There was a stain on the bedsheets, julien didn't respond to my messages, did not feel safe.

It’s clean, wide, and has full furniture.
The only thing I didn’t like is the socket port, which does not fit with my laptop, it’s good if it has variation in ports.

room not warm enough and not regulable, bathroom not clean, wind was coming in the room, and the covers on the bed was not enough, it was too light for the current season. Midst winter.

Beds were comfortable, late check in was easy.
Some construction works in the building, kitchen didn't look very good. Surrounding area was terrible, full of trash on the street. Hard to park the car nearby.

The room was quite big.
If your goal is to be closer to the airport and save some money... that is pointless. Taxis will still charge you 30 euros for a 10 minute ride. The room was big and the check in procedure easy, but that's about it. Not super clean, only one towel for a two guests booking. Bathroom on a different floor from room with no lights in the hallway. Very very basic for a not very basic price.

Pretty clean, quiet, sights of refurbishment, yet it also means the owner(s) care about the accommodation quality and state.
Stairs are not for tall people 🥲 I hit my head once

It was clean
Third stay and each time is worse.
This stay: the front door was not locked at all. If you value feeling safe, you won't
There was no light on the second floor, meant having to risk life and limb to go to the toilet at night. I had to use the torch on the phone and prop open the room door: see the picture
I did message the owner about these things, and no reply

When I arrived it was easy to enter and seemingly clean and tidy. Facilities were basic but fitted my needs. Room was spacious and the bed was very comfortable.
On viewing the room was very clean but when I was in bed I found 3 different hairs that didn’t belong to be under and in the pillows so I don’t think the bedding was changed before my arrival. while having a separate toilet was good, I wasn’t able to wash my hands when someone was in the shower as the sink is there.

Upon arrival we went into our room to find it had someone else already staying in it. Due to the late time we arrived at we were forced to stay awake most of the night, only briefly napping in the communal kitchen area. This area was quite run down and not at all comfortable to say the least.
The area itself was also quite rundown and there was no communication from the owner about this fact. Overall there was very little communication from the owner past telling me what the code to get in was. Several attempts were made to contact them upon our arrival and subsequent finding of someone else in our room. These were made both on here and through WhatsApp which was the preferred method of contact that the owner had laid out.
These issues caused us to need to buy new accommodation for the rest of the duration of our trip which was extra money we shouldn't have needed to spend. Alongside these issues, there was the overall security of the place. The front door and the door each had a code, that apparently doesn't change between bookings. Not to mention upon our arrival the front door was just completely unlocked.
Overall this was a terrible experience and would not recommend the place.

Bad final work, must invest a bit more on this house and ask for 100€ isntead of 36, the house just need a bit more final work, and the frontdoor is Open, anyone can enter and haver acess inside.

Simple JYSK décor, spacious feeling. Foresight to put charging point near the bed. Will be nice when the building work is finished
Location: There are 2 roads with the same name in the same town but 3km apart so be sure to put in the postcode 6000 when checking the location, which is further out than the one at 6040. No public transport after 9.30pm. The hotel indicated that the taxi charge is circa €30 from the airport to this location. Their welcome email suggested that they would organise airport transport but they have pulled that service.
The keybox didn't work and so the main door had to be left unlocked.
There were people in the bed of the room I was given. I had to be reallocated another room.
The person organising never picked up the phone and for parts of the evening text responses were patchy.
All these issues may be teething trouble but there was no apology.
Room finishes weren't completed. Only one part of the shower worked and there was no hook for the shower head so it had to be hand held. Again, once finished, the bathroom could be comfortable.

We arrived after midnight and left in the morning. There were no cabs at Charleroi, at least none that would take us at such a short distance. If not for another family that came to our rescue we would have been stranded at the airport. The street was very quiet when we arrived, but the instructions for entering were clear. The place is newly renovated and clean and comfortable. Great value for your money and a quick walk to the metro.
It might be helpful to know ahead of time that cabs are less likely to take you when you arrive to the airport and stay locally. They did offer to schedule a shuttle, but I did not realise how important it would be (my bad).

Proximity to the airport
No facilities available, very empty room, no extra covers, no kettle, super basic. There was one coffee machine which was dirty. If you want to go to the bathroom you have to go downstairs and the stairs are super cold if you want to take a shower and go back to your room.

Everything, the responsable the first, the apartment was under construction, it looks like the owner want to take more money for the rent before finish that, instead to finish and offer something at least decent… We call booking after our stay because while our Stan y one night someone started knocking the door and our window in the ground floor… the owner didn’t send them the instructions to go into the house, after that other person started knocking our door and trying to go in our bedroom, because the owner said to them to do it searching for a free room. It was and absolutely disaster. I never repeat in that place. I ask for a solution to the owner and he doesn’t care about that.

Location and pre arrival communication
The room was filthy, I never imagined myself sleeping in the same room of spiders. the shared bathroom was dirty too, and the most annoying thing was the stairs!! The width of the stairs did not exceeded 50cm, so if you have luggage you’ll be in trouble, besides, the stair (step) itself is very short. I can’t remember anything annoyed me that much in my life..

Location to airport and the price were the only good things. Easy check in process. The owner responded quickly until I complained.
I don't know how so many people rate this high. First the owner messaged me to see if I would use an air mattress instead of the second room, since we were a family of 4. That was fine I said. Upon arrival, the room smelled musty. The air mattress was half inflated, he gave us 1 small blanket and 1 pillow and 2 small throw pillows for my 2 kids to share. Only 1 normal size towel and 1 hand towel for the 4 of us to share. The bed sheets and towels smelled like they had been left in the washer for days. It was so bad my hair and skinned smelled like it the next day. The shared bathroom was so nasty. The sink was full of hair. The trash can was full of female products. The shower drain wouldn't drain. I messaged the owner and got no response until the next morning after we were gone.

It’s nice you can check in anytime thanks to automatic lock on the front door. There was a tv with Netflix. Public transport station is about 5 minutes away.
The whole place was quite dirty a lot of hair on the ground in the bathroom. Plenty of trash in the kitchen. The key to lock your room is also key to lock bathroom or other rooms in the hotel which doesn’t feel very safe.

The room was spaceous and clean and so was the bathroom.
Parts of the house look like a construction site, but since no actual works are being done, this doesn't affect you.

Will be nice to change the bed sheets next time as I found lot of black long hair in my bed. In addition, the sheets were wrinkled, so it was obvious that someone had slept in them already !!

Safe indoor bicycle storage, although this might no longer be available once renovation works are finished.
