The location's awesome if you're there for an event at the Expo or stadium. There's a subway stop right by the hotel entrance. Convenience store and restaurant are also very close. The staff helped me with a tech issue. They're all super friendly and helpful. I loved that the heating was always on full blast, especially since it was freezing outside.
The room's pretty basic, but everything was clean. The only trouble is the shower; you can manage it, but you gotta be careful not to splash water everywhere.
Perfect for short stays

The room was very basic. It almost felt like it was in the process of being painted!! We arrived mid afternoon for a rest before going out and the room was freezing. The heating was not turned on till 6 pm and it produce minimal warmth. The shower was powerful when cold but no pressure when turned to hot. There was no hot water, it was barely warm! The one bedside table felt like it was about to fall off the wall and there was no mirror in the bedroom.
However, at check in, our young assistant at reception was very willing and keen to help with our queries. The hotel is in an excellent location near to public transport. Could be a whole lot better with just a small amount spent to improve its interior.

Basic room at a good price,did the job.

You get what you pay for these days more than ever before.We needed a hotel in the north of Brussels near our destination and we booked the onyx.100 euro,bed only which suited us.the 3 guys we encountered at various times on the desk were excellent,well done lads.Room was on 5 th floor,small and followed the minimalist approach re furniture,the shower was interesting but worked well.The mattresses were excellent and as usual in all hotels I have stayed in of late,the pillows were hard,usually bring my own but messed up this time.Basically we needed a room and we got a basis one but did the job.

The hotel is very clean and the lady who services your room is excellent at her job. New towels each day and room and bed cleaned.
The staff on reception are good too.
My only criticism is that the hotel has a bar and restaurant but it was closed. Whether it’s owned by a separate business I don’t know, but it would have been nice to sit and have something to eat and drink - they are missing out on extra income. However there are excellent restaurants just across the road.
Its location is excellent for getting around on public transport - from the airport you just get the train into Gare de Nord and buses 40,41,45,50 and 60 from the station all stop at the hotel. The hotel sits right on top of Metro station Stuyvenburgh from where you can get to anywhere in Brussels- so no need to drive or pay central prices
Overall excellent value, very close to football ground too

Well… did the job

Room nice and clean but needed some maintenance. Bed surprisingly very comfy. Massive minus is terrible noise from the super busy main road .. specially on Saturday night. Another negative is street parking … pretty much zero chance evening. Took 45 minutes to drive around to find whatever. Restaurant and breakfast really very nice

worst and most deceptive hotel

Stay away from this hotel!
Even though it is one tram stop from the Expo it is in a NOT nice area. The windows would not close properly, very noisy room without heating in a day that was cold, dirty drapes, ugly bathroom and broken elevator in which I was stuck for about five minutes. security wise, the locks to close the door to the room were old style keys which you had to close manually. No in room safety box or security inside chain at the door.
Definitely advertised as almost a four star hotel, it would not even make it to two.

A bit dated but right next to metro

Onyx Lounge is good for its proximity to the metro but it could do with a refresh. I was originally given the wrong room and the room looked a little dated, and some of the sockets looked like they'd been forced into the wall as well as the shower room door looking like its repair had been botched. It was day two when they realised I had the wrong room and they just moved me to the new room and told me I'd been moved when I got in that day. No harm done, I suppose. I understand they had to clean it but it was a shock.

The new room had a better shower room door but the sockets also looked poorly installed. Neither TV worked. There was no remote in the first room and no reception in second.

The beds were comfy enough and the shower warm and spacious. The staff in the hotel were very friendly and most spoke good English.

As I said, the big plus about the hotel was the proximity to the metro. You literally alk out the door and turn a corner. The Atomium is just up the road and some ice parks a short walk away. There's not a lot of shopping in the area though.

It's cheaper than much of Brussels so good if you just want to rest your head.

The staff did not speak English, the rooms smelled horrible due to the bathroom and we could not sleep as the toilet water was running for hours. The elevator was old, small and did not have a door. The location is good if you want to walk to Atomium and Mini Europe and be next to metro station and bus station. I would not stay at this location again.

