Hotel De France **

nice! very great!

10 minutes on foot to the city center, (Grand-place), less ther 5 minutes on foot to gare du midi, the room was clean, I think it a was very good value for money.

Clean hotel, with nice and polite staff. The problem is the zone, which is kinda creepy at night, but it is close to the Brussel Mid Train station and also close to the Metro. Not too many places to eat near, but it is 2-3 metro stops far from city center, where you can find it all. 5€ breakfast is worth it.

Location is good, very close to downtown, but everything else needs improving. The bathroom looks dirty.

It was overall a nice experience. Rooms are comfortable for the price you pay.

Good service for fair price. Excellent location (if there were not for the nearby reconstructions that make the place quite noisy from early morning).

Quite ok, but only for one night!

The room I reserved was quite clean and wide. Continental breakfast was very good, it costs 5 euros, though. Access to metro and tram is very easy even for the first visitor.

The great thing about this hotel is its location, walking distance from the Gare du midi (Zuid Station), which is very convenient if you are arriving or departing from Brussels by train.

I would recommend attention when walking around that area at night, as the neighborhood does not look safe. That said, during our stay, we had no problems at all. The hotel staff is very nice.

staff is bad bad bad!! Breakfast not include, but value is expensive!!

And room was bad smells. like a toilett. Toooooo bad.

Great Service! Great Position, around trains station and 15' of "Grand Place"

Hotel is well located, just few steps from Gare du Midi - perfect for those travelling by train. I know it dosent't look encouraging from the outside but inside it is renovated and refreshed. Rooms have interantinal TV and are quite comfortable. 20 - 30 min walk to the centre. I recommend it!

Good points: close to the main station, clean enough, good bed, good windows, good breakfast -bread,cheese,boiled egg,jus,butter,jam,tea/milk/coffee.

Bad points: sink in bathroom is rusty, no decoration in room, which is very simple. NO INTERNET, they state the have it, it is a LIE.

So: good place for ruined traveller or to stay one-two nights, just to sleep, you don't want to stay in the room. Good price-quality ratio though.

We (my friend and I) just need a hotel to stay a few hours between an arrival and departure - we pay allways a whole stay (meaning an overnight) although we stay just a few hours. I reserved from 12h noon - we arrived at 12H30 - The room was not yet ready, we had to wait 30' when we came back, the room was "cleaned" - the floor was still wet, and in the bathroom I think they put a whole backet of water whitout drying it! Under the beds was dust from weeks!!! little paper on the ground and we even couldn't put something on the little table because of dirt and dust! I asked one bed for two persons, we had 2 beds- the location of the room was somewhere in the back of the hotel, an old garage or something that befores was a place where they put gabbage - You even couldn't look through the window from dirth and dust (probably the best, but even than) The man at the front desk took al lot of time to help the person before us, and when he finished, he even adressed us nearly a word! not a wellcome, Because we were two women???? Not really a good experience, but if we needed to rest before our departure, we went to rest a bit (hoping we didn't catch dirty beasts or something) As there was no place in Brussels that day and is was only for a few hours we went to rest but NEVER AGAIN! HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE! Spijtig want de locatie is vlak bij een station- Thanks for asking our opinion!
