Home from Home type hotel
Brilliant location and super-friendly and helpful staff. Nice owner too but some repairs are needed to surfaces, the lift and suchlike. Never mind, if you enjoy a basic stay slap bang in the middle of the city (location, location, location) this is the hotel for you. Affordable and down-to-earth. Great that such hotels, with a family feel, still exist in the centre of Brussels.

No transportation service to the Brussels airport. Bartender arranged a taxi. 65 eupo. A taxi stop cross the street seemed more reasonable.

Everything was great: The view, breakfast and location. I would definitely recommend you stay here when you are planning to visit in Brussels. Everywhere is walkable. Not too loud other than ambulance. Breakfast is continental: ham, cheese and croissant. Orange juice, milk, chocolate milk and any kind of coffee. You can have some cereals work youghurt too. Perfect! Again: location and view of the city from your room is the best. You will love it. Thank you for making our vacation great - hotel Orts. I would definitely choose this hotel in the future again.

We arrived hours after the check-inn time and our room was still not ready. We arrived in the late afternoon and only had that day to spend in brussels so having to wait another 30mins before our room was ready was extremely inconvenient and unprofessional. The property is location walking distance from the Christmas market, but to be honest there are so many hotels in the area, I would recommend staying somewhere else. The space is located above a bar, so was loud in the middle of the night.

GREAT STAY AT BEST LOCATION
ONE NIGHT IN BRUSSELS. INITIALLY WAS QUITE SKEPTICAL ABOUT THIS HOTEL DUE TO THE LOW ROOM RATES. WAS EXTREMELY PLEASED WITH OUR STAY. THE HOTEL IS LOCATED RIGHT OPPOSITE A LUXURY HOTEL AND THERE IS NO DOUBT ON THE EXCELLENT LOCATION. ATTRACTIONS AND FAST FOOD CHAIN ARE RIGHT AT THE DOOR STEPS. THE HOTEL SERVICES ARE COMMENDABLE. BTW, MUST TRY THEIR MUSSELS, IT IS HEAVENLY DELICIOUS. BREAKFAST IS SIMPLE BUT THE SERVICES STAFF SPECIALLY MADE US SCRAMBLED EGGS EVEN THOUGH IT WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE BREAKFAST BUFFET. OVERALL IT WAS A GREAT STAY FOR US

Great time in Brussels
We arrived early in the morning. Friendly staff met us and helped with our luggage.We lived in a room with a balcony on the second floor. The hotel is in a very convenient location in the city center.There were minor flaws in the room, but they are not so important. We had a great time in Brussels. Thanks a lot to the hotel staff.

The feel of the hotel was like walking back in time. The wood furnishings and floor, the wooden desk. If I was told that some of the furnishings were decades old I would believe it yet none of it looked run down. It had that well kept classic feel to it. As for location, it was perfect for the area around the City Center. Walking distance to the City Center, shops, Manneken Pis, and much more.

Good spot, close to the walking district. The hotel is close to restaurants in all directions, but also has one of its own. The only thing I didn’t like was the elevator- made me nervous, but mainly because I’m not used to the type.

First time in Brussels Hotel Orts
The Hotel Orts was in a great location. check in was quick and the staff were friendly. We stayed for 3 nights. Breakfast was okay but kind of pricey. Overall we really liked the hotel and location and the location is why we picked it. Plenty of bars and restaurants within walking distance. At night we could hear a lot of street noise so if you are a light sleeper you may not get the best sleep.

The Hotel Orts is really a cafe with a few rooms above. It's in a good position, and the room was quite comfortable but the tv did not work and there was no attempt to fix it, and one of the bedside lights did not work. It was ok for one night but I would not want to spend any longer as there are minimal facilities.

I had a relatively late check in (~8PM) and there was someone at the desk to check in me in. I really didn't see anyone staffing the hotel outside of that. The room was pretty spacious for the area though. The room had a great balcony that I assume would be awesome to hang out on when the weather is nice.

