Hotels near Esplanade Solidarność 1980 memorial plate, Brussels

We used this as a base the Marriott Apar**ents as a base for a short city break in Brussels. Ideal for our family of 4 (2 boys 16 yo & 4 yo) with 2 double bedrooms & convertible sofa bed. With own kitchen & balcony the self contained accommodation style was perfect set up for us. Perfectly located for public transport links, & exploration of the nearby European quarter on foot, we'd happily book to stay again if returning.

The hotel is not bad in all aspects. Although the location is not in the city center, it is not far from the city center and there is a Luxembourg train station nearby, so it is very convenient to travel. I didn't eat breakfast so I don't know the quality. The room is relatively spacious and comfortable, the only problem is that the water in the shower room is not smooth

Staying at Aloft in China is as good as ever. The girl at the front desk gave free slippers and pointed out the way for free parking. Very good parking near the weekend. There is a Carrefour convenience store and a good bakery. There is no need to clean up and give 5 Euro coupons, and the packaged breakfast is 6.5 Euros and it is ready to use. Buy one get one free for some drinks in the happy hour downstairs bar.

I would not stay in this hotel again. Before I share my experience let me start by mentioning things that the trip advisor web site states that this hotel has or service/s it provides and it does not. It does not provide currency exchange. I tried to get some currency exchanged I was told that don’t do it. I even asked if they would have change of 50 euros and the answer was “no”. A safe is listed in room feature on trip advisor web site which I did not have in my room. Now my experience: We checked in the hotel on August 14, 2023. At the check in we were told my room has a portable A/C unit but there is a pipe that goes from the back of the A/C to outside so the window has to be kept open when the A/C is operating (picture attached). This unit is only good if you are in front of the unit. Next good news I was given that my room is across the street from the main entrance of the hotel. It is on the 3rd floor (4th if you live in United States) and there is no elevator/lift so we will have to carry our suitcases to the 3rd/4th floor. When we went inside the room what we saw was like an attic converted into a room (some pictures attached). I did not see a room looking like what I was given in any of pictures they have on their web site (please see the pictures attached). The room was dirty with chips under and around the bed. It did have a small flat screen tv with one tv channel. The shower area was small, so some people may have problems once they close the shower door. If you want to roll the dice and still stay in this hotel then good luck to you.

The room size was OK. I was in a Deluxe room on the 2nd floor with balcony and view to the inner courtyard. I had specifically asked for a quiet room on a higher floor (arrival was on a Friday, stayed until Sunday). During both nights there were festivities going on in the hotel (first a bachelor party and the next night the wedding). The noise (music, etc.) in the evening and during the night was unacceptable for such a high standard hotel. Even when the windows were closed, the noise was clearly audible. Around midnight I went to the reception to complain - both nights. I was told that this event would go on until at least 3 a.m. I was offered to move to another room - but I did not accept that, since I expected to be disturbed by the noise in most rooms. I was told that at my check-out a manager would be available to take in person my complaint - which, of course did not happen. On Saturday after lunch I wanted to have coffee/cake with a friend in the hotel restaurant/terrace. It took the waiter almost 20 minutes to come and take our order. When arriving at our table, he just told us that there is a QR code which we need to scan in to see the menu. We did not place an order and left - very disappointing experience! Another issue was that I was travelling alone and was put in a room with connecting doors, which I believe is not suitable for solo travellers, esp. for females. I informed the hotel about all the above and received only very poor replies. The noise situation has to be improved - if a hotel does not have suitable rooms for parties, then don't rent them out when you have paying guests who at least want to sleep at midnight.

Because hotels around the electronic music festival have a lot of premiums, this is the most cost-effective hotel nearby. The room is new, and there are no reviews online. It is considered a blind box, and I was afraid of making mistakes. The result is much better than expected, and the price/performance ratio is excellent. I arrived at the hotel early. I couldn't get up early. They said it had to be at 3 o'clock, so I had breakfast on the first floor of the hotel. It cost 9 euros and the taste was okay. Later, I went out for a walk, and when I came back here, I checked in at around 2 o'clock. There is a 24-hour Carrefour next to it, which is very convenient. I brought two packs of instant noodles from China, but I was worried that there would be no containers. It turns out there is a lounge on the -1st floor of the hotel, including a microwave, hot water and coffee machine, which is very convenient. You can store your luggage before check-in and after check-out

B And B Brussels is pretty much what i want in a hotel It's a refinished brand name hotel that has a bit of a hostel vibe. It is stripped back in a good way. The bed is great. The bathroom is good hotel standard. The towels are big, fluffy and clean. There are no wardrobes. Who cares? There are hangers on a rail. There is a small wall safe. There are two coffee mugs and a good espresso machine down the hall. So much better than instant in the room. The iron and ironing board is also down the hall, fine, i don't often use ironing boards. This makes sense. There is no phone. Contact reception using WhatsApp. Easy peasy. The Wifi is free and good. There is parking, gym, and nightly cinema. Good standard breakfast buffet. Good location. I'll be back. I'm a happy guest.

What a disappointing experience this was. The price tag is hefty and this is a bare minimum effort of a hotel. Sullen staff who seem to have given up a long time ago, dated decor, a hotel bar that's never open and a breakfast buffet that unfortunately is. No plug covers in the bathrooms, so if you drop a toothbrush or contact, it's gone forever. Not even coffee making facilities in the room. Give this one a miss, because you absolutely do not get what you pay for.

The hotel Siru is particularly good for those who are required to be in the offices around the North Station or who wish to explore Brussels. The access door is defect and therefore you need to enter the hotel next door. The people at the reception are friendly and helpful. The room is OK, small and just, but also with a proper bed, desk, stop contacts and USB gates for example to load a phone, large box. The darkness cord is just too small, which makes you not able to dark the room. The door has dirty lining traces and a evacuation plan is missing. The room has coffee and water. The bathroom with toilet, lavabo and shower is also small. There are towels, soaps, etc. However, the shower is hardly going through and is packed with smooth tiles with polluted fittings (i.e. fungi), and the toilet is hardly swallowing through. Unfortunately, there is a lot of noise at night: street noise from the square, but also a lot of disturbing sounds from the top bathrooms and showers. I suspect that there are also a lot of people who have to stay at the airport because from 4.30 you hear people leave the room and the corridor.... Often with stinging doors. The breakfast is OK: good coffee (but only one machine...) and fruit juice, enough choice of bread and coating, cheese, sauces, cheese, charcuterie and even fruitsla. The hotel is not clean enough, so you often have to sit on a table where the stitches, dirty cups and the cover of old guests were left. I cannot recommend this hotel. The number of negative points is too high. And so, the price and quality of the offers are not in balance, and I will not come back here.

Stayed here two nights in mid-January 2023. Hotel is located in a gritty area, with much construction, but just a five minute walk to the main train station, with many transit connections. It's about a 10 - 20 minute walk to various tourist sites in the city. There are convenience stores and dining options nearby. Staff was OK but not overly friendly. Single room was small, but clean and the price was fair. There was a heating/AC unit on the wall but one button was missing and it didn't appear to be working. Temp was OK. There was a small desk and chair. Shower and sink were in the room and toilet in a small closet. The window opened into a narrow ventilation shaft so it was rather dark. Wifi, lights and TV worked fine. I didn't pay for the breakfast. It wasn't great, but it did the trick.
