Very close to the train station, so convenient if you are traveling via the train. (no car parking). Around the hotel is not exactly a tourist location and somewhat run down area and possibly dangerous at night. However transportation is close by so it was convenient. We walked back to train station to visit Atomium from there.

Great hotel. The only reason I deducted a star is that the doors are very thin and you hear everything in the hallway, which is not good when a rowdy group is talking loudly and going in and out of their room all night.

This is rather a nice hotel, clean and comfortable everything you could ask for. It is convenient to the Midi train station. This is part of the problem though. This is not a very nice area of Brussels. The hotel can't do anything about this and we were okay with it as once we got into the hotel we were safe and comfortable. Now the issue. On Friday May 23rd our second day in Brussels I was robbed of my gold chain in a typical blitz type of street robbery. This happened a short distance from the hotel. I can't blame the hotel for this these things happen. I was bleeding from a couple of minor scrapes having been assaulted during the robbery. I asked the front desk personnel to call for the police so I could report the robbery.The girl on the desk phoned someone and had a conversation. She advised me that it might take some time and maybe I should go to the police station. I was not to keen on that idea and said I would wait for the police. This was approx. 4:00pm At 6:00pm I decided that waiting was ridiculous. I was told the closest police station was at the Midi station. I walked down there to report the robbery. Turns out these Police were Railway police and didn't deal with regular crimes in the city. I was then directed to the appropriate location. Police were very thorough with their investigation BUT the officer checked and at no point did the Brussels Police EVER receive a call from the hotel. This is very sad and unforgivable customer service!

The room was clean and nicely decorated - it does look just like the photos. Comfy beds (even the sofa bed in our family room) and decent shower. Nice touch of having a Belgian sweet for each of us when we arrived. We didn’t need a lot of interaction with the staff but the guy who checked us in was helpful. We didn’t have breakfast so can’t comment on that.

The only real downside was the location. It was convenient for the Gare du Midi and for walking into the historic centre (about 20 mins) BUT it was rough and didn’t feel that safe. We did not want to leave the hotel in the evening, especially as we were with our two young children, due to feeling unsafe and dodgy characters around. We did eat in the BarBQ restaurant on the same square twice and would recommend that.

Urban Yard Hotel is a great choice if you’re arriving via Brussels Midi – it’s just a short walk away and very easy to find. The hotel itself was spotlessly clean, and the staff were super friendly and welcoming throughout my stay.

The room was a decent size, with a comfortable bed and a nice touch: a coffee machine. While the breakfast was quite average in terms of variety and quality, it’s an optional extra, so not a dealbreaker if you prefer to eat out.

Overall, I had a very pleasant experience and would definitely stay here again.

The hotel is beautifully presented. Good sized, comfy rooms & great bathrooms. Room had a coffee making machine but no milk & one creamer. When we asked for more we were told they had run out of milk. On the second day we asked for more coffee pods but there was still no milk. On the 3rd day we were told we had to pay for replacements when we questioned this they said the first day was just like a welcome gift. Maybe if you don’t decline the daily turn down service like we did you may get these refilled. The rubbish outside is a shame & security on the door a little unsettling when you arrive.

Overall the property was very comfortable and clean. My group enjoyed the stay. The staff were professional and helpful.

I appreciated the small touches like the Belgian candies (“Cuberdon”) that were left for us in the room.

The bathroom was very clean and the room had a nice and functional design. They store luggage for you which is very convenient but you put the luggage inside the room yourself which in my opinion is not very secure. Then they give you a bag check ticket. The hotel is small and has a small elevator. There was a coffee machine in the room and a few teas (but no kettle so I think you need to request that from the front desk).

The area surrounding the hotel does not seem very safe especially at night. I never went back to the hotel particularly late but it just has an unsafe vibe unfortunately. It’s the area next to the train station (Brussels Midi station). Being that close to the station was very convenient however, for catching IC trains as well as the Eurostar)

We had a fire drill happening and the staff acted that they didn’t know what to do and how to co-ordinate and evacuate the guests. The room siren was super loud and annoying. It appeared that they have those fire drills very frequently on the weekly basis or something may be wrong with the building and they don’t tell the guests. After check in and upon arriving in the room we found two pairs of new (sealed) ear plugs on the bedside stands and we were wondering what’s that all about. Front desk never advised us about it. Sure enough we experienced the nightmare. I still have ear tinnitus from the sirens loud noise. If they would have disclosed the issue upfront then I would had definitely not stayed at this hotel. And after all we received no apology or acknowledgment of any kind of the unpleasant situation they created.
