Citadines Sainte Catherine Brussels  

Hygiene

Beds are sofa beds - uncomfortable

Staffs are good and helping.

Rooms need more kitchenettes and carpet needs more cleaning

-The Location to the Grand Market and subway access. -The nice coffee shop 2-3 blocks to the South, a few doors down from the Fish Markets - The Beautiful fountain with statue of 'St. Michael slaying Lucifer' to the North -The pleasant staff on-site, -The Colorful Clouds at Sunrise out our room window, noting we could wake and leave this place, not to ever return again. The price for the room was a poor value compared to what you get in the U.S.a or anywhere else we stayed in Europe for the same price. -Of our 17 night stay in Europe, this was our most memorable place to stay for all the wrong reasons.

I found this hotel in Rick Steves' Amsterdam Bruges/Brussels Book and made our reservation on May 14th for a stay in late Sept. I chose it specifically because of the Parking Garage available for our rental car, and the 3 triangle Rating by rs. Upon arrival, we drove in circles for several hours around the general vacinity of the Hotel, yet never were able to drive up to it. Several Barricades for construction compelled me to park the car, then walk several blocks to discover that the ENTIRE street in front of the Citadines St. Catherines Hotel was torn up and there was NO ACCESS to the parking garage. Although I found the Concierge to be pleasant, I let him know it would have been nice to have been informed of this major inconvenience since they knew of it ahead of time and chose not to inform me. As there was no place to park my car as advertised, I had to immediately return our rental car and skip our reservations for a pre-scheduled tour of a manufacturing facility. We found the room to be tiny, with a stale, musty, odor, and an old filthy, stain ridden carpet, complete with a Bed that was a LoveSeat sized Old hide-a-bed couch, a wafer thin mattress covering the metal bar jamming in your back and all. The only remotely redeeming qualties of our visit were: Room Tip: A tip to choose a good room would be to find one at a different hotel.

Good location, just right to the metro station, few stops from Grand Palace or European insitutions... Good prize, safety area, the apartman was fully equiped, the coffey was free, the internet as well... Nice staff.

The bed was not so comfortable, the noise from reconstruction was quite bad, but if the extra-comfort is not the necessity, the hotel is great.

Great location and easy to find

The facility was dirty, old and not well maintained. It mad eus nervous to sleep there but the bed itself was very comfortable despite being a sofa bed. It was a great location though

Location is excellent , metro outside , customer service

The bed is not good, uncomfortable sofa beds you cant get some rest.

Cigarettes smell welcomes you in the corridors on all floors No proper Beds, make-shift sofa cum beds, very uncomfortable

There was no hot water for shower and the room smelled of fresh paint ,

The location

The prices is excessively high for the poor quality

It has excellent location, close to the underground station and historic sites.

The cleanliness of the room was very under any standard. The room was smelly, carpet was very dirty and curtains were washed long time ago. The bad reminded me scout camps, I was not sure it was clean, there were only blankets. Very overypriced - for 160 euros that I paid I never slept in a place like this one.

The location is fine.

Hotel is far overpriced for what it offers. The rooms that are not renovated are dirtty, used up, there is no bed, but sofa, which smells and it is really used up. The carpet is very dirty and smells of the fungi.Mke sure that you get a room in the renovated rooms!!! And attention - during the period from about noon time till 18:00 there are drilling in the hotel - renovations, and repairing streets infront of the hotel. Nois that one normal person can not stand. If you have other posibilities please avoid this place before all the hotel is renovated - I am so sorry for having such an experience during my three days in Brussels.

The location of this hotel is excellent. It is in very close proximity to the St Catherine Metro Station and others, the city centre is within a couple of hundred meters, shops, restaurants, cafes & bars surround the area too. Due to the location we were able to visit most of the attractions in Brussels by foot. The room and bath room was large and the self contained kitchen was great although we didn't use it. The bed in the room was a sofa bed as advertised and we were amazed at how well we slept the two nights we stayed.
