plus à réchauffer la pièce. Des regrets me sont opposés à la réclamation que j’ai formalisée à la suite de cette expérience désastreuse. L’établissement me répond au bout de 5 jours et m’informe qu’aucun dédommagement ne peut m’être accordé prétendant « ne pas être au courant de cet inconfort » et affirmant que dans le cas contraire « ils auraient changé ma chambre ou trouvé une solution satisfaisante (sic) ». A fuir …. au moins juqu’à la fin des travaux

+: 1) The contact person / owner is good. His reply is fast when we asked him some questions by WhatsApp. 2) The location is not bad. Around 8 min walk to metro station and 2-3 stops to the town. And there are stores and supermarket neaby. 3) The open kitchen is perfect. It is big with enough facilities for you to cook. 4) The house is clean. 5) The owner allow us to store our luggage in kitchen after we come back overnight from other city. -: 1) We live in 3rd floor of the house without lift. We need to take the heavy luggages to the room by the narrow stairs. Although we can put in the kitchen, it is not convenient. 2) The room is little bit stuffy but the fan is too noisy. It is not enough to open the window .

Bilik-bilik adalah saiz yang baik. Luas dan selesa. Bagus kerana mereka mempunyai penghawa dingin untuk gelombang haba! Saluran Inggeris terhad. Secara keseluruhan agak bersih dengan kopi dan teh dan cerek. Tetapi permukaan meja tidak bersih..Lap snd tisu basah saya hitam. Lobi mempunyai suasana pesta yang menarik dan ia adalah minggu esok. Kami menyukai tempat itu kerana kami melancong dengan kanak-kanak dewasa tetapi jika kami datang dengan anak berusia 9 tahun kami, itu tidak sesuai. Jauh dari tempat yang besar tetapi kami memandu jadi ok. Jauh sekali berjalan kaki.

With a stay at European District Studios in Brussels (Upper Town), you'll be within a 10-minute drive of La Grand Place and Royal Palace of Brussels.

Smart televisions with digital programming provide entertainment, while complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected. Conveniences include desks and separate sitting areas.

We had a nice comfortable month long stay at this Citadines hotel in Brussels. It is located about a 20 minute walk from the Grand Place and near metro, tram and bus stops It is an apartment style hotel with kitchenette. The room we had was bright and spacious. The bed was comfy enough to allow for a good night's sleep. There is a grocery store right around the corner. There was a fair amount amount of noise outside the hotel in the morning. The carpet in the 4th floor of the hotel had an odor to it. But the hotel staff were usually kind and courteous. They even provided us with a fan as there is no temperature control in the room for hot July days. The hotel does provide 24 hour access to the coffee machine in their breakfast room but, if you like milk in your coffee, they are often out of milk. We did not have the hotel's breakfast and so cannot comment on it. Overall, our stay was a pleasant experience and, if in Brussels, we would stay here again.

We really liked the hotel itself and it was all newly renovated and looked good and was tidy, both lobby, stairway/elevator and room. The room was big but with basic interior, like nightstands were stools from Ikea. There was no refrigerator which was inconvenient in the heat. The hotel is rather close to the city center and only takes about 10 minutes to walk to the city center, however the hotel seems to be located in a sketchy neighbourhood and not many tourists in the area. We were recommended by locals to take a taxi/uber back to the hotel during the nights.

Nice I recommend
