Hotel de France

Very tight space. I dont give tecomendation to stay there. Aboid this place. In general be very cautios as there are so many criminals and thieves in trains.

Excelente hotel budget, in the are of construction of the METRO , is not a hotel issue, super close to midi train station, never I feel and safe , very affordable restaurant in the area

Good location if travelling from Brussels Midi

The window led onto an exterior fire escape, but the window frame had been broken in before, so the window hung on 1 of its 3 hinges and could he easily opened from outside again. It felt very unsafe, but it was 1am when I got there so I stayed the night. When i woke up one of the largest spiders I have ever seen was on the roof above the bed. The whole building also smelled unclean and had stale air. It is in a state of disrepair. I would never consider staying here again, even for half the price. It may already be the cheapest option, but picking anything else will be worth it.

Close to the main train station. We had a comfortable stay for the 5 days we stayed in Brussels. The bed was super comfortable. Clean room and clean bathroom with daily housekeeping. Reception staff friendly and helpful. Area around hotel was an unfortunate letdown. Noisy.

Convenient for the station, not unclean, but a constant hum noise in my first floor room and pretty basic of course

Close to the railway station and attraction. Low key place

Horrible

Hotel is conveniently near the station, bed very comfortable, room clean. Shower difficult to manage, shower head loose. Otherwise acceptable for price.

Amazing service

This hotel is very convenient for the Midi station, which is why we chose it. Outside there are major building and road works, which is not their fault. The hotel itself is basic but functional and the staff were very helpful. It was rather expensive for what it is compared to what we paid elsewhere.

There’s always people who’s sleeping at the entrance, garbage all around, the elevator is old, the tv doesn’t work, the images was cracked all the time, and the food is not good, only the staff is good and the room size

Walkable to the train station

Great rooms and excellent service staff at the front desk.

Room had ants on table and bathroom. Mold was visible on the shower head. No shower door or curtain therefore water got bathroom floor wet. Towels were dingy. The worst bed I ever slept on. You could feel the springs. The room had a window that you could slightly open which was terrible because it was hot and stuffy in the room at night. There was a table fan that helped but it was loud. The best part of this hotel is that it was a few minutes walking from train station and from the Grand Place. There were plenty of convenient stores and eateries nearby.

The place is congested and not suitable for family. The beds were 1.5 ft width and you can hardly sleep on it.

Ok for one night if you have eaten and don’t want to go out

For the price, this hotel is superb. Very clean. Decent location (10 minutes walk to Grand Place). Helpful staff. I could be very picky about just a couple of things, but nothing crucial considering how reasonable the cost is. Great hotel.

Nice clean big rooms with excellent shower. The reception staff Mohammad was very friendly and helpful as well as the other staff we met. Highly recommend the hotel parking if you drive there. Location is very good and I would highly recommend this hotel.

The first room we were allocated had greasy food in the bed, smeared on the wardrobe doors, had a dirty, used fork inside the wardrobe (??) and was in general disrepair. The electrical socket was coming out of the wall, the lights flickered when I plugged my charger into a different socket, the table had a large crack down the middle, the floor was broken and large dirty gaps in places, walls scuffed and marked. I could go on. The receptionist changed our rooms, which was at least clean but there was an issue with that plug socket too. Overall, the place was alright for a cheap getaway to Brussels, and was very close to the Midi Train station, and we could walk to the city centre within 20 minutes, but the condition was very much in need of some improvement.

it was ok

Overall okay. Cannot say good or something, especially compared to the price. And wifi really sucks, and lift is so small.

The hotel is in the basic budget range. It is clean and convenient for the train station. The actual area is run down.

Bathroom and ventilation area with a strong smell of sewage, in front there is paving work, only the location is excellent.Bathroom with plastic curtain that gets wet everywhere, and no place to put bath items in the shower.

Decent location. Rooms are humid and not ventilated well, also a problem with tiny anys everywhere on desk and night stands.

When we arrived at this hotel (which is in a very bad part of town compounded by the fact that they are digging up the entire road/avenue this hotel sits on, we discovered they had no record of our reservation. We had confirmed and paid for the reservation months ago via Expedia. Apparently at some point this hotel declined the reservation claiming they are closed (they are not) but we only learned of this information as we were trying to check in. We had to call (from France with US cell phones) the Expedia service number. After 45 minutes they were luckily able to get us into another hotel in a better and safer location. The gentleman at the front desk (who was very nice and did let us log onto the WiFi to make our call) said that this happens at least once or twice a week with Expedia reservations. Yet for some reason this hotel is still listed on Expedia and still seems to be taking money for reservations they have no intention of honoring.. Strongly advise against this hotel.

It was ok. But the other guest upstairs made so much noise till 3am. Hence difficult to sleep at night.

The room was very hot, but the conditions were as expected (fine).

It was an average hotel. They gave us the wrong room and when we told them they told us we can’t have our actual room till tomorrow. The smell coming from the bathroom was not pleasant and was very loud when light was on in bathroom. Only two plugs in the whole room worked including one in the bathroom.. Our second room was much nicer. The breakfast was not worth it and didn’t bother eating it for the last two mornings we stayed there. Also the area itself is quiet rough. Overall the stay here was average, it’s okay for a one or two night stay..

Awful experience, from customer service to cleanliness. Unfortunately we were in a hurry and we had to leave right after the check-in for an event. We arrived 5 hours later and saw the condition of the room and noticed the hallways of the property. Property in an terrible condition, pictures are nothing to reality. Broken and dirty walls at least in our floor. The room smelled like cigarettes although we asked for not smoking room, had exposed cables from the walls, broken-paperlike floor on the shower, cigarette butt marks all over the toilet and the matress was in a terrible state (bug yellow marks and hair). The receptionist declined to speak English to me when I asked for room change and he communicated with me only with google translator texts written from my side and not looking at me. Once his colleague arrived he started yelling towards me. I tried 3 times with EG help too but he declined to change us room as we had checked in more than 4 hours ago and when asked for Early check out and at least partial refund he also declined. It was impossible to stay in that state of a room so we ended up finding a different property in the area at midnight by ourselves and basically pay for both properties for 1 night stay. My advice, avoid it. The area has other properties for the same budget, safer environment, better service and clean rooms.

I got robbed on the street 2 minutes away. Showed up with blood on my fists and face and they did absolutely nothing to help me out! Dont stay here ever!

Ideally located close to the railway station and an easy walk to the city centre. Clean and tidy room.
