The reception is a little tacky and doesn’t give you the best first impression but the rooms are nice and clean and very very spacious. I asked for a wheelchair accessible room and it did fulfill the expectations. The bathroom is very spacious and it has a roll in shower which is very nice. We only stayed there one night because we were passing through and we needed something close to the train station. it is walking distance from the train station. Not much around but you can always go back to the train station to get something to eat or anything you need.

Towels stained and not soft, bathroom a jut dirty. Towel rail very loose and flimsy. Room smelled like old cigarette ash. Walls paper-thin so we couldn't sleep (our neighbours were very \"active\" in their bed through to the early hours!).

This is not an AI review. 100% human. The room was seemingly ok. Check in was fine. Room looked okay we relaxed in it until 2 beg bugs crept up on the pillow I rested my head on.

Overnight front desk associate gave us a new room. Of course, we would take apart the sheets and check the mattress in the new room. No bed bugs. Fine. The mattress protector was severely stained red and yellow. The mattress also stained. We slept on the floor that night because there were no other rooms. We checked out 2 days earlier than intended

Pros:

Cons:
-thin walls you can hear the people across the hall at night and next door.
-bathroom towels had orange stains
-one thin pillow per person
-only one key card allowed

Note: There is no A/C or mini fridge (I later confirmed it was not advertised)

This is the dirtiest hotel I have ever stayed at. The rooms do not reflect the pictures that are online. The staff listened to my complaints but took no action to rectify the issues. Only one light in my room worked, there was hair on the restroom sink that did not belong to me that was not cleaned throughout the entire duration of my stay. The bed was not made each day. I asked for the sheets to be changed and my request was ignored. The floor was not cleaned a single time and the trash was not changed daily. The wall had several chips of paint missing and the WiFi connection was extremely poor.

Problems with reservation. They tried to charge us twice and they said that it was our problem and that we should contact expedia to fix it. To be honest, we should do it. Actually, they charged twice to my colleague, and I refused to present my credit card as I already paid.
Not very pleasant to see that expedia charged 40 euros more than the amount we paid for the room :)

Scary bathroom and room.
Burnt marks of people in the sofa. Tobacco smell in the room.

We arrived at the hotel in the morning to leave our luggage however it was too early to check in. The receptionist was very nice and spoke several languages. Our surprise was that when we checked in in the evening and went up to the room we noticed that the bathroom was flooded. I went downstairs to ask for a solution. The guy with very broken English couldn't give me a solution or a quick fix until the technician could come the next day. I had to tell him to give me a mop or towels so we could dry the floor ourselves. In the morning we reminded the other receptionist about the problem but we got back to the room the bathroom was flooded again. That night there was another receptionist, which I had to manage to speak with him in French, despite my French is not good enough for that purpose. And again, using towels to dry it out. But the day after didn't get better because no one came to even collect the wet towels... also, mentioning that no one is watching the place where we left our luggage before checking in or after checking out.

Big problem was that at 7.30am on a Sunday morning they decided to call in the plumber for the room next door to ours and they wake us up after making noise for more than an hour. I had to go back to reception (as the phone from the room didn't work with number 0 or 9, and there was no information of the right number to call reception) and ask the receptionist to make them stop. She did not even apologized! Terrible service. I am not going back again.

An underated near station hotel

Although this hotel is only 10 minutes walking from the Euro Tunnel terminal it took us over an hour due to the shockingly bad site directions. The main problem is that \" Rue de France\" is not visible any where in the dark and it is impossible to figure out where South or East is. Instructions should be changed to say \" turn left out of the euro terminal doors, walk through to the end of the shopping corridor of Staton Midi, left onto the street pavement and contunue in that direction for 5 minutes. The hotel will be seen on the road junction to your right\"
The hotel has everthing needed for a breif stay including a bar, but seems to be in staff transistion.

This hotel is very good and with very good staff, especially the gentleman who always wear a hat, praise to him, he was the only smiley and most welcoming staff who didnt sound rude, unlike the others who doesn't greet you when they see you, and rather be on their phones, but overall I loved the hostels. The hostel is very close to the main station which was the pro, but the con was the area itself whcih wasn't really safe to go out at night time by yourself (especially if you're a girl) or didnt really feel welcoming but that's not that hotel's fault, just sadly theyre in one of the areas you have to weary of, as one of the student told me who stayed in hostel too that the area is one of the ones you need to be alert, but your fine as long as your in a group.

Ok but not amazing

Wifi stopped working and when we asked reception to fix it she said we had to wait for her colleague as she didnt know what to do. They never bothered fixing it as it was still down the next morning when we checked out. The room was a good size and on the same street as where the coach buses drop you from other cities so very convenient. There were no block out curtains so it was extremely bright early in the morning and the pillows felt like cement so we both woke up with very sore necks.

Simple and convenient, you get what you pay for.

This hotel is very basic and good for short stays. I chose this hotel for the cheap price & the proximity to the train station which is one block away. The walls are thin & sounds carry. I did have to sleep with my noise cancelling headphones to muffle out the sounds of other guests but overall you get what you pay for. They provide you with all you need but I wouldn't recommend staying here for more than a couple of nights, even if your going to be out sightseeing, eventually you would like to come back and relax at your hotel. This place is not for relaxation but perfect for a place to keep your belongings & shower.

I chose this hotel for its close proximity to the Brussels Midi train station and the Charleroi Suid airport shuttle - both located within 5 minutes walk from hotel. The hotel was clean and comfortable but the elevator did not always work and the main corridor light was off every time I opened my door to go out. It came on as soon as I stepped out of my room so not sure if it was on a motion sensor. Can't see why it should be. Also, every time someone opened or shut a door, I heard it. The corridors should have carpeting or ceramic tiles instead of laminate floors as that was also very noisy when walked on.