Disorganised and Grubby but Great for Sightseeing
We had problems checking in, detailed in an earlier review. We were sent to an unmade room (Pictures below) and the manager was reluctant to move us, suggesting we wait for the room to be sorted. After waiting for about 30 minutes with no sign of a cleaner, we protested loudly to Reception and were finally given a key to the room one floor above. This was small, but adequate although as a non-smoking hotel, I would have preferred that the disgustingly full ashtray had been removed from pride of place outside the window! Strangely, there was a kettle and mugs, but no other tea or coffee making provisions and the mini-fridge contained an open and dried out pack of cheese slices. The downstairs bar, however, served great beer (not hard in Brussels!) The hotel is also very close to the old centre of the city and all of the Christmas markets. Given that it was New Year's Eve, the room was reasonably quiet at night, So quiet, in fact that we overslept next morning and only just made the check out time. Luckily, the woman on duty made up for the attitude of the manager the previous day, and agreed to provide the breakfast we had paid for, even though it was well past the deadline. We were also able to leave our bags. Despite the location, not sure that I would use this hotel again - first impressions count!

Would recommend but with some side notes
The bar staff are also the hotel check in staff. Both dealings with staff were very positive. Was upgraded to more spacious room, however needed two beds and were given a bigger one bed. The elevator is either cool or not, depending on how you look at it. Just make sure you are all the way into the lift is all i can say. The room was spacious with a very distinct slant in the floor. Couldnt figure out the tv at all. Big one was that the shower leaked onto the floor with a very bad shower divide that might as well not be there. Had to leave early to catch the train and found that the staff don't start until 7am so just left the key card on the counter and left through the side door stepping over all the drinks spilt on the floor the night before. With all that said it was still in an amazing location. One block from a subway station and the exchange. Only two blocks from the Grand Place. Lots of food options around and was very easy to find. The staff were really nice and the bed was comfy, but I like a softer bed.

great ambiance and great value
this Hotel has such ambiance, and is situated on such a picturesque block, just 2 blocks from the Grand Place. the room is very modernized - with more advance tech than i could use - in contrast to the old fashioned lift and confusing staircases. this gave it an old Europe flair, and i was quite comfortable there, quite satisfied with how quiet and small the place is. the restaurant on the first floor is worth a stop, and there are many amenities nearby, and the price was good. i highly recommend and would stay there again

Awesome hotel in the heart of Brussels!
We stayed in Brussels for 3 nights and the hotel Orts was perfect for our trip. The location was a 5 minute walk to The Grand Place, a 12 minute walk from the train station (Brussels Central), shops and restaurants everywhere, the restaurant at the hotel was great, 3 grocery stores within a 5 minute walk from the hotel. The room itself was ideal. Comfortable bed, large bathroom with shower, 2 balconies (get a corner room so that you can overlook the intersection for a great view off the balcony), air conditioning, TV and fridge with a small freezer to make ice. Staff spoke English well enough. The is an elevator, small but functional. Would highly recommend this hotel.

Could not stay there.
There is not enough characters allotted to adequately describe our short experience at this hotel. In short, there was a pungent odour in reception that made us want to gag. The elevator had written warnings of regular breakdowns and made loud clunking noises. Bathroom lights didn't work so my wife had to go to the toilet by iPhone torch light. The bathroom sliding door was faulty and she ended up stuck in there till I could prise the door open. Reported all items to management. Left for a couple of hours & upon return nothing had been fixed so we checked out and were happy to pay three times the amount at a nearby hotel. Nobody even asked why we were checking out. They just didn't seem to care.

More of a B&B above a bar than a hotel
Bar staff are the hotel staff and yes very pleasant. Room was a bit small and dated but had a balcony looking out onto the main raid which was nice. TV did not work and when I reported this on Friday they said they would fix it as I like watching the news in the morning. Still not working on check out on Sunday - c’est la vie - but yes great location for bars and restaurants and was overall OK as I was out all of the time.
