Overall:

"Clemenceau subway only 5 mins walk can get you most places so was nicely situated, only disappointment was the hotel bar no one in it staff only arrive when u ring bell but with a bar 2 mins across the road not too big a problem,price for rooms nicely affordable breakfast is included so overall would recommend." — source Hostelworld

"one thing i would recommend to do in brussels would be to visit the flea market on Sundays." — source Hostelworld

"All in all i would highly recommend it." — source Hostelworld

Clean:

Service:

"HOWEVER, the hotel is at least a 20min walk from the main city, the hotel staff are VERY rude (I asked the concierge for directions on bus services and was told to put some effort into it myself) and the location of the hotel is in a dodgy area surrounded by dirty old bars and trash." — source Hostelworld

"The free shuttle service was a big plus (it takes you to the Grand Place and Gare Midi train station." — source Hostelworld

"They have a shutter service to the midi train station, this is very convenience for backpackers." — source Hostelworld

"Really nice and helpful staff, really clean hotel. Shuttle service was so useful." — source Hostelworld

"Extra friendly staff go out there way to help you out and find things out for you." — source Hostelworld

Location:

"rooms were very small, but there was a TV that had some english channels , and once we got the tv itself fixed ( it wasn't working when we arrived) the stay was much more enjoyable, there were movies on every night hahaha also, it's not located in the cleanest part of the city and i wouldn't have wanted to walk there after dark." — source Hostelworld

"It take only 10min by walk to get in Brussels downtown. And they have a free shuttle that make transport between gare du midi and the hotel and also to the downtown in the evening." — source Hostelworld

"location of the hotel is different than the one marked on the map in hostelworld - that's very confusing; there was no hot water in the morning." — source Hostelworld

"Location was about 23 minutes from central station by tram, a bit out of the way but the tram stop is right across the street from the hostel." — source Hostelworld

"When we got out of the cab, the driver told us to be careful because the neighborhood was kind of sketchy." — source Hostelworld

"it was such a bargain for us-a 3star hotel with a twin private room with en suite for the price of a hostel." — source Hostelworld

"The hostel is kinda old too but really really great for the price they charge." — source Hostelworld

"However, expected more from the room given its price." — source Hostelworld

"The breakfast was amazing, makes up for the price." — source Hostelworld
