Small privately run hotel. Happy to look after you but didn't clean the room on one day which was the only disappointment. Breakfast was fine and cooked eggs to your request as well as the usual continental. Coffee machine stayed on all the time which was very useful.

A great small hotel, unpretentious but great value
This is great hotel close to the city centre and the mons memorial museum all within easy walking distance. That from a guy who injured his leg and was in a leg brace most of the trip. The best bit is you can park your car for free directly outside of it. That save over 40€ on equivalent nearby hotels. The room and a kettle and tea coffee also but a fridge is an extra bonus to pick up cold beers etc from cheap nearby shops. A couple of nice pubs on route to city centre also. Piece of advice is avoid the restaurant Henri on route to centre. Cash only and it turns you’re food into something you felt was microwaved, packet frozen chips etc. head onto city centre where there’s a great Pizzeria on the left just before the square. Sorry can’t remember its name.

It would have been better if the people at the St. James didn't accept reservations on the weekend, when they are closed It took us about 2 hours to find the hotel, and when we did, found out that they are not open on the weekend.So I have to wonder why they accepted a reservation they had no intention of fulfilling. took us another few hours to find a place to sleep other than our car. I'd give the St. James a negative rating but I can't see how to do that.

Great Hospitality
I had never to Belgium and I only had two evenings in Mons, naturally I wanted a good place to eat in the evenings. Nicholas, was working on the day of my check-in and he was really awesome. Very respectful and eager to help. He gave me a few of his favorite places to eat and I really enjoyed myself at Le Bailey. Nicholas made the stat complete for me. He was professional and always willing to help.

Clean but as basic as it gets.
I don't expect the moon for Euro 85 plus taxes but having stayed in five hotels on this trip of about the same cost, this was the only one that had no air conditioning, no safe, no free bottle of water to drink through the night, no tea or coffee maker for the morning. Then we were told breakfast was 0700 to 10am for 12 Euros extra but this was not available on the day until 8am. (it was a Sunday in fairness) but we were up and gone early. To be fair, the room was clean and the bed very comfortable. I shudder at sounding petty but charge me 87 Euros and give me a couple of bottles of water.

During the day,parking can a problem but at night I always found free Parking in front of the hotel.

Nostalgia

Nice hotel, very noisy
We were in the building to the rear which was very noisy with other guests coming and going at all hours of the night. Staff told us not to leave anything in the car outside as it would probably get stolen - they then told us later that day that we could use the secure car park...!

Great Modern Hotel
This is a very nice, modern hotel located in a nice neighborhood near many restaurants, bakeries and coffee shops. The room and bathroom were quite spacious and our king size bed was comfortable. The staff was very friendly and polite. We would definitely stay here again.

Easy to find
Decent location, about 5-10 minutes walk to the main square. The town of Mons looks like a factory town where the factory closed about 10 years before. The main square and St. Waudru was worth seeing, but that's about it. Friendly staff and good internet. Room was smallish and the water from the shower must have been set on super eco-water saving mode. Nice location for getting in and out. I would use it for a stop over one nighter, but not for extended stay.

Historic
Nice hotel with an older European feel; it is a redone historic facility so has it quirks. If you are looking for a modern hotel look, feel and facilities this hotel is not for you. For one it has heat but no air conditioning; there was a fan in the room. In mid August when I was there I could open the windows and it was fine at night. Right near the old downtown and easy walking distance to shopping, restaurants and a nice local park.

Value for money
Super god beliggenhed i Mons. Kun små 10 min gang til center. Nemt at komme ind til, med både parkering i gården (mod gebyr) og gratis på gaden. Lækkert lyst rum, der virkede ret renoveret. I bygningen løber der dog et rør eller noget som larmer on/off hele tiden. hvis man sover let vækkes man af det
