Reviews
The hotel's location is truly unbeatable. It's situated in a quiet, peaceful area, ensuring a restful night's sleep without the usual city noise. Despite this tranquility, the hotel is incredibly well-connected with excellent transport links nearby, making it easy to navigate around Brussels and explore its many attractions. Additionally, there are plenty of local shops and amenities in the vicinity, allowing for convenient access to anything you might need during your stay.
Overall, Progress Hotel is an ideal choice for anyone visiting Brussels. With its combination of cleanliness, modern facilities, convenient location, and peaceful ambiance, I highly recommend this hotel and will definitely be returning if I visit Brussels again.
I missed the luxury of real glasses/cups, the coffee corner had little to offer. The coffee itself was nice.
Upon closer inspection, our ceiling light did not work, the socket next to the bed did not work either and the bed itself was made with bedding made of some kind of plastic. Very warm and sweaty.
The toilet brush was missing half, the pedal of the trash can was broken and the toilet bowl was still dirty from the previous stay.
After we handed in this list at check-out, we got an 'I will pass it on' and that was it.
To be honest, I had higher expectations of a hotel in Brussels Center.
On a positive note, the hotel's location is very convenient, being close to train and tram stations and within easy reach of the city center. Overall, while the location is great, the hotel could benefit from some updates and improved customer service to match its 4-star rating.
