Arrived at this hotel - as the hotel I had booked was unable to accommodate us, so transferred us to this '3 star' just down the road. Below is my 20 minute experience - and a few photos!

Ok, its in a grotty end of town - not the hotel's fault, and from the outside its actually not the biggest dump - but inside tells a whole different story. It's not a very well lit street, and had I stayed here I would not have liked to walk around here at night, and there was a fair bit of cat calling when we stayed at a hotel down the road.

You are greeted by an overwhelming smell of incense when you walk in the door. Strong, like really really strong!! The reception is a drab shabby corner on the ground floor. While waiting for reception another guest arrived down in turban and pjs and had a full on chinwag with the guy at the desk. Not the worst experience ever but a bit strange!! After a bit of confusion it was agreed that I should not pay (given hotel 1 had already debited my card), and we were handed a key, and a remote. There's a big sign downstairs advising you not to leave anything in the room of value! So, not off to a great start we took the highly perilous lift to floor 4. The lift, which unfortunately I did not photograph, was like something from the inner workings of a coal mine, with less health and safety. We got to floor 4, and before we got off were transported to floor 2 - where a very surprised man was waiting! He did not join us (despite the boasts of the lift being able to hold 4, and we set off again). When we got to the room it STANK of cigarette smoke, and looked really creepy. The carpet was so dark and treacherous looking that one daren't have walked on it bare foot. The dim lighting from the overhead lamp was not in adding to the atmopshere, and instead enhanced the ambiance of gloom and despair. The old, and shabby (and not in a shabby-chic way) furniture and bed clothes were so disgusting I didn't even dare to sit on the bed. There was thankfully reasonable wifi - which I used to book myself and my poor traumatised mother - who was barely holding herself upright due to the shock - a stay in the Novotel down the road.

As we trudged back to reception to return our key, and seek a refund from the hotel that actually took our money we were met by repair men in the corridor who kindly held open the lift.

Getting a refund is currently proving challenging, but not the fault of this hotel. In fact the man we dealt with was friendly, and not surprised that we were not happy either.

I realise this review may not fully depict the absolute squalor of this hotel, or might portray me as some sort of hotel snob - but do not think that!! The hotel is DISGUSTING, and I love budget hotels and private rooms in hostels - but this was just too much for me to take. The thoughts of having to change, take off my clothes or lie on those disgusting old man lumpy beds, with their (clearly invested after reading the other reviews) disgusting quilt covers, get some sort of terminal lung disease from the stench of second hand smoke, and more than likely get robbed in my sleep while taking my life in my hands using their lift just meant that I could NOT stay here - EVER with or without my mother!

I have stayed in many budget hotels around the world inc. America, Europe & the far East so I have considerable experience of what to expect. I review objectively and will often find a hotel to be very nice where others have given poor reviews.

THIS PLACE IS HORRIBLE!! Cramped, old, dirty. I've stayed in much nicer hotels for a lot less than the 63 euros this dump cost.

I refused the first room due to the dirty stained bed sheets. (see pic)
Room smelt heavily of smoke despite having a smoke detector on the ceiling. Curtain not wide enough to cover the window. Dirty marks on the wall paper. 2 bulbs not working in the main light. Light over the bed did not work. Wardrobe door hanging off. Full flow on the bathroom tap was barely a trickle. I didn't even risk a shower. (home next day). Had to return to reception to ask for a tv remote.
Landing carpets dirty and stained.

Use the dodgy lift at your own risk. No sign of a service notice.

If it had not been 9pm+ when I checked in I don't think I would have stayed. I would have booked somewhere else through the same online booking agent & taken it up with them after. However for budget accommodation with walking distance of midi station the choice is limited. This seems to be a middle eastern dominated area with a lot of men furtively hanging around in dark doorways.

I would not stay here again. The place needs completely stripping out and updating.

Arriving at the hotel I could not find the entrance which was through the restaurant at the front of the building. Seeing the room I was dissapointed by the size and the condition of the fixtures and furnishing. The closet did not have any hangers and the door was lopsided. But the big problem was that there were BED BUGS. They moved me to another room but the problem did not go away and on top of that the bathroom was leaking and in the morning the floor was full of water.

I advise you to not use this hotel.

I was in Brussels in June this year, to catch an onward train to Berlin. Walking up Avenue Stalingrad, was a bit of a shock. Lots of men from North Africa, sat outside cafes and smoked hookah pipes. Women with heads covered, walked the streets. The area was shifty and noisy. My view of a halal butchers from the window, will not be forgotten. Is this Belgium, i kept asking myself. Even though the hotel is close to the station, it has a lot of negatives. The whole place rattles alarmingly, as trains go by. The internet only just worked. The security was bad (there was a warning to put your valuables in reception) . it was unclean, with threadbare carpets and mysterious stains on the ceiling. The owner said ` the breakfast is good for 6 Euros`. It consisted of cheap meat, tasteless, rubber cheese, hard bread and cold tea and coffee. I have done better but not worse. Do not waste your money and stay here. It is 1000%, not worth it.

Room tip: It would be impossible, to give a tip.

This is probably the worst hotel experience ever. This was booked late, and therefore with minimal (none) research done, but close to one of the train stations. The reception is rude; they will try to get money in advance from you, and they will try to ignore internet bookings, since they are relatively cheaper. The rooms are dirty, and the owner sells out cheap accommodation to illegal workers that stay in the attic, I slept on 3 floor, so I heard them, and also saw the owner rushing them out in the early morning.

Room tip: Book elsewhere.