Op zich en goede plek te overnachten tijdens verblijf in Brussel en ik ga zeker nog meerdere keren gebruiken.- alleen dan vragen voor een kamer aan de achterkant van het hotel. Ik had een kamer met uitzicht op de straat die `s nachts werd vertoverd naar een racing arena en heel veel lawaai van autos en vrachtwagens, politie sirenes.

literie parfaite, propreté parfaite, personnel affable et serviable. Hélas, quand on va à l'hôtel c'est le plus souvent pour y...dormir... Au carrefour de deux voies importantes avec un feu de signalisation, l'hôtel est soumis à un bruit incessant ou presque: jusqu'à 1h30 du matin et ensuite à partir de 5h, ce ne sont que vrombissements de moteurs, coups de freins, klaxons, signaux de recul, vibrations et tremblements dus au passage des trams et des véhicules lourds... Les chambres à front de rue sont donc à proscrire pour qui n'est pas très habitué. Il semblerait qu'il y en ait d'autres, à privilégier donc.

Ik lag aan de voorkant m.a.w. kruispunt: de oude ramen sloten lawaai verkeer (trams, ambulances etc.) en veel tocht NIET uit. Het bed op zich was goed, de lakens voelden fijn aan, de kussens echter veel te dik/niks kwaliteit (bubbelig) en enkel bruikbaar uiteindelijk om tegen de ramen te plaatsen als buffer tegen lawaai/tocht! Uiteindelijk na 2u proberen toch in slaap gevallen, korte nacht!
Bij inchecken gevraagd of er een waterkoker aanwezig was, niet dus. Je kan wel om een haardroger vragen. De TV daar is op vraag iemand om gekomen.
Buiten het goede bed, de nachtkastjes aan de muur bevestigd hingen schots en scheef, dan vraag je je af wie daar mogelijk op gehangen of gezeten heeft, idem sierkussens?
Badkamer: op het eerste zicht proper, met m'n vinger over spoelbak gegaan, duidelijk niet meegenomen tijdens poetsen. Dan kijk je natuurlijk verder, bleek tevens de wc bril niet helemaal netjes (gsm licht gebruikt, sporen van druppels) gelukkig veel toiletrollen, dankbaar gebruik van gemaakt (als \"tussenlaag\"). De instapdouche was top! Wel voorzichtig wezen om niet uit te glijden.
Ontbijt: restje sla/tomaten, wat broodjes/botertjes/confituurtjes, \"geserveerd/-presenteerd op een toog\", ik nam ontbijt om 9.00u gezien m'n planning, de andere tafeltjes van eerdere ontbijters waren NIET afgeruimd. De nachtwacht ontruimde snel nog het tafeltje binnen mijn zicht, lol. Maar vooral deed de locatie/inrichting ontbijt echt vies aan, tacky, back to the 80's, kortom griezelig onderkomen.

Der Empfang war freundlich, die Gänge waren allerdings sehr eng sodass man sich durchquetschen musste. Die Zimmer waren in Ordnung, nur war es sehr warm, laut (obwohl fenster zu), jegliche Steckdosen und Amaturen schief, die Scheibe der Dusche verschmutzt(möglicherweise Kalkablagerungen). Das Fenster konnte man über Nacht nicht auflassen da es einfach viel zu laut draußen war (Bahn und Autos). Wenn die Stadtbahn vorbei fährt dann spürt man das manchmal indem alles dann im Zimmer vibriert. Das Frühstück war in Ordnung, ein heißes Getränk, Orangensaft, Wurst, Käse, Salat, Tomaten mit Mozzarella, 2 kleine Brötchen, 1 Buttercrossaint, 1 Schokocrossaint, Marmelade und Butter waren da. Für Geräuschempfindliche Menschen kann ich das Hotel also nicht ganz empfehlen.

La porte de la salle de bain colle quasiment au lit. Pas de place pour entrer dedans.

Sejour horrible,non oubliable,entre moustique d un part, et un comportement etrange de la part du responsable de l hotel d autre part ,j ai passer le plus desagreable sejour dans un hotel comme dans les films d horreur!!!!
La nuit du samedi j avais pris ma douche, en sortant et en regardant mes cheveux dans la miroire de la salle de bain,j etais obliger d enlever la vapeur doucement avec la serviette et la surprise!!!!!la miroire qui pese 5 ou 6 kg tombe juste a cote de mes pieds,et se casse!!!!! J au fallu etre hospitaliser pour hemoragie!!!!!l LA SURPRISE :::c etais le comportement du responsable de l hotel,apres 30 minutes de discution par telephone,il n a rien dit que:
Monsieur il faut payer 120 euro,vous avez signer qu il faut rien toucher dans la chambre!!!!!,l hemorragie! L hospitalisation,la nuit horrible ce n est rien, l important c est les 120 euro
Vraiment j etais surpris de cet etrange comportement qui a ecarter toute responsabilite de la mal fixation du miroire, et seul chose qui lui interesse c est les 120 euro, toujours en disant j avais parler avec le proprietaire de l hotel
