All round excellent stay courtesy of this hotel. Staff were helpful and friendly in the extreme.Facilities were above average and location superb; right beside metro and train station. Could not ask for better and will return first opportunity.

Stay - 3 nights / 2 days.

Location – It is just up the hill from the main train station, and a 10 minute walk to the Town Hall and the main square.

Room – It was a big room but a bit dark and run down. We faced out onto a side street that had construction work going on opposite. Didn’t hear the noise though with windows closed.

Food – They only serve breakfast – a simple setup, cereal and cold meats/cheese with a small selection of hot foods if you get there earlier enough.

Staff – Front desk staff only. Our only dealing with one of the staff was to find a shoe repairer (Mister Minit), a post office and somewhere to get a haircut. The information she gave us was accurate and correct.

Overall – The hotel suited our short stay in Brussels, not much time spent at the hotel, most of it was spent out site seeing. If this is all you need in a hotel then this place is fine, if you are looking for something that pampers you a little more, then look elsewhere.

Husband, 2.5 year old and me stayed here for 2 nights in late Oct 2007.

The hotel is your average hotel. It's definitely showing its age. But we thought it was a good value at room rate of 130 euro per nite (breakfast included). We got a junior suite: queen size bed and a seating area. The room was spacious enough. The stay was smooth. The location was very close to the cathedral and next door to the Gare du Midi station. Grand Place etc is 10 mins walk away.

We had nothing to complain about except that they put out this very strong smelling air freshener throughout the hotel. Thankfully not in the room, but in the hallways.

Good room rate and convenient location (right next to the station). Breakfasts are reasonable. Free use of the internet in the lobby. There can be quite a bit of noise from the street during the night if you have the window open. Rooms and corridors could do with a bit of redecoration/modernisation. I prefer the other Hesperia hotel in Brussels (Hesperia Sablon).
