“Good hotel in poor neighborhood”

The hotel is very clean and set up well. The staff are friendly and helpful. The hotel has been there for a century, but the neighborhood has changed and it is now a poor ethnic neighborhood. We felt uncomfortable to go out and eat in the neighborhood. The hotel does have a restaurant which we did not try. They also provide a good and extensive breakfast. The hotel has a wonderful complementary shuttle service which will take you to the city center at several times during the evening. They also have a number of later pick up times to get you back to the hotel. In the city center are wonderful restuarants. In the daytime it is a safe and easy walk to the city center. They will also pick you up or take you to the train station as they are close to the Midi station. They do not have a shuttle to the airport. We did have an unusual amount of street noise on a Friday

“Good value for money, would stay there again, a good walk to city centre”

Although our first impressions of the general area were "a little tired" and the exterior of the hotel could do with a lick of paint, we were pleasantly surprised by the comfortable relaxing interior, and by the helpfulness and friendliness of all staff we met. The bed was very comfortable and the room clean. There were no tea or coffee making facilities in the room which we would have used if present. A large room safe was provided free of charge. The buffet style breakfast had a large array of good quality food and gave us a good start to the day. The hotel provided an evening meal with several options including vegetarian, and was very good, although the portion sizes meant that you needed three courses. The hotel was just outside the western city ringroad with several shops, mini supermarkets and some smaller restaurants nearby. A ten to fifteen minute walk to the city centre gave us an enormous choice of good quality restauants, as well as hundreds of chocolate shops! We would definitely stay at this hotel again.

“Much more impressed than thought would be!”

After reading the reviews i was slightly worried about this hotel and the surrounding area however was only booking one night. I found the area to be perfectly fine, i was travelling on my own with a three year old and i felt perfectly safe walking around the area when i went out to look for food. Its only a short walk or metro ride to central brussels, the hotel room was bigger than i had expected and pretty comfortable, the breakfast was ok, plenty of food, made good start to day. If i was visiting Brussels again i'd return as they offered everything i needed and there was a good playground just down the road

“Didn't like the surrounding but the Hotel itself was not Bad”

The room was clean but the equipment was a bit old, There warming system in the room wasn't working quite good, Internet speed was surprisingly good, Hotel staff was nice and friendly and most importantly they all had good knowledge of English as I couldn't speak French nor Dutch, The location of the hotel is some kind of crowded and most of the shop owners and people in that area are Arabs, overall its a very great budget hotel to stay for one or two nights but if you're going to spend more money on your hotel then there are far more better choices to pick from.

“The location of the hotel is not good”

The hotel itself is ok but the location is very bad, don't feel too safe or comfortable. But seem to get my money's worth, the breakfast is good.

“Nice Place”

Staff was superb. Off street parking available as was wi-fi (small fee for each). Room was European but adequate. Free shuttle service to town center was appreciated. We felt safe here.

“hotel Van Belle: buena relación calidad-precio”

Nos gustó el hotel.Sencillo, pero suficiente, muy limpio y cerca del centro. Habíamos leído que los alrededores estaban mal, que era una zona poca segura, pero a nosotros no nos lo pareció. Además el hotel, pone a disposición de los clientes de manera gratuita un servicio de una furgoneta con conductor que te acerca y te recoge del centro, cada hora y de manera gratuita. En cualquier caso, andando son 20 minutos, así que nosotros no la utilizamos.

“Ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo”

Si tratta di un Hotel facile da raggiungere e non lontano dal centro della città. Il suo punto forte è però l'ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo per una città come Bruxelles. I confort fondamentali ci sono tutti, le stanze sono abbastanza spaziose e anche la pulizia non lasciava a desiderare. Consigliata la colazione continentale, abbastanza abbondante. In definitiva un ottimo hotel per un soggiorno economico sia turistico che per ragioni di lavoro.

“Hotel Van Belle in Brussel is een goed verblijf voor een redelijke prijs.”

Ons doel was Brussel drie dagen te bezoeken en wij daarbij geen hoge eisen aan het hotel verblijf stelden. De kamer was netjes, maar gedateerd evanals de badkamer. Het ontbijt is ruim voldoende en gevarieerd. Erg goed is de shuttle-dienst van en naar het station en naar de Grote Markt. Al met al een goede uitvalsbasis voor een bezoek aan Brussel.
