Positives: This hotel is in nice location. Negatives: Everything else. There is noise coming from AC vent. When we asked reception they said they can’t do anything about it which is really weird. Again when we asked for second time they gave another room on next day and this time AC is not working. We can’t sleep for our whole trip properly. Even if I get a room at this hotel for free, I won’t go next time

The hotel is closer to the Brussels north train station and is really a shady area full of junkies and so the whole night you hear alot of noise and also police sirens. But the other side of the hotel is a nice location. The hotel is therefore on the border of a shady area. We didnt face any issues but still felt unsafe and filthy at night. The hotel itself was okay for the price but the rooms stink of cigarettes and the bathtub separation leaked and there was water every time on the floor after shower. Overall one can stay here if its for a short duration.
