Cari Hotel 4-Star di Brussels

It was okay, the front desk weren’t the most helpful. Upon arrival I was told to pay a €50 deposit which could only be paid on a credit card or cash. When I then said I’ll have to go find somewhere to withdraw money I was told I can now use my debit card. Upon leaving they wouldn’t give me my deposit back via card and insisted on cash despite explaining I was leaving the country to which the front desk attendant said I can’t claim I wasn’t given a refund which felt like a motivated statement.  The room was okay, however the heating didn’t work properly and during a cold winter it wasn’t nice. There was a view from outside the window but not as nice as the booking page displayed it. Overall it was a fine hotel to stay at for one night however I would not be inclined to stay longer, next time I travel I will make note to avoid it.

Check-in is 3pm and we arrived at 3pm but the room was only ready at almost 4pm. The story was that it was cleaned already but ”awaiting inspection”. We were handed 2 bar coupons with a blithe apology in rapid fire French for our 50 min wait. The vacuuming in the room left much to be desired. When we got into the room on the 1st day, there was a pistachio at the side of the bed. My sister's dust allergy was triggered throughout our 4 day stay. When we opted for housekeeping on the 3rd of the 4 days we stayed, the same pistachio remained there after the cleaning staff were done. Towels and bed linens were refreshed but the coffee/tea and bathroom amenities were not. If you choose the Deluxe twin room like we did, please note that the room is 24 metre square and there is only room to open up one medium sized suitcase on the ground. Our other suitcase had to be accessed via the wardrobe which was spacious enough to keep the 2nd suitcase in. Location wise, it's ideal and a stone's throw from Grand Place - the historic city centre, and many shops and good brasseries. It's a 10 min uphill walk from the hotel to the nearest train station called Brussel Centraal / Bruxelles-Midi which will bring you straight to the Brussels Airport in 17 min on the direct train (1st class carriage €12.10). The buffet breakfast is plentiful and of good quality (with eggs cooked to order) in a nice space with a courtyard view crewed by pleasant staff fluent in English. The bar has a relaxing ambience with an outdoor view and affordable drinks. My guide is always how much the increasingly rare digestif liqueur Chartreuse Verte costs. It was €14 per pour. Note : You get a free coupon for a soft drink/coffee/beer/wine if you pass up on room cleaning. If you have a short stay, you should as there wasn't much cleaning done.

I really feel good and love staying at Novotel Grand Place,Brussels. Belgium was the first stop on my trip this time. The warm welcome from the Novotel staff made me feel safe and happy. The room was clean and comfortable—though not very big for the four of us, it was still spacious and well-arranged, with the added bonus of a bathtub. Breakfast was great, and I was pleasantly surprised to find a ‘Halal Food’ section, which made it easier for us as Muslims to enjoy the meal. A recommended hotel—I would definitely stay here again in the future.

Here’s I traveled to Brussels with my family, and I must say it was one of the best locations we could have chosen. We explored not only Brussels but other cities in Belgium as well. Even when it rained, it was very convenient to simply cross the road and find a train or metro station nearby. The amenities and room service were also great. The room was clean and included a kettle, tea, and instant coffee.

Wins because of location. Once exiting central station, its a 30m walk to the hotel. Very convenient as it avoids needing to lug luggage across town, with the slopes and cobblestones and also saves taxi fare. Booked this to stay the night as we were going to the airport the next morning. Lobby, reception was good, room ambience was ok only. There is a mini convenience store within the hotel, with self service checkout that may be useful for some guests who arrive late. Shoe shine available on level 1. Excellent gym. 24H Gym is new, clean smelling, towels and sanitiser provided with mood lighting you can choose, and 2 treadmills that face the central station. Room view was of central station. Space adequate to open up luggages. 2 twin beds were placed quite close together. Bedding clean, fridge was cold, kettle available. Toilet had a bathtub, no separate shower area. Water pressure good. Marble tiles are nice, but have some yellow stains after years of use, toilet still clean. Crabtree toiletries. After running sink water for a while, it became very hot. And it could not be adjusted. Informed reception and they sent someone up but he couldn't help as well and asked us to use the bath tub spout instead. Not sure how this can be resolved.

Excellent location as we travel on the Eurostar, the hotel is literally at the station. Room was overall clean apart from one hair found on the ledge of the bath tub. The hot water on the first night was only like warm and gradually got colder. Hotel staff were nice, helpful and friendly.

Very helpful staff at the reception. We came from the Philippines and travelled 30 hrs. We arrived too early, way ahead of the check in time, but the receptionist, understanding that we were tired, allowed us to check in after she went up to check if the room was clear. 👌

Hilton Garden Inn Brussels City Centre features quiet surroundings and spot‑clean rooms with thoughtful service. It delivers great value for money.👍👍👍👍👍👍

So much potential let down by poor management. We’ve stayed in over 200 hotels, and this is the first to charge a fee for a baby cot/crib (at €35!). This was requested to be placed in our room at arrival. We arrived at 1pm and after chasing relentlessly, the only placed it in our room at 9pm. Staff are very rude too. Mentioned nothing about WiFi, breakfast, location of room. Just throw a key at you without a smile and turn away.

This was by far the worst hotel experience we've ever had. The hotel has no reception and, to this moment, has not provided any check-in instructions. We arrived in the evening around 8pm, after an international flight, with our 3-year-old child—only to find ourselves locked out, unable to access the building. No instructions had been sent whatsoever. Thankfully, some other hotel guests happened to arrive and kindly let us into the hallway. We tried calling the emergency number provided, but it only offered an automated message saying replies would take up to 24 hours—by which time we would already have left. We couldn’t access our room key until another guest, using her own instructions and code, managed to open the key safe and retrieve our key for us. Absolute nightmare. The room itself was ok—equipped with a fridge, some basic glassware, and a small TV. However, there was no coffee provided, so we had to purchase our own. Only two small bath towels were provided.
