First of all the location was amazing considering the price. Affordable place and worth staying for a few days. The room was quite small for 3 beds but it was okay enough. Bathroom was good with everything that's needed in it. Staff at the reception on the other side didn't really understand English and was not easy to communicate with.

I visited Brussels for a work event. This hotel was really appropriate. Really well located just about Rogier metro. Hotel is not new but everything seems well taken care of and comfortable. Very nice staff. Always available with solutions. Big breakfast offer for a 3 star.

I work with tour groups and see different hotels. But I did not hesitate to say that this is the worst hotel I have stayed in with groups. During the 3 nights that I was in it - my clients were flooded from above, the electricity went out several times, and on the day of departure from the hotel the elevator broke down. My clients in their 70s had to carry their suitcases down from the 5th floor. Shame and shame. I am fully responsible for my words because I have 39 witnesses, most of whom stay in this "hotel" caused trouble instead of rest.In addition, terrible powdered coffee and overly sweet chemical juice.I got used to a lot and traveled all over the world. And I never criticize hotels. But everyone should know this nightmare.

We booked several rooms for a group and in general the hotel and the rooms looked amazing but sadly that was just the looks. The beds are way too soft, the lights are not working properly: you cannot turn on the lights in the bathroom if the lights in the room are not on. Plus the lights turn on and off whenever they like and without any reason. Sometimes you cannot just turn them on. The water is also like this: you either shower with boiling water or ice cold water, there is nothing in between. I would definitely not recommend this hotel and probably the three stars are like two…

Pour check-in. Got a wrong roomnumber - the woman staying in the room was terrified, Imagined that she would be raped. At the check-in again no apology just a stupied laugh. At the right room the temperature was 26 degrees - not possible to sleep there. Bathroom so small - sitting at the toilet, you were leaning at the wall. I belive that the bathroom was a wardrobe before. The breakfast was good and varied. The room was clean and cleaned both days I was there. I will never stay there again and the price was 150 € pr night which had to be payed in advance. It is possible to find better hotels to that price.

Tel Aviv District, Israel6 contributions7 helpful votes
Really interesting building with a lot of history. The lobby renovation is a bit kitschy. Hotel itself is perfectly located for the business district and Roger metro. Breakfast is basic, but quite acceptable. No evening meals. There's a vending machine for hot and cold drinks, but it only accepts coins. Staff are helpful. Bed really comfortable. There is heating in the room, coffee maker and a TV. WiFi works well. Bathroom is clean, but watch out for the folding shower screen. Like others, I managed to flood the floor on one occasion. Oh, and the walls are pretty thin. Either that or my neighbours were really loud. It was as if they were right outside my door! If you open the window, be careful. There's a railing, but it's very low. Overall, the hotel satisfied my requirements. If I have another trip I'd definitely consider it again

In spite of the negative older reviews i booked the hotel and took a chance, but i was happy with my stay (me and my sons) in a twin room on the 4th floor. The room was renovated with black tiles in a shower room, beds were comfortable, coffee good, shower is fine, clean, rooms quiet. No conditioner but we didnt need it, it was around +26C outside. The hotel is situated few steps away from shopping moll an shopping street, metro, starbacks, KFC and other food court in ground floow of the city-2 mall, and carrefour in the same area. All in all good experience, i can recommend this place.

The room was clean and the location was excellent. They allowed us to store our luggage both before and after we check in/out. We booked a triple however, the third bed was just a couch. When we took a shower, the water went everywhere all over the floor. It was worth it in the price because of the location. Just 10 min walk from the grand place. Centrally located between two train stations. Perfect for 1 night.
