Catalonia Forum  

The buffet breakfast was good except the coffee which was very poor. The room, double with terrace, was very good except for the lack of tea/coffee making facilities.

The restaurant was not open at weekend. The bar was open only when the restaurant was open. Since there were no tea/coffee making facilities in the bedrooms, this meant that one could not have a hot drink at all at the weekend save at breakfast nor any cold drink save the limited (and expensive) drinks in the mini-bar in the room. Nor are there any cafes or bars nearby save one usually overcrowded cafe serving brunch type meals. The room safe is operational only on payment of 5.50 euros a day (plus 10 euro deposit). There are too few staff . Overall, there is a distinct impression that the hotel group, Catalonia, is short of sufficient to provide the facilities and services to be expected of a three star hotel.

I've stayed at the Catalonia Forum many times, both on my own and together with my partner, on account of its excellent location for my personal requirements. It is clean and comfortable, staff are helpful and pleasant, and breakfast has plenty of choices.

It would be nice to have a coffee/tea maker in the room.

it was ok for me mikaela balan

The room was ok, clean and nice.

There was a sewer smell in the hotel everywhere; when I opened the window in the room it was gone after 30 min, but spoiled everything. So its definitely not for sensitive for that people... Also its very noisy in the morning - thin walls.

Location

A very small room at a high price

The location is exilent. Near the tram and just ten blocks to the Grand Square and just four blocks to ave Loise the best shoipping area in Brussels.Many shops and resturants in the nieghborhood.We had a great stay. Jerry -Washington State US

I liked their breakfast and the staff was very polite and friendly. The room rate was very reasonable for Brussels and the hotel's standards.

My floor and room were smelly - some problem with pipes and waste.

- poorly ventilated corridors and room - double bed meant two separate single beds sliding apart

I was impressed by the decor and cleanliness. The hotel looks more expensive- like a 5 star. Very clean and staff very helpful. Breakfast is basic but also very good.

The location is not very central and no metro near.

Catalonia forum is a pleasant hotel in the quiet and nice area. Hotel staff at the front desk was very polite and helpful. Room was simple and clean and the bathroom was spacious.

On Sunday afternoon cleaning lady was speaking very loud on the hall and made so much noise while cleaning the room across.

The location of the hotel, nice, comfortable room with all facilities working, peaceful environment and very nice and helpful staff.

Staff was helpful.

No exercise room

Hotels in large cities are often noisy. Catalonia Forum, being away from the centre of Brussels and not on a busy main road, was pleasantly quiet.

Although it was good to have a free internet connection in the room, the ethernet cable was only about 40 cm long, which restricted the use of my laptop to a very small area.
