Didn’t realize needed to rent towels. 4th floor is really difficult to walk to with heavy bachpack and it was so very hot and loud. Neighborhood felt unwelcoming to tourists compared to other places in Brussels. TV remote was missing batteries and entire power cord was missing. On the bright side desk staff was very kind and helpful and was near train station

So check in went fine. We walked from the Brussels Midi train station. Not a long walk but not easily accessible with luggage due to construction. We received room 111. It was a private room which i had booked. We went up the stairs to the room and I opened the door and went to move in to hold the door for my friend with the suitcase. Immediately inside the door was a flight of stairs that i promptly fell down. I landed on my hip and hit my head on the step going up to the bathroom. My friend screamed, and with staff right down the stairs, no one came to check on the commotion. Thankfully nothing seems to be broken but my head was bleeding. My friend went to ask the staff why there was no warning, and they thought she was saying i fell down the stairs to the room. The front desk clerk finally came up with a first aid kit, and stated she didnt know the room had stairs as she had never seen the room. There is no air circulation in the room unless you open the window which is really a door to another staircase. You could not leave it open as there was traffic up and down it all night. Beware if you get room 111

Easy check in, kind people at the desk. No lift so had to climb 4 floors with luggage but not impossible. Good value for money. Good place to sleep , beds comfortable and clean. Towels provided. Nice toilet and shower, clean and soap provided. No air con. Loud area on the streets a lot of men just lurking about so a bit on edge especially if travelling solo. But overall happy that we stayed here. Close to station and city center. No proper kitchen but free tea and kettle downstairs .

Our family of four stayed one night in this very basic accommodation. Towels only available at extra cost and luggage has to be carried up and down steep, narrow stairs. Not a huge deal for us but could be difficult for some. The room was clean but we needed the windows open for ventilation and cooling. The street outside is extremely noisy with traffic, emergency vehicles and patrons of nearby street patios, making it quite challenging to sleep well. Least favourite accommodation of our three-week trip,

Great except phone attack

Would be 5 stars except my phone was attacked 4 times over the network. Each attack required a hard reset to unlock the phone again. This is a network issue with their network. Stay in airplane mode while at the hostel. If the attack had succeeded I would have lost my phone and bank accounts.

Awkward room access

On this occasion (the second of two stays in ten days), we were allocated a room at the top of the first flight of stairs. It might best be described as awkward, at worst a death trap. There were two steps down into the room immediately upon opening the door, and could easily have fallen while finding the light switch.

Wouldn't stay again

It's definitely in a sketchy feeling part of town. The door to the fire escape in our room was not secure - it would lock, but if you shook the door, it came open. There were people outside that weren't working and were just lingering. Lots of steps and narrow staircase. You have to go outside after you check in to get to the door to go up to your room. The shower doesn't have a door and the water got literally everywhere and with no towels, that was not ideal. The bedspreads were yellowed (you know how down or pillows get yellow as they're laundered or used/old). Definitely would not stay there again.

Cheap stay

You get what you pay for. It’s a 2 star hostel so nothing fancy. We had a private room, but there were issues with a strong sewage/drain smell in the bathroom. The windows don’t seal properly, so every now and then you’ll feel a slight breeze through the room. The beds were actually quite comfortable. Fine for one night, but probably wouldn’t want to stay any longer.

1 night stay only

Hostel had an unpleasant smell as we entered, however the room was satisfactory and the bathroom was quite modern. Staff were helpful, we didn’t interact with them except at check in and check out as that building is separate to the hostel itself however no issues there.
We used this hostel for an over night stay and that was all we would have stayed. The bedding looked very old and worn and some beds had hairs on it.
The location was ok for travelling perhaps, a 20 minute walk into the centre however there was also a metro close by. Wouldn’t say appropriate for females travelling solo or in small groups as it was a very intimidating /dodgy area to be walking around in especially at night.
We found it fine for one night but would reconsider staying elsewhere if we visited Brusses again as the location was off-putting for us.

Main complaint would be the lack of knowing we would be climbing and descending 4 floors in a spiral staircase (81 steps) withiut being informed. There is no elevator available. Upon arrival to the room, it was hot; no AC or fan available. The bathroom is nice, and the staff at the front desk were nice. Glad we at least got a private room out of the deal.

Accueil sympathique H24 et 7j/7j dans cet hôtel situé à 10 minutes de marche de la gare BRUXELLES MIDI et aussi à 10 minutes de marche environ de la Grand Place et du Manneken pis. Toutes les principales visites de BRUXELLES peuvent se faire donc à pied facilement depuis cet hôtel hormis l' ATOMIUM pour lequel vous devrez prendre le métro 6 depuis la gare de BRUXELLES MIDI. Au niveau de la réception, un micro onde et deux bouilloires sont à disposition ainsi que tables et chaises (idéal par exemple pour se faire un petit déjeuner). En revanche, il est à noter que le ménage n'est fait qu'avant votre entrée dans la chambre et pas les jours suivants. Nous avons passé 4 nuits et pas de ménage dans la chambre lors de notre séjour.Dommage. Literie plutôt très mole donc si vous êtes adepte des literies fermes cet établissement n'est pas pour vous, en revanche il est parfait si vous aimez les literies plutôt moles. Le bruit de la rue pourrai gêner les sommeils les plus légers mais rien d'affolant quand même ! Escalier assez raide pour accéder aux chambres. Au global je recommande néanmoins pour l'accueil du personnel et le rapport Qualité/ Prix.rappotchaise.

Aklı olan gelmesin bu otele

Öncelikle odaya girdiğinizde berbat bir koku sizi karşılıyor ve akşama doğru bu koku artıyor. O kadar rahatsız edici bir koku ki epeyce uyuyamadım..
İkinci olarak kirli yoryan ve yastık beni karşıladı... Yorgan idrar kokuyor ve yastıkta bir sürü saç kılı vardı.
Oda herhangi bir şekilde gün ışığı almıyor, apartman boşluğuna bakıyor.
Oda temizlik servisi yapılmıyor, çöpler toplanmıyor.
Ses yalıtımı berbat. Gece geç saatte otele giren çıkan gürültücü insanlar sizi zar zor daldığınız uykunuzdan uyandırıyor.
Kalorifer motorsiklet gibi gürültü çıkarıyor.
Kelimenin tam anlamıyla berbat bir deneyimdi, tüm tatilimi rezil etti. Bir daha asla ama asla buraya gelmem.
