Was in a good location with a lot of restaurants and a supermarket underneath. The Grand Place is just a 20min walk away which did not bother us a lot, as we got to explore the city on foot. The host, an old man was really welcoming. There was free coffee and fruit to take all the time. We were very happy about that. The bathroom was abit unconveniently designed, the shower head and no platform to keep my toileteries. Overall a good stay for a night

I would definitely love to stay here again! The staff were incredibly welcoming and accommodating throughout my stay. I wasn’t expecting room service, so it was a pleasant surprise to return from a long day of sightseeing to find my bed made and the room spotless. Not many hotels offer this kind of service anymore, and I really appreciated the extra care. I will be recommending this hotel to friends and family. Thank you Hotel Retro Staff!

Lovely place to stay, staff were friendly and helpful. The only downside is that it was quite noisy, the doors are heavy to shut and this sound travelled, especially at night. The building next door were load and the windows/ walls didn't keep out much noise, with shouting/ singing and sirens from the road coming through. but all in all a lovely place to stay!

Good value for money

This hotel is well located - a 15 minute (albeit sketchy) walk from Brussels Nord train station. It was good price for money in the sense that it wasn't too expensive for a decent property. The room was clean and serviceable. The staff was great!

At check in, receptionist (Kaan) was so kind and helpful. Staff was fine during the stay. Room is clean, effective and warm. Location is very good near Botanique and 20m from Gillon tram station.It’s something minor but for me the bed could be a little better. Price is acceptable.

Disliked: Amenities
The property had a comfortable, good sized double bed, with nice memory foam pillows. The shower was excellent with good pressure and hot water which can be lacking at some cheaper hotels. There was a shop just outside the entrance which was convenient. The surrounding area was sketchy, and the walk from the north station was not family friendly. the windows were not remotely soundproof and there were trams passing all night which made for a rough nights sleep. Overall did what it needed to do, a place to sleep and shower but wouldn’t recommend to a friend.

Delivers nicely what it promises

This is a very decent, modern-designed 3* hotel that is most often great value for money (i.e. under 100 euros per night). If one takes bigger double room (20 m2) then it is very comfortable. Staff is very pleasant and efficient - gave me free bottles of water after clubbing. Did not try their 15 euros breakfast. The only issue could be location that is not in the ideal neighborhood. But both metro and tram station (and bus 272 for airport) are just few metres away so you can easily spend your evenings in nicer areas. Otherwise, there is a very nice bar of nhow hotel across the road and great late night Le Snack Botanique around the corner....Several chain markets (Carrefour, Delhaize) are only couple of minutes walk.

The area is so close to everything and made things easier. The room I had, 203 at the other side of the building was having The heater faulty and the room wasn't clean at all. Flooring was dusty and full of long black hair and inside the safe was a rotten and smelly pack of salami. I have informed reception about it and all they offered were some blankets not even apologising. Really poor sleep.
