Hotel Derby  

The staff was friendly.

The room was worn and didn't looked like in the pics at internet. The bed was hard and uncomfortable. The breakfast was... Not a breakfast, just two buns and tea. It is not worth the money to stay there. I felt a bit frauded because of the difference between the pics and the reality.

It was awful experience. Do not recommend it to anyone.

The front desk staff was very friendly and helpful. The hotel is very close to the Metro (opposite the hotel) and the area is full of restaurants, night shops and even museums are close. The rooms were very clean and spacious (we stayed in room 6) and very airy. Well within budget. Will definitely recommend it to a friend and stay there again!!

No Dining Room, so the breakfast was served in your room. Breakfast was just a croissant, bread and a choice of tea or coffee or hot chocolate, but then again, we did not pay much.

3 things I liked. 1) Good location with a Metro to get downtown in 10 minutes. 2) Several very good Restaurants on the 4 corners of Boulevard Terveuren 3) But most of all, I liked Leaving it All Behind me. At a rate of 20 Euros / night, I would not complain, but my camping & backpacking days ended 20 years ago and this hotel at 100 Euros/night is a joke. It is not worth the price they charge, you would be better with several of the hotels down the block or around the corner. But the restaurant downstairs serves an excellent Entrecote.

The Elevator has been broken forever, and will never be fixed. This is fine in a youth Hostel, but not when you have to climb 3 floors with an 89 year old relative. The Lies about "the parts are on the way" were so transparent, that they could not look you in the eye whilst saying it. The room itself was on par with a 20 Euro/night Youth Hostel, the only difference being a lock on the door. The sheets were never changed during a four night stay ( I marked the bottom corners with a pen to check...) "Internet access" was a joke, right on par with the elevator being fixed. (See comments about the hotel, there might not even BE an elevator, just an elavator door with a yellowing sign saying "Elevator Broken" in French.) NOT RECOMMENDED.

Bed/pillow silence (backyard rooms)

Broken elevator breakfast

Value for money, rooms were spacious, simple and comfortable.

Kindness of staff and location

I did not like anything, the room No. 5 was awful, it stanked of kitchen (next door) and cigarettes, shower was rusty, sight of the window was horrible, the hotel should be closed as soon as possible.

Nothing, only its location in Merode is good.

It is close to eu headquarters and buildings. The hotel is descent value for money, clean and polite staff and helpful.

It is quite old hotel but good and polite staff. The elevator hardly has space for one person. Still it has free wi-fi, even though weak signal. Breakfast comes at the room since there is not lounge separate.

Location is good.

Breakfast poor.

It is really close from Merode Station and from the Commission. La cercanía al metro de Merode.

The room was pretty old, and not so clean, the hotel did not provide the guest with bath towels, just small ones.La habitación estaba bastante vieja y no demasido limpia, el hotel no dispone de toallas de baño, sólo de manos.

Breakfast to the room.

Modest hotel for people on budget, it's located on good place and offer good service, the staff is very kind and always willing to assist, the room is cleaned very well (important because breakfast is in the room)

Even 2 stars is still expensive and overestimated, but this is overall situation in Brussels. Breakfast need to be requested explicitly from previous day. Mediocre overall looking because of not renovated very old building.
