Overall this hotel was going to be average. The good thing going for it is the location but apart from that there is no way that this could be billed as a 4 star hotel. It should be in the 2 star category and then people would not have expectations. Came in for business and I had asked them if... More

It is impossible to fault the location, virtually next door to the central station. It is however possible to fault other things. I stayed 2 weeks and found the flakiest wifi in brussels, plus only one active connection per room, not handy of you have a phone, laptop, kindle etc. If the elevator were any slower, it would have stopped...

Pros: Great location, right near the train station and a few minutes walk from the Grand Palace. Room was clean and fairly updated. Wireless was good, but only allowed on one device at a time. Cons: Shower didn't work, typical sit down French tub showers, which can be a little uncomfortable, but it worked. Told the front desk, they didn't... More

Indeed mot a 4 star hotel! The strong point is the location, just on top "Gare Centrale" metro station! Although rooms are quiet, clean and confortable. It require a deep refurbishment,to take care of small sign and broken things. Breakfast is poor

This is not a 4 star hotel by any stretch of the imagination! Internet does not work anywhere in the hotel. The TV does not work and the toilet seat was broken. It is in a very good location and the breakfast was good. But I won't recommend it if you have another choice.

This hotel is 2 mins walk from the Brussels central train station. Be sure you know where you are going as the train station exits and roads are not well signposted. The hotel is nice, the rooms are average size. The bathroom was a bit of an odd shape. The breakfast was nice and the lady there was very helpful... More

I went to Brussels in February with my wife, and picked the Hotel Centrale for its location, which is superb. It's minutes from Gare Centrale and metro, and close to the all the city centre attractions. If you want a city centre hotel, its ideal, and we had a good two days here. The overall area felt safe, but it... More

Stayed for work. It was ok. Reasonably clean but a bit rough round the edges. Reception good and multilingual. Wifi worked for me but not colleague. Reasonably priced. £80 each I think. Breakfast was ok. Bed was comfy, shower clean. Didn't like the locks, as a female traveller I do like a chain on the door and it wasn possible... More

The concierge was rude. Upon my check in he said I only had one night stay instead of 2. Luckily I had backup showing I paid for 2 nights. When I asked the concierge for locations of some places, he gave me an attitude. I mean what's the point of being a concierge if you're not gonna help people. PLUS... More

What an excellent position this hotel has! Exit the central station metro station by the Rue des Colonies entrance turn left, walk ten metres and there it is.so this hotel is not only great for the metro but also the main line rail and thus the airport. It is in easy walking distance of La Grande Place and all central... More
