If you are looking for a cheap hotel, it is okay.
Very small and simple room I had. There is no door on bathroom, but only curtain. The bed is too narrow but it was okay for me, since I am not a fat guy. Wall is very thin so I heard every word my door neighbor spoke on the phone. The perfect thing was the breakfast. Overall, it was good for money.

Fair price, nice building, good service
For short stays this hotel is absolutely fine, overall clean, whereas not very modern and the bed was a bit noisy. Breakfast room has a cosy atmosphere and okay selection of food. Location is excellent.

Reasonable and convenient
I travel for work to Brussels frequently, and I have stayed here before, since the location is fairly convenient and the price is quite decent. There are a few things that are not great - for me the primary issue is that there in no sound insulation of the room - you hear everything in the hallways. And the lift is a bit of a climb up, breakfast has a limited selection, but everything was good. The wifi was not great.

I would say this is more of a hostel than a hotel. The carpet in the room was very dirty and the bathroom was in a converted cupboard. What was really painful is that due to Brussels being rather busy over the 3 days I stayed, I was charged over 200euro per night for the privilege but had no choice. Some will say supply and demand, I would say totally unacceptable.

Overall a nice stay, the price was good, the breakfast was nice and the location made it easy to get to from the local metro system. The room was good, but the only let-down was the bathroom door which was loose and thus difficult to fully close.

Clean, central hotel ... but bit drab.
This is a good, reasonably priced hotel in the centre of town (Koninklijke Musea voor Schone Kunsten, Grand Place etc all within 15 mins on foot) with lots of bars, restaurants, shops nearby. Accomodation includes a basic but adequate buffet breakfast and has good coffee (I always prefer to stay in a place that throws breakfast in, for convenience’s sake!). The staff are all quite friendly, too, and the hotel feels very secure — the front door is left closed on an evening and residents are given the code to unlock it so can come and go as they please; if you’re checking in late you can ring the bell and they let you in. The rooms themselves, however, are very very basic and a bit drab, and in the case of the single room I stayed in, micro! As it was this didn’t matter since I was in Brussels for a conference so just slept in my room, left early and arrived back late; but if you’re on a vacation and like to spend any real time in your room this may not be the place for you. That said the rooms are very clean — they just need a lick of paint, new curtains, better bedding and less dated furniture. But, all told, my stay here was pleasant and I would stay again next time I’m in Brussels for work (though wouldn’t if vacationing with someone).

Conveniently placed to all the facilities we used.
The hotel was clean and tidy and the beds comfortable. It is unfortunate that although there is a guest lift it was only accessible from the 2nd floor and then there was a further flight of stairs to reach our room. This made it hard work when carrying a large suitcase required for our overseas traveling. Breakfast was supplied and the choices were satisfactory.

Cheap decent accomodation
Prices don't lie, this wasn't a five star hotel. But for what I paid (50euros per night) it was a good stay at a surprisingly good location. Bed was decent, breakfast was decent, and the employees were very friendly. Other than the ultra slow wifi, I had no issues with this hotel, and I would book it again the next time I need a cheap accomodation at Brussels that is close to the city center.

Cheap way to feel spirit of older times
We got lost trying to find our rooms - the numbering system is very complicated. In hotel you can find many details from old times, even crackling stairs:) Rooms were not very comfortable, but keeping in mind cost - worth staying. Also you can smell fresh backed croissants in the morning for breakfast.

One night stay before my flight the next day. Room could use a little updating but everything was very clean and all required necessities were available. It was a little farther away from the central train station than I originally thought when I booked but also 60 € less than my previous Brussels hotel so I was fine with it! Shower was nice and hot and the breakfast was nice in the morning.

Nice hotel a little bit out of the centre.
Good hotel with comfortable room and personal welcome on arrival. Downstairs and breakfast room very good, and the breakfast food was very good. The bathroom in the room I stayed in needed an update - everything was working but quite old/tired. The curtains did not fit the window properly, however, the room was warm and comfortable.

below average
The door to the toilet is like a double wardrobe door with only small nobs to close it, this was rather awkward, bathroom was very basic, also the soap left a slippery residue on your hands. me and my girlfriend got the top floor with small windows looking onto the side roof.. so couldn't look down onto the road, nor could we see the building opposite us. positives -the bedding was clean and comfortable and the staff appeared polite also price, but i will look for another hotel next time i come to brussels.

Pleasant stay in pleasant no-frills hotel
Booked a single room and came exactly as described - single bed, 3m x 3m room, ensuite bathroom with shower. Step up from a hostel, and for a solo traveller it was all that was needed. Room was warm, clean, and a place to rest after a day sightseeing. Had breakfast on a couple of mornings, typical continental but for £5 was worth the money. Had no problems with wifi in room, and no problems with shower temperature.

Simple 2 star hotel
Simple basic hotel. Not too far from metro stop 'Madou', otherwise bit of a trek to grand market square I.e. Downtown. Breakfast is 5 euro and is a simple continental Buffett style. I had a single room and it was tiny. There is a street with lots of restraints nearby.

The hotel is well located and have a good price. The worst problem for me it was because there's no lift, neither for the luggage. So I had to go up 4 high floors carring my suitcases myself. If your stuffs are heavy, avoid this hotel.

Absolutely worth the money
If you are looking for a fancy place to stay, this is not for you. The room I had was small, the elevator not practically located, there was no toilet door, and the low water pressure made showers take longer than usual. If you're aware of these things, however, and you accept them (who needs a toilet door in a single room anyway...), then you may find it's a really good bargain, well worth 60 Euros. The room, with bed sheets and towels, was very clean, the breakfast was definitely okay, staff were friendly and helpful, and it was very quiet and peaceful. The immediate location may not be very thrilling, but the hotel is not far from the more interesting areas of Brussels. I would definitely recommend it.

Basic Room
Inexpensive basic accommodation. You need to go up some stairs to get to the lift and when you get out of the lift you need to go up more stairs to get to the room. A positive is that it is near a Metro station so you can get around the city.

for 20 pound a night this hotel was definitely worth it, it is very central and easy to find, the staff were very helpful and friendly, the room was clean and nice and simply decorated, well stocked bathroom supplies, the only thing i can think of is that it was two single beds pushed together instead of a double bed which was a little bit annoying because of the gap but that wasnt much bother, and also the shower went a bit hot and cold but that was also not a big bother

Bargain in Brussels & 1 Block from Madou Metro
Decent sized room with a separate shower. Bargain price for Brussels. I was able to walk to Saint Michael Cathedral and to the Grand Place. It is easy to get lost though. Be careful arriving from Madou Metro stop, only a block from (west?) side and much longer from other side due to a busy street above the stop with limited access for crossings.
