Anderlecht
5.0 out of 10, (28 reviews)
"This is a convenient location about a 5-6 minute walk from the train station. Staff is friendly and there is a nice little outdoor area to socialize and balconies in every room. The only thing I didn't like was room switching without notice, and the hygeine standards (or lack thereof) of some of the fellow guests."
