My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms, although in need of renovation, were spacious enough. The air conditioning was not working, but the hotel provided a fan in the room, which was a nice gesture. The hotel's location, just 2 minutes' walk from Brussels Midi train station and metro, was very convenient. The service was friendly and above expectations, with the staff even offering to move us to another room for the remainder of our stay. However, the neighborhood around the hotel felt a bit unsafe, and there were some noise issues. The dining experience was satisfactory, although the options could have been better. The facilities were decent, but there were areas that could use improvement.

The hotel was like a hot-house, with stained showers and leaky bathroom, but the friendly service made for a pleasant stay. The location was loud due to the nearby motorway and railway, yet conveniently close to the train station. The dining was affordable but lacked variety, and the facilities were satisfactory.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. On the positive side, the rooms were clean and quiet, and the hotel is conveniently close to the train station and within walking distance of the city center. However, the strong smell of cigarette smoke was a major downside for me.

I had a mixed stay at this hotel. The rooms were dark and not well-lit, possibly due to the 'art design' theme, and mine had two single beds pushed together instead of a double bed, which was a bit disappointing. However, the staff were really friendly during check-out, but unfortunately, when it came to fixing issues, they were not very helpful. The location was a bit off-putting with a dirty and somewhat unsafe neighborhood, but it was convenient being close to Brussels Midi station. The dining options were limited and not very satisfying, although the prices were reasonable. Overall, it's a place I'd only recommend if you really need to stay close to the Midi area.

My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed experience. The room was spacious compared to other hotels, and the bathroom was really nice. However, I was disappointed to find the decor peeling, the carpet stained, and small details like no teabags or cups despite having a kettle in the room. The smell of cigarettes in the room and the bathroom was also off-putting.

My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. The rooms, though clean, had some issues like stained carpets and peeling wallpaper, but the proximity to the train station and city center was convenient. The service was friendly at reception, but there were some communication problems. The location, right next to the station, was great for a quick stopover, but the neighborhood felt unsafe.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of comfort and convenience. The rooms were well-equipped with a kettle for coffee and cocoa, ensuring a cozy and stylish experience although there were a few lacking and broken furniture items. The service was top-notch with helpful and kind staff, making the check-in seamless even late at night. The location, while not the safest at night, was ideal for easy access to the train station and trendy areas. Dining options were subpar, but the prices were reasonable. Overall, a stay with some highs and lows.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were spacious enough but a bit noisy, and the air conditioning didn't work, so the hotel provided a fan. Unfortunately, there was no toilet paper, and the rooms didn't quite match the pictures. On the bright side, the hotel is conveniently located near the Midi station and close to the city center.

Upon arrival at 9 pm, I found the hotel rooms to be clean, warm, and spacious, offering a comfortable stay. The staff members, especially the one working on Friday night, were very nice and accommodating.
