Reviews
The location is convenient; it's about a 5-minute walk to the Manneken Pis and an 8-minute walk to the Grand Place in the city center. We walked to Midi station to catch the Eurostar, and it took less than 20 minutes.
The neighborhood felt safe; this street seemed to be an Arab residential area with many kebab shops.
There's a very interesting shop next to the hotel – if you know, you know. Worth checking out, hahaha.
I stayed at Bedford Hotel Brussels for 4 days 3 nights with my family and honestly we’re super satisfied.
Location very strategic, dekat city centre betul-betul. Cuma masa mula-mula sampai tu agak jauh sikit nak jalan kaki dari bahnhof ke hotel sebab waktu tu kami belum beli public transport ticket lagi. Tapi once dah ada ticket, tram & bus memang dekat dengan hotel and terus boleh go around the area, so memang senang nak go anywhere.
Area around the hotel pun easy to find halal-friendly food, memang banyak actually, so jangan risau, just cari memang ada yang halal certified 👍
Room quite spacious, clean and comfortable for family stay.
Service pun tip top, honestly nothing to complain. I asked for extra blanket pun mereka cepat hantar terus ke bilik hihi 🤍
Overall memang recommended kalau datang Brussels with family ✨
I stayed in a single room and expected it to be small, but it was surprisingly spacious, with a kettle and a private bathroom.
The breakfast was delicious and very affordable compared to other hotels.
I’m truly grateful to the staff and owners for their kindness and excellent service!
Next up, the entire room is dark and dim! For the whole room, there are two lamps! No central lighting, just two lamps on either side of the room, and no natural lighting as my view was blocked off by another building!…
lastly, there was a rat trap under my bed :) imagine how surprised I was when I moved the bed to see if I dropped anything down the sides, seeing a rat trap/poison box. No amount of pleading with the hotel will do anything. Even trip.com customer service agreed I went through an ordeal. Do NOT book this.
