Urban Yard Hotel in Brussels

Really nice people. Good location, very convenient to the subway and train.

The hotel staff are friendly. Note that the hotel does not accept cash for payments, including the tourist tax for your stay.

The hotel itself is nice, modern, and equipped with a lift. The hotel focuses on minimalism, so you won't find a closed-door wardrobe. Both the room and toilet are equipped with a heater. The bed and latex pillows are comfortable. They also provide branded Nuxe shampoo and handwash.

Complimentary bottled water and coffee drinks are provided only on the first day of your stay.

However, there are a few areas where the hotel fell below my expectations:

No free slippers or toiletries (e.g., toothbrush and toothpaste) are provided.

The water flow from the shower is weak, although still bearable.

No fridge in the room.

You need to request an electric kettle from the receptionist. (How much would it cost to place one in each room?)

The most disappointing factor is that the air conditioner did not allow me to select "cold" mode during my stay in mid-April—it only had "heat" mode. Seriously?

Also, if you plan to store your luggage overnight at the hotel, it won't be possible as they do not accept overnight storage.

Location note:
The hotel is located about 500 metres from Bruxelles-Midi / Brussel-Zuid station. It can be quite scary walking from the train station to the hotel at night, as the surrounding area is occupied by African shops and residences. This may not be convenient for female travellers.

If your budget allows, I suggest staying at the Pullman, which is adjacent to the train station, especially if you need to catch an early train the next day. Otherwise, consider staying near Grand Place.

Nicely designed and allocated small hotel. Rooms are pretty and photogenic without losing the practical aspects of accommodation. Breakfast was great without feeling over crowded like most hotel of this scale. Staffs were very helpful and attentive. Location wise is a little let down but then again is not the hotel problem. It is about a 10-20 mins walk to nearby attractions but this 10-15 mins is through a pretty rough looking neighbour.

Beautiful friendly establishment and own practical are not far from the points of interest

I stayed at Urban Yard Hotel for a business trip, traveling alone, and overall had a good experience.
The hotel itself has a very cool, modern vibe with a unique design that stands out from more standard business hotels. The room was clean, comfortable, and functional—well suited for a short work stay, with everything I needed to relax and recharge.
One of the main advantages is the location, especially being right next to the train station, which makes commuting and getting around very convenient. For business travel, that’s definitely a strong plus.
That said, the immediate surrounding area may feel a bit rough or unsettling for some people, particularly at night. I personally didn’t encounter any issues, but it’s something to be aware of if you’re not familiar with the neighborhood or are sensitive to that kind of environment.
Service was efficient and straightforward, and everything ran smoothly during my stay.
Overall, Urban Yard Hotel is a solid choice for business travelers looking for convenience and a stylish place to stay—just with a location that might not suit everyone.

The environment is great, and the service is excellent. It's super convenient to get around as it's right next to the train station. They change the sheets every day and clean daily, which I really appreciate. Plus, the price is very reasonable.
