Hotel berhampiran Mad＇in Europe, Saint-Gilles

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.

We went to Jeux D'Hivers, wich is located in Terkameren Bos, and this was only a 10 minutes walk, which was perfect. The hotel room was nice and clean, the breakfast was great. So overall it was a very nice stay and I will absolutely come back when I have to be in the neighborhood.

Near to Brussel Noord station, everyday cleaning service. Facilities with free entry to sauna and fitness, highly recommend!

The most outstanding feature of the hotel is its location directly opposite the Midi train station. On the day of departure, although the room must be vacated as usual in the morning, you can leave the luggage in extra rooms and use the day unencumbered until shortly before the departure of the train. Also, the general facilities of the hotel can still be used. In addition to cabs, public transport connections are perfect. Otherwise, the immediate surroundings of the hotel very urban, not very attractive and inviting. But this is similar in other cities near the train station and expected. The hotel makes the best of it. The staff at the reception was very friendly and helpful. The room (standard class) was very spacious and had plenty of outlets for electronic equipment. Everything was clean and neatly maintained. The breakfast (extensive buffet) rich and good quality.

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.

Probably the worse experience check-in so far! We arrived early and asked politely to the staff what time is the check-in, this particular staff name Tobe M. was very rude and responded at 3pm. So we went around town and came back at 2:50pm to check-in, this staff was very unfriendly saying it was not 3:00pm yet, eventually he let us in. But overall the check-in experience was such a nigh**are. Breakfast was good though.

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
