ibis Brussels City Centre 3 stars

I made a mistake in booking my hotel and selected Ibis centre instead of Ibis close to place du Chatellain. I therefore spent three days there in a room at 1st floor (room 127). The room was very small. Floor was old and not in a good shape, bathroom is made for people who do not really need space, windows are old windows. You can also hear grey waters coming from upper stairs (bathrooms and toilets). View was just another hotel in front of me. During the night, you can hear noises from people outside (in the street). Heater (air conditioned) was fortunately working well. You don’t hear noise between rooms. Breakfast is not fantastic. Food is not fresh food: industrial bread and pastries, little choice of cereals, industrial Apple juice, industrial omelets. Worth envisaging taking breakfast outside. Overall: I am not convinced at all. I recommend you to look for another Ibis in Brussels.

+ Hotel well located. Friendly staff. Breakfest. - Small rooms. Noisy air conditioner. Not comfortable beds. Water temperature in shower not stable. It's swiching to hot or to cold. To expensive.

The hotel is ideally located in the city centre close to public transport (bus, pre-metro tram, metro, railway), restaurants, shops and bars. It is popular and busy. It provides good-quality basic accommodation and a good-quality breakfast buffet. Although the rooms and bathrooms are small, they offer everything you need.

I was not expecting high end hotel standards when making this booking was I was expecting basic standards based on €110 per night. Staying on level 4 the entire level smelt of sewage that was really overpowering the whole length of the corridor. The rooms are extremely small so please be aware of this if you like a spacious hotel room during your hotel stays. Facilities are very basic with air con / heat not working in the room. No proper hand soap provided (hair and body wash only) or any other toiletries which I find a bit disturbing based on adhering to basic level hygiene standards. Breakfast was ok but would expect a little more such as chopped fresh fruit, more cereal options. The one benefit of this hotel is its location right off grand place and central station. However, if I was to make a return trip to Brussels I would compromise slightly on the location or shop around the area a bit more to get a nice hotel. Just be aware that this hotel is basic with zero luxuries.

Great staff, cleanliness, good breakfast
