Hotele w Groot-Bijgaarden

Simple, but very clean business oriented hotel. Excellent location near the E40 and on the outskirts of Brussels if you are passing through Belgium, or on business and need to meet with colleagues without having the hassle to go into the center of town and face horrible traffic. Also located 5km from the UZ Brussels hospital, convenient if you travel from abroad for appointments at this hospital. Hotel has convenient vending machines. Beds & pillows were comfortable. Lots of parking spaces, free, parking locked at night. The hotel has a restaurant, but was closed when I was there. There is an excellent restaurant a 5 min walk away at the Brussels Kart center, and a 15-20 min walk into the center of Groot Bijgaarden for cafes, brasseries, restaurants. It is appropriate for business travel and ”passing through” travel, not for tourism of Brussels. Good value.

With a stay at European District Studios in Brussels (Upper Town), you'll be within a 10-minute drive of La Grand Place and Royal Palace of Brussels. This apartment is 1.8 mi (2.9 km) from European Union Parliament Building and 2.4 mi (3.9 km) from Avenue Louise.Make yourself at home in one of the 14 individually decorated guestrooms, featuring kitchens with refrigerators and ovens. Smart televisions with digital programming provide entertainment, while complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected. Conveniences include desks and separate sitting areas.

Stayed here two nights in mid-January 2023. Hotel is located in a gritty area, with much construction, but just a five minute walk to the main train station, with many transit connections. It's about a 10 - 20 minute walk to various tourist sites in the city. There are convenience stores and dining options nearby. Staff was OK but not overly friendly. Single room was small, but clean and the price was fair. There was a heating/AC unit on the wall but one button was missing and it didn't appear to be working. Temp was OK. There was a small desk and chair. Shower and sink were in the room and toilet in a small closet. The window opened into a narrow ventilation shaft so it was rather dark. Wifi, lights and TV worked fine. I didn't pay for the breakfast. It wasn't great, but it did the trick.

The airport is about 20 mins from the hotel and cost about EUR46. As we arrived early morning into Brussels, we were able to leave our luggage at the hotel and go for a wonder into the city. The hotel also due to availability allowed earlier check in later in the day which was ideal. The location of the hotel was perfect as we were within 10 mins walking location of all the major tourist sights including Grand Place, Mannekin Pis, Choco Museum as well as some historical stunning Churches, some of which were literally on the other side of the hotel. The hotel is surrounded by many different restaurants and cafes - of all budgets including so many halal options which was a total surprise. There are also supermarkets within walking distance for water/snacks etc. Room was cleaned everyday and all staff were always friendly and attentive. Facilities in the room include tea/coffee making and one bottle of water as well as the standard things. Breakfast - excellent variety, plentiful, fresh and delicious and all staff were very friendly and cheerful especially towards children which was great to see. Worth paying extra to include breakfast. Swimming Pool - small but was ideal and my son enjoyed this, shallow water which is perfect for children. There is also some gaming/fun for children in the lounge. Again due to late evening flight, we were able to leave our luggage and do last minute shopping and a visit to the Choco Museum. We really enjoyed our stay here and would definitely stay here again if we visit Brussels and would highly recommend to anyone visiting the city.

We really liked the hotel itself and it was all newly renovated and looked good and was tidy, both lobby, stairway/elevator and room. The room was big but with basic interior, like nightstands were stools from Ikea. There was no refrigerator which was inconvenient in the heat. The hotel is rather close to the city center and only takes about 10 minutes to walk to the city center, however the hotel seems to be located in a sketchy neighbourhood and not many tourists in the area. We were recommended by locals to take a taxi/uber back to the hotel during the nights.

Nice I recommend

B And B Brussels is pretty much what i want in a hotel It's a refinished brand name hotel that has a bit of a hostel vibe. It is *****ped back in a good way. The bed is great. The bathroom is good hotel standard. The towels are big, fluffy and clean. There are no wardrobes. Who cares? There are hangers on a rail. There is a small wall safe. There are two coffee mugs and a good espresso machine down the hall. So much better than instant in the room. The iron and ironing board is also down the hall, fine, i don't often use ironing boards. This makes sense. There is no phone. Contact reception using WhatsApp. Easy peasy. The Wifi is free and good. There is parking, gym, and nightly cinema. Good standard breakfast buffet. Good location. I'll be back. I'm a happy guest.

We had been on a coach trip all around Europe, and stayed at this ”hotel” on our way back to Calais. I can honestly say it was the worst place I have ever stayed in. It was dark, and dingy, no decent lighting. We arrived about 8pm, all hungry, and we had a choice of 2 stews or pizza. The room was so tiny, we could not put 2 cases anywhere, I ended up putting mine by the door, which, really, would have been a fire hazard, as you couldn't get to the door in an emergency. The curtains were hanging off the rail, the pictures were all crooked, walls were thin, and we could hear everything our neighbours were saying. No tea or coffee in the room. One of our group, their room wasn't even ready, it was disgusting. Breakfast was awful, just ”continental”. The ”hot” water for tea, was luke warm. Could not use. The toaster didn't work properly and the staff ended up taking it away! As said before, the lighting was practically non-existent, could not see what you were eating. Coach companies - DO NOT USE THIS PLACE. It put a really damper on our otherwise great holiday. In the morning, our drivers ended up collecting all the cases from the rooms because ”the porterage person” hadn't turned up that day!!

We stayed here for one night while travelling by train from Ostend to London. The hotel is situated opposite the Gare de Midi in an 'edgy' part of the city which felt very intimidating particularly later in the day - there were numerous inebriated people and beggars around. The road outside the hotel is very busy. Check-in was friendly and efficient. We had a room on the 4th floor. There is one small lift to all floors which is insufficient for the size of hotel. Our room was very small - barely enough room to walk around the double bed and to include a suitcase.- strangely the bathroom had plenty of room. There was a disproportionately large TV dominating the room. The big window opened fully onto courtyards that had decades worth of building material dumped in them - but, on the upside , there was no street noise at all. The air-conditioning was barely able to keep the room cool, so the opening window was needed. The breakfast area was equally undersized with far too many guests crammed in a small area all getting in the way of the staff doing their best to try to keep the room tidy. The breakfast was best described as 'adequate' - certainly nothing special, and definitely not relaxing. The price is set by the location of this hotel close to the main international rail station, but for the size of the room, and the unpleasant area outside, coupled with the mediocre breakfast - the price we paid was far too high.

+: 1) The contact person / owner is good. His reply is fast when we asked him some questions by WhatsApp. 2) The location is not bad. Around 8 min walk to metro station and 2-3 stops to the town. And there are stores and supermarket neaby. 3) The open kitchen is perfect. It is big with enough facilities for you to cook. 4) The house is clean. 5) The owner allow us to store our luggage in kitchen after we come back overnight from other city. -: 1) We live in 3rd floor of the house without lift. We need to take the heavy luggages to the room by the narrow stairs. Although we can put in the kitchen, it is not convenient. 2) The room is little bit stuffy but the fan is too noisy. It is not enough to open the window .
