It’s certainly good value, and very close to the Eurostar station.

Singapore4 Reviews“expensive for what it is (last minute price i guess) and big red flag: bedbugs”BEDBUGS. I was their feed for the night. There was also a strange stench, but bearable.
it was near to the station and it was probably the only one left- we had to find accommodation for the night because Belgium had severe train delays that caused us to miss our second train back to London. It was unfortunately also comic con night and most places were fully booked.

United Kingdom17 Reviews1 helpful vote“Horrible, disgusting and a rip off”The place needs to be pulled down. We have been travelling throughout Europe and this is the most expensive hotel that we have stayed to date. It was appalling. If they are going to charge such a high price then they need to reflect the service and quality. This type of hotel will invite reputational damage to Booking,com . The street noise came through the room all night The hotel's Neon light into the room all night from the outside. The curtains were falling off The TV wall plugs were coming off My partner got a insect bite during the night. There was a vending plastic cup in the bathroom, cant be that expansive to get a decent plastic cup. There were no sink or bath plugs They were cleaning the rooms and all the dirty towels were strew around the lift area. The picture below is the after, still smelly stuff in the corridor. These were just some of the issues. It is about value for money at this price we were a ripped off and Booking.com is party to this, in my opinion. No doubt you may write to me with some excuse about our Faulty Towers (BBC old TV series) experience in Belgium.
Close to the train station

Location close to Gare du Midi was perfect for my work. Of course, a consequence was that it was a little bit noisy which I took into account. Unfortunately, there was no brekfast service, but on request I got a free morning coffee.

Ireland1 review“Basic, but clean and comfortable. Practical location if arriving or departing from Gare du Midi”Bathroom could do with updating, but it was perfectly functional. One small gripe: there was a bath in the en suite, but no plug.
Good location for getting around, with a metro station nearby. Room was basic, but comfortable. Sheets and towels were spotlessly clean. Bed was particularly comfortable. Plenty of hot water, and water pressure was good on the third floor.

Belgium1 review“For 80 Euro/night, not expecting a luxury hotel in the Brussels centre, but at least decent hygiene.”Hygiene is bathroom was terrible. It looked as it it had been used 15 minutes before by somebody else and wasn't cleaned in the meanwhile (despite arrival at 11 PM). Floor was completely wet, with woman's hair on the floor. Sink was extremely dirty. No soap available. Mold on the ceiling above the shower. Room rather smelly.
Very rapid booking via internet, which was last minute due to train strike.
