Negative Reviews
negative:
Signs of wear and tear
Some reviewers had grumbles about the condition of a few facilities encountered during their otherwise largely comfortable stays. These included occasional reports of mold in showers, aging lighting, stains and tired carpets.
negative:
Location not ideal for sightseeing
Many visitors said they liked the location saying there was plenty to see and do nearby. But for some it was a little far from the center of things. Remember it's about a 30-minute walk to the Grand Place in the middle of Brussels so if sightseeing is high on your agenda you might want to consider this.
negative:
Winter chills
Although not a widely reported issue, a few reviewers visiting in the winter months described feeling cold in their rooms. If you're a bit sensitive to colder weather it is worth noting there were accounts of staff providing additional heaters for affected guests.
