I arrived at Ibis at 00:15 on a Sunday night to be told that they had cancelled my reservation because my credit card was invalid, and also that they were fully booked and had no more rooms available. They said that they had notified the website through which I'd reserved ("the website") who should have notified me, and that they... More

Very good central simple place. Room basic but extremelly clean. Very nice and efficient staff. The breakfast room is a bit small for the overall capacity of the place but very well run. Internet is free and good reception. Close to the train station, about 13 min irde from the airport of Brussels. The city itself is amazing, nice student... More

You pretty much know what you are getting when you book an Ibis so know not to expect a 5 star hotel. This hotel is fairly new (it was not to be seen on Google Street view) and is located to the back of the train station. If arriving by train and not carrying a heavy bag take the "Kessel-Lo"... More

Obviously a new hotel, everything was very clean and bright. Reception staff were very helpful. The room was functional but at such a low cost compared to other hotels, it was great value for money. The station is alongside so a good location for anyone needing to visit Brussels or the Airport, but there was no noise from the trains.... More

Nice compromise between a hotel and a hostel. Very good value for money. Clean. Great location - right next to train station, therefore, just a short walk to city centre, handy for travelling to Brussels. Free wifi. I would stay again.

I had a very pleasant stay I stayed here for 1 week, Hotel is next to train station so it was ideal for us and not noisy at all. Staff were pleasant and hotel room was clean and beds comfy so overall it was a nice hotel and not very expensive.

We booked a room in this hotel through a website on which the hotel claimed they had soundproof rooms. This was essential to us as the hotel is located near the train station. However, these soundproof rooms turned out to be a complete joke. We heard each and every train passing by, until late at night and starting again first... More

I'm really sorry that your stay wasn't up to your expectations. Nevertheless I'm surprised about your feedback concerning the noice, because I never had complaints about that matter before. Please do not hesitate to give me the roomnumber you stayed in, so I can investigate the matter accordingly. Best regards, Michèle Deprez - General Manager. More
