Rooms and washroom are big enough for two people with good window view.
The only part which they lack is not providing kettle in the room and no washroom basics like soap,shampoo and dental kit.
- close to public transport for all the types metro, tramway and bus
- good food and hard options at the hotel itself
- super friendly and polite staff
- clean, comfortable and spacious rooms
- clean washroom / toilet area
- very close to basilic infact you can see it from the hotel window and corridor.
- classic vintage styled restaurant and the hotel is well lighted up with nice wooden flooring
Negative:
- A bit far from the Brussels north (gare du nord) station. Can take 40 minutes by walk (you need to have strong legs like mine;))
- too narrow entry gate and too small elevator, is not wheel chair friendly
This hôtel is definitely a place to avoid.
