Hotel des Colonies - Brussels    Share

We had a good time in there, good located and cheap price. But you can hear the other guests talk in their room even when they are not being loud. Another issue we had was that they were doing some reforms and they started at 8 am, which we thought was a bit early. But apart of that, like I said, really good location, and for the price, you can't really ask for anything else.

I booked the "Comfort Room", for one night. In matters of location, it's quite good, as it's close to both the North Station and Grand Place. I wasn't expecting 4-star conditions from a 3-star hotel, but it was disappointing. The photos on booking do NOT reflect the state my room was in. The hotel is presented as elegant and clean. The reality is: the wallpaper has unglued itself, the carpet had multiple stains, the corridor smells of some cheap detergent, the bathroom door couldn't be closed, there was a faucet, not a mixer, which squirts cold water and the room was poorly acoustically isolated, as you are able to hear every whisper, footstep and door slam on the corridor.. It might offer something over one's head for one night, but don't book for more nights and definitely don't book for business meetings or a relaxing holiday!

Lovely place and lovely location. In the heart of Brussels

The hotel does not offer the adequate conditions, especially attending to its high price. There is no fixed hair dryer (we must ask at reception desk), breakfast doesn't vary everyday, the room is only acceptable, and finally the water: no hot water during one week (with various not convincing excuses) and finally no water on thursday!!! Not really recommend this hotel; in fact, hotels are a problem in Brussels!

Staff are very helpful short walk to metro very clean lovely breakfast great value
