It is not your standard ibis styles - this used to be a different hotel, and albeit it has been taken over by Accor Group, the traces of former décor are omnipresent. The room was rather tired, albeit very clean. The bed was good, we slept well, The breakfast was included, however, I would say it wasn't the best breakfast compared to other ibis styles hotels we've have experience staying at. All in all, if you're looking to spend a night and get going, this could be a good option. For a luxury/experience Brussels I would suggest staying elsewhere.

A nice hotel, friendly personal and clean. Sadly the breakfast times were absolutely confusing. The breakfast time we were told, was written next to the lift and in the room - all are different. The worst breakfast was always never prepared on time so it was difficult to plan you sightseeing/business day proper or you’ve to leave without breakfast.

We stayed for 2 nights, a Friday and Saturday and had arrived at 1pm but were told we couldn’t check in as too early although we didn’t need the room but it would of saved time as when we came back at 3.30 – there was a long line and an hour wait, so not the best start. Then our room was on the 1st floor when we’d requested a high floor (there are 8 floors). We used the stairs and were greeted by an awful smell, lots of rubbish and dirty laundry by the service lift. The corridor is dark and the carpet desperately needed vacuuming! The room view/ambiance was very disappointing as so dark and gloomy as per photos. Anyway, other than the noise outside from the trams and drunken party goers late at night – you might get some sleep if you’re not a light sleeper like me as even ear plugs couldn’t block out the noise. The bed was huge and very comfy with 2 x single duvets, room was large/clean and bathroom had a good shower/ hot water. There are only 2 pillows which are very soft, fortunately we had our own (as we had travelled by car). There is a fridge in the room and coffee/tea/kettle. Breakfast was chaos Saturday morning; everything had run out and hadn’t been replenished. Lots of people complaining and I overheard someone saying they wouldn’t be paying. The next day wasn’t quite as hectic (we went earlier to avoid the rush). Still very busy but at least there was butter for the bagels/bread and eggs in the cooked station. What we had was enjoyable especially the sausages. If you’re staying more than one night, there is the option to have a voucher for a free drink instead of housekeeping which we went for. Parking: Public car park located under the hotel and costs 22 euros per 24 hours. No discount available for hotel guests. Location: Easy to get around from here on foot although unfortunately there were quite a few homeless people/beggars in the area. With so many hotels available, we wouldn’t return to this one.

I used to stay in a luxury hotel in Southeast Asia and felt very ordinary when I first stayed. It wasn't until I moved to the next ibis that I found out how luxurious this hotel is! Safflower needs a green leaf lining! Next door Ibis is the worst hotel I have ever stayed at! No facilities, the beds are gray! breakfast! ? Laughing personally.

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.

Probably the worse experience check-in so far! We arrived early and asked politely to the staff what time is the check-in, this particular staff name Tobe M. was very rude and responded at 3pm. So we went around town and came back at 2:50pm to check-in, this staff was very unfriendly saying it was not 3:00pm yet, eventually he let us in. But overall the check-in experience was such a nigh**are. Breakfast was good though.

I stayed here with colleagues 3 times in 8 days. The first visit I was greeted by a most friendly, understanding, humorous and friendly man who could not have made the process any better. The second visit the man hadn't a smile or any warmth in his greeting. The third time possibly due to my colleague and I trying to discuss that we didn't like having to run the gauntlet of smokers outside the only entrance and it being enclosed on 3 sides we were met with distain, sarcasm, sideways looks between colleagues and frank rudeness. There was no attempt to even try to apologise, quiet the opposite in fact being told that ”it's outside so doesn't matter!” Customer service needs attention. Rooms clean, needs comfy, breakfast adequate. Restaurant available in the next door Ibis standard hotel. Staff here very pleasant. Food below average. Position was great for our needs. Plenty of car parking. Pay at reception for parking of you require a receipt otherwise the barrier doesn't give you one and you have to go back to reception to request one to be emailed to you.

The location is a certain distance from the subway. A little closer to the bus and tram station. Why the eating place nearby is a bit deserted. Hygiene feels very general. The noise of cars coming and going outside sleeping at night is very noisy. The equipment is okay, each bed has a charging port and a bedside light. If you bring a lock yourself, there are also cabinets that can be locked. Breakfast is provided, which is pretty average, but you don’t have to go out and look for it again. The toilet and bathroom are separate, which is good.

Just come home from a short two night stay at the hotel and everything was positive. Reception was down a few steps but there's a lift down for anyone who struggles with step. Check in was smooth and took less than 2 minutes . The room was very nice two single beds spaced quite close but if you are staying with friends or family this isn't an issue. Bathroom was clean and large with a bath and shower shower gel and shampoo was supplied attached to the wall in the shower. Free water daily stocked into the room fridge and also free coffee for the coffee machine. The later check out of 12 was a bonus and the hotel are happy to store luggage should you be on an evening flight. The hotel has a nice bar and all staff are friendly . The only issue would be because its such a large hotel the lifts are always busy we had to walk down the stairs from the 10th floor a few times which is a lot of steps so anyone on a higher floor just be warned if you aren't too good at walking. The area around the hotel is pretty nice a bit like a business district but venture a few streets behind and it gets a bit grim and becomes a bit more shady just a warning to have your wits about you if going that way .
