We loved our stay at Hotel Agora!
The staff were so friendly and helpful. We got great restaurant recommendations, help with our bags and a friendly greeting everytime we came and went.
The building is old with a lot of character. We had big windows opening on to the square and loved hearing the buzz of the city until we closed things up for the night.
There was no air conditioning but they supplied 3 fans which helped in the hot weather.
The room was clean and the beds comfortable. The unique building had some low ceiling in areas so anyone over 6 feet tall needed to duck in parts of the room.
The location was great for walking to all the major sites we wanted to see and accessing the train station. There was also a laundromat a few doors down which came in handy.
Highly recommend and would stay again.

Beautiful hotel in the heart of city center. Staff was amazing! We got there before our room was ready, but were able to drop our bags. When we came back, the staff had already taken our bags to our room for us (no small task as there is no elevator and LOTS of stairs). Very helpful woman at the front desk and later a young man who helped us arrange a taxi for the next morning. I would DEFINITELY stay here again!

We stayed in a family room in June 2026. The location was perfect. Exit the station on the Hilton Hotel side, cross the street, and walk for about 2–3 minutes. The hotel is on the left-hand side.
The hotel has been nicely renovated. The mattress was very comfortable, and complimentary bottled water was provided in the room, which we appreciated.
The bathroom has only an all-in-one hair and body wash provided.
The loft area was nice and clean, but it could get warm. Also, the stairs to the loft are narrow, so I would recommend bringing smaller suitcases if possible.
All of the staff were very kind and helpful. We were able to borrow an umbrella during our stay. There is also a coin laundry just a few steps away from the hotel.

Fantastic location between the Brussels Central train station and the Grand Place, both just steps away - in the heart of the main tourist area, full of shops and restaurants. Lots of stairs up to the first floor where the elevator was located but the most helpful staff carried my heavy bag both up and down with a smile. Being in an historic building, the room is awkwardly shaped but the bed was comfortable and the shower had good pressure and plenty of hot water. They even gave us free bottled water every day. The staff was cheerful and helpful and made us feel welcome. We hope to stay there again on our next visit to Brussels.

The hotel is located centrally in the heart of the Grand Place, a moment's walk to practically everything! The staff was incredibly nice and held our luggage until our room was ready, and also when we checked out and had some time before our train.

We stayed in family room #12. As noted in other reviews, the building is old and the ceilings can be low. In this specific room, the bathroom was in the low ceiling area, however the head space for the shower was extended. The shower was quite small, and had an interesting flooring.

Overall, the stay was nice, the location definitely made this stay very much worth the shorter ceilings.

This hotel was unfortunately pretty dirty and there was actually a spider on the bed underneath the sheets. Dust was everywhere, curtains were stained.

I chose this hotel because of its proximity to the train station. I was arriving late and I was worried despite the fact the hotel is accross the street from the station plaza. My worry was unnecessary since the plaza was alive, full of young people. Breakfast was good and plentiful, and one of the servers, Carolina, was very attentive and sweet. I did not care much for the shower dispensing liquid: one bottle that is both shampoo and body wash.

Hotel is in a great location, right at heart of Brussels, there is public parking close by, EUR 28 per night. The receptionist is very good. Couple of things: we got 2 rooms and it was on 4th floor, the spiral steps 3rd-4th floors (no elevator) are very steep and challenging to handle luggage but the receptionist offered to help. 4th floor is top floor and it was very hot, fan did some help but not enough, they should serious consider to provide some cooling on top floor.

Ok for the money.

The location of the hotel is great, being central to the city makes accessing local areas and the metro system great. However it comes with all the noise and constant distraction through the night.
The hotel rooms were acceptable, however both of the rooms we rented had reduced headroom in the main room and bathroom as well as the mezzanine.
Bottled water and fans were complimentary but very dusty as was the room in general. Also, with no fridge it was impossible to keep anything cool.
