Overall Ratings & Reviews Budget Flats Brussels

I had stayed at a number of budget hotels in my 30+ years of traveling. Even at a budget hotel it should be clean. When I checked in, there was mold in the bathroom ceiling. After some discussion they moved me to another room which was cleaner but then the TV didn't work. I again raised this to their attention and they said only two TVs work in the buiding and they were renovating and did not have a timeline of when the TVs would be working for anyone. Even at a budget hotel mold is not acceptable and is a health issue. The listed amenity of the TV is not working so that should be removed as an amenity and that is false advertising. I shall file a formal complaint with the commission in Brussels regarding this establishment. Any room with mold should not be rented out due to health issues until appropriate measures have been taken to completely remove the mold. Travelers should also be aware that this is an older building so it does take around 5 minutes to get hot water in the shower. Also as others have pointed out there really aren't any convenience stores, grocery stores, restaurants or really anything in walking distance. I took the 98 bus (the 98 bus stop is on the street) into Brussels and it generally took around 30 minutes to get to the Grand Hall area. So you should be prepared for that if you plan to use public transportation.

Overall considering Brussels high prices this is a good value option, with some issues. The main ones being their check-in and checkouts policy. They only allow you to check-in very late and if you want to actually meet somebody within a tight 2 hour window. I think they might have the option to check in without concierge but that's a risk and I have had bad experiences in the past with other properties. Facilities are a bit dated especially the bathroom and bed had a mattress too thin and soft but overall as mentioned it was good value. Checkout is very early at 10am especially considering they don't allow you in the room before 16.

Early check in didn’t work, it’s stated that reception opens at 9am, at 9 the receptionist didn’t bother to attend to us.it’s mentioned that early checkin was possible at a fee (no time specified), I arrived and I was told it’s not possible and no refund was given.

The hostel has a staff working only few hours 9-11 am and 4:00 to 6:00 pm. If you need assistance only by phone. Drop key box to check out. NO SOAP enough for 3 days only do cleaning once a week. The worst hostel I stayed in my entire life.

I got the key to the hotel room from a nighttime key box. Then, I was so surprised because I found out there has been already someone else in that room when I opened it. So I had to find somewhere to stay at that night. I was so tired about it.

The bathroom was absolutely filthy. There were smears of what appeared to be feces on the toilet, and the gap between the sink and shower has clearly never been cleaned; there was all sorts of dirt, hair, and other miscellaneous gunk down there. The light fixture in the bedroom was full of dead flies, as well. Would not stay here again.

Very poor quality. Paint peeling of rotten wood in bathroom. One very small pillow per person (more of a cushion really). Very noisy at night as all solid floors, no carpet. Link clanked regularly. Shower doors open inwards! Generally, looks like nothing has been touched since it was built. Front desk staff were friendly and helpful however.

Despite an initial issue with the hot water, we had a pleasant stay and had everything we needed. The flats are a little further out from central Brussels than is entirely practical but the public transport links are pretty good. The room was very clean and has clearly been renovated recently. Overall would recommend to anyone travelling on a budget!

The shower was very cold...The light of room was very poor....30 mins from the square center

Great stay an easy bus ride from the city center. Room came with a microwave, kettle, and basic dishes/utensils. Good accommodation. Reception was rarely in which wasn’t an issue (but may be depending on check-in and check-out needs).

We booked in this place again after 2 years. Before covid outbreak everything was excellent, and still is. You get much more than you pay, the place is nice and tidy, the location excellent and accessible 24/7 using buses (Peterbos stop has connection to Gare du midi & Gare Centrale and by using the Meir you can get to Midi pretty early if you need so. Anderlecht is a quiet place if you re not looking for troubles, so i can't find any reason someone wont choose these flats instead of the much more expensive right in the center. If i had a complaint to say, it would be that we may wanted a little better housekeeping but it didn't bother us much. Even so, we 'll book there next time we ll find ourselves in Brussels 100%. Merci!

Belgium is known for high quality servises. And Budget Flats Brussels at Anderlecht totally was on that level. A gentleman as a manager, comfy rooms, excellent spot, total value for money. Pretty close to center by bus (86 to and from Peterbos or Willemys) or metro (Saint Guido). Even night buses for Friday/Saturday(N13 fron Gare Centrale). On our next visit to that beautiful country, we will book again for sure.

Dont over promise. I cane to this place because it said it had a washing machine, which it does, but you cannot use it because they do not have the coins. Then they sent me an email saying that they have a kitchen where I can cook my own food, I went to the supermarket, bought food, but it turns out they do not have a kitchen, which means I lost the food I bought. And then when I tried to buy a stella from the vending machine, something else came out

The place itself is clean amd nice enough. I just don’t like the check in process after 8. I mean it could have been easy if they left instructions in English.

Location is good, staff is very friendly and helpful,goodservice, but the furniture condition was very awful. Bathroom was not in good condition. There was no cupboard in the room.

The hotel is well located and close to the metro and has parking in a vicinity and so easy to get into the city centre. The only issue is that the walls are so thin and are not sound proof and it is possible to hear the neighbours talking.

Very nice hotel attendant. Not a lively location, so hotel could make use a pay dispensary for microwaveable food. Rooms are spacious, but often lighting remains inadequate (bulbs not bright enough) a common hotel, though not apartment problem. Easily remediable problems in my opinion to make this Budget Hotel even more enjoyable.

Nice spacious place. Had the basic amenities. Near public transportation and a supermarket. Walking distance from nord train station.

Concierge, manager & housekeeper were all so friendly and helpful that we truly appreciate their exceptionally kind and genuine customer service. Their personal assistance made our Brussels visit more cozy and comfortable, like home, so they're memorable as making our trip happier and more satisfied than many other hotels we've stayed at.

Excellent budget accommodation and a manager who certainly goes more than the extra mile to help his guests. A little out of the Center of Brussels but easy, inexpensive access by bus and metro. I enjoyed my stay and would choose to stay there again if I am in Brussels.
