Rough start , I was given a twin room when I arrive instead of double room . I was put to an extension building outside the hotel . Next day I spoke to the Asian lady ( general manager) the most unhelpful manager I’ve meet . Never listen to me and she needed a customer service training - smile atleast and listen .

Nice hotel but manager is a let down .

We stayed in an 'annex' across the road from the main hotel. Whilst the entrance to the annex felt very uninviting, the room itself was perfectly acceptable. We had booked for 3 adults - there was a double bed, a single bed, and a sofa bed, with a kitchenette, air conditioning and a small outside area which suited the one of us who is a smoker! The air conditioning was very welcome because there was a heatwave, nearing 40C. The staff were very pleasant. Breakfast was adequate if not too elaborate. Would recommend and would stay there again. The location was good.

Great location, easily walkable to many sites. Nice, vibrant restaurant downstairs.
Loved the hotel dark blue walls and colors.
Overall, good. We would stay there again.
The 1st floor communal coffee machine was not in working and this was disappointing. There are coffee pods in the room, but no takeaway cups. The bathroom needed more shelf space for toiletries and needed ventilation.

The ladies at the front desk were so nice and helpful but could definitely use another pair of hands to help them. I was so tired from travel that Ileft my passport at the checkin desk and they discreetly returned it. The breakfast was delicious with lots of hot options which was very nice. We stayed on the family room side and the space was big for us. The elevator was down when we got there but a very sweet man helped us carry the luggage. There are some steps but nothing outrageous. We got a room with a balcony to the street and its amazing to see the city come to life at night. I was worried that I wasn't going to be able to sleep but no noise made into the room. Its also ideally situated and within walking distance from the train, busses and lots of food options. I hope I get a chance to return. ❤️

The room was very dated. The shower did not drain at all which meant that I couldn’t take more than a two minute shower before water starts splashing out on the floor. The coffee machine did not work and it was capsules or pods which is disgusting. The front desk people were not very polite or helpful. The one guy was kind of friendly but when I told the front desk about the shower not draining they did not care. This is not good. The room is very small and it opens onto our roof so I can’t keep the window open without being afraid that people are gonna come in and jump on me in the middle of the night because there were people out there smoking weed until 1 am making a lot of noise so lovely place

A lovely hotel but despite booking 5 months early the twin room we requested was unavailable. Also, the hotel was fully booked so we were sent to another of their properties across the road. It was serviced by very steep stairs - no lift and we were two flights up. We would not have been able to get our luggage up the steep narrow stairs if the reception guy hadn’t helped. Checking out was really difficult navigating our luggage down the stairs. We had breakfast included but only went the first day because we felt we could do better somewhere else and we saw the waiter using his hands to refill the hash browns and then eat directly from breakfast buffet (berries). I don't think we saw the best of the hotel.

I absolutely loved this hotel. I checked in on October 25, 2025. I wasn’t able to check in early, but the staff was able to store my luggage while I walked around and waited for my room to be ready. The bed was incredibly comfortable. I slept like a baby. The rooms are decorated in this gorgeous blue color scheme. I love the art on the walls and the wallpaper, the attention to detail is noticeable and admirable. I came back after staying in Antwerp for a few days and checked in on Thursday, October 30 and slept here for two more nights. I experienced both a single room and a double room during my time, both rooms were fantastic, though for more than one person, I would recommend a double room. I was traveling solo so a single worked well for me and I just had extra space in the double room. If I ever found myself in Brussels again, I would absolutely stay at the Craves Hotel. I kind of want it to be at my home away from home.

A great hotel in the centre. Intriguing layout, decoration, secret passages and rooms (if you're nosy enough), and very quiet at night. Would definitely go back, but probably won't, because Brussels itself is a disappointing, confused and uninspiring mess. That said, if you're there because you have to be, then Craves will not disappoint! And the staff were superb.

I loved the location of the property and the ease of checking in. It would be good to have a full length mirror in a position in the room where you can see the entire body to help getting dressed. The current mirrors are placed in a part of the room where you can not see yourself. Also, the key card access point is hard to find when entering the room due to complete darkness. A small fluorescent light would help. There were spider webs in multiple locations around the room including the bathroom above the towel rack.

I did not like that the hotel Craves fire alarm was activated in the middle of the time I was falling sleep around 2:30a on the 19th of September so we evácuated the hotel and waited outside for a very long time and it was cold and finally we were told that it was a false alarm but the alarm was on until 6:30a or 7:00a. I had a city tour the next day and I needed to be there at 8:00a and I did not sleep at all. I requested a one night Refund and the agent at the desk offered me a breakfast that I could not take since my nice and I were leaving to the Brussel Air port very early. The agent at the desk said that he would pass the request I asked for one night Refund to his manager and that expidia would contacto me.

It is also very central to Brussels and all the sights etc.
The one issue we had was that our room looked out onto the street and it was extremely noisy - there was a big party out on the street the first night we stayed which went on until well after 3am and we could not sleep despite the ear plugs the hotel kindly provided and having the windows shut. The second night the noise was much less and we slept ok but when you stay here - the hotel is otherwise nice - we strongly recommend requesting a room looking into the interior.

Craves was convenient to the train station. Walking with a roller-bag on the chunky rounded cobblestone of Belgium can be a workout if you have tendon issues. It was convenient to seeing the sights. The room was clean and comfortable and there was a big window in the bathroom, so it was bright (Bathrooms often have no window). Main complaint is the hallways were excessively dark -- enpough that it was hard to see. Staff was helpful enought when asked questions but not particularly warm and friendly. Coffee is at a central location near the elevator of each floor, not in the room. I was happy with my stay but it wasn't exceptional.

A pleasant stay at Craves.

We enjoyed our stay at Craves. The room accommodated our family of four. There was a large bed in a separate bedroom and a large pull out couch in the living room. The room showed a bit of wear though. A dining area with a kitchenette came in handy. The family suites are located actually across the street from the hotel in a historic building. The lift begins on the second floor so we had to carry our luggage up a flight of stairs. The hotel is located on a car free street so the taxi let us off two streets away. There are plenty of shops and restaurants right outside the hotel.

The main part of the hotel seemed lovely. The bar and decor was very nice. We were however really disappointed to not actually be staying in the main hotel, but an annex over the road, which we didn’t even realise was an option. The room was accessible only by very steep stairs. The room was again nicely presented but tiny.
Felt it wasn’t worth the money we paid for it if I’m honest. Staff seemed nice enough but being in the annex we only saw them at check in.

The location was the best thing about the hotel, especially for the Christmas market.

The bed was comfy and the room was spacious and it had a good shower. Although we didn't eat at the restaurant it was incredibly popular (with locals as well!) and the food looked delicious.
The location is really perfect for all the central attractions but there is a word of caution here....this also means that it can be a bit noisy. If you are a light sleeper then maybe this is not the place for you.

No smoke detectors in the family room. No fire extinguishers in the corridors. General maintenance below par. A stacked away fire extinguisher spotted at the back of a utility closed. Common areas of the main building look good (if you don't mind a very unpleasant light color in the bar and restaurant area - emergency rooms have a warmer atmosphere), but that's about it. Wouldn't recommend for anything else than the location IF you want to be that much in central downtown.
