巴拉迷笛住宅公寓酒店

The apartment was very good, very comfortable for 5 adults. The area was not the best one, walking to the apartment late at night we had to look over our shoulders constantly. Saturday morning we were woken up with a very loud noise of someone using a VAP right outside our window, and for a quite long period of time. It was after 8am, but we didn't expect that much noise on a Saturday morning.

The owner is nice, the room is clean. But I found a mouse running across my room. They changed my room but it was not a very pleasant experience.

They overcharged me at the property for “city tax”. They asked for payment in cash and I overlooked the amount being charged to me in the moment. As of now, the hotel is unwilling to waive the refund request

We were here for 1 night arriving during the air traffic control issue and this was a stop over for Eurostar. So limited exposure. The room we had was fine, it was clean but is well worn, you can see it in everything. Bed was comfy and for the few hours we were there it was fine, i wouldn't want to stay for any longer. The real downside is the local area it is horrific and i don't think that even does it justice. I'm not one to feel intimidated but this is bad gangs of men/youths hanging around, drug taking and selling in open view. If you remember Kings Cross London 25 years ago this area is worse than that. I cannot stress enough that hotel for a few hours may be fine but i wouldn't stay past that. I even considered just finding another place anywhere else but we had been travelling for 3 days. We left really early and sat in the station, which is 5min walk away as i felt safer in a station with at least security or police around.

Convenient and central location, neat and tidy accommodation with spacious rooms, helpful and friendly staff

The apartment is good, spacious and clean, and conveniently well located: very close to the train station. The area around is a bit sketchy, I wouldn't recommend walking out till very late at night. The owner was bery nice and correct.

The space was amazingly generous and would comfortably host 6 adults. It was secure and close to the train station we traveled in and out of. The neighborhood was not touristy, and might not offer much for a family, but it is we located in Brussels.

Great location near Brussels Station but quite noisy area.

Spacious and clean

Charged extra at check-in for a third person (child), promised not to charge for late check-in over email, but then asked for more money on top at check-in and the after check-out took it out of my card without my permission. The wrong room was provided, hotel rep left us with the wrong key so we couldn't leave the hotel that evening. Bed sheets seemed washed but had hair on them. No soap to wash hands with in the toilet. Just a horrible experience...

Wonderful place, close to restaurants & breweries. Parking is literally across the street from Cantillon. The room was very nice, the shower got immediately hot & lots of pressure. My gorgeous host was very polite, knowlegable of the area & spoke perfect english. I made a second reservation for my last night here because I liked it so much.

I'd read the reviews before selecting Bara Midi, and was in two minds about it, however we were arriving in a rental car, and departing on the Eurostar, so the location made sense. I'd also looked at hotels in the area, and while prices were similar I was shooting for more space than a hotel room offered. On arrival in the area the streets were covered in litter - more specifically cardboard boxes - and it was certainly looking a little dingy and rough as others had said. As it turned out it was 'cardboard recycling night', so the next morning all the rubbish had disappeared. By walking to the plaza(about 100m), from which you can see Gare Midi, the neighbourhood feels completely different! There is a huge and glamourous Pullman beside the train station, and the shops, bars and restaurants around the big roundabout are lovely. However, there was a street fight outside our window on the first night, between 4 men. at least the hotel has two secure doors before even reaching any of the apartments. I wouldn't stay here again because our particular room was very small and I could have got an equivalent sized room of higher quality at the Pullman. The lift fits a couple of suitcases and one person, and the stairwell is tiny and tight. Having said that, I've read that there are larger more spacious rooms here. Their check-in hours show on the site as up to 10pm, but the receptionist was chasing us by phone and messaging, from 7pm. Not bad, but there are comprises.

The elevator was broken and give the narrow and winding staircase going to the fourth floor was an adventure. That being said the apartment was beautiful. Given the level of security and the look of the neighborhood it is not the best part of town. Yet, once inside it is safe. It’s location to the train is excellent as well.

Booked a family suite for 5 - and were very happy with the accommodation indeed. The stairs were a challenge with cases and the lift was very small but other than that it was excellent.

Liked the property. The location was a bit iffy especially at night. Too much of noise

Had a lovely 3 night stay at Bara Midi. Apartment was ideal size for our family of 4 was well equipped, comfortable and very clean. Great location across the road from Midi station and only a short walk to city centre. Staff were friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay here again.

Positive: nice interior decoration, no redeposit was charged Negative: * the area is not only noisy at night but also rough and unclean * 15 Euros extra charge for check-in between 10-12 pm * Towels looked very old and were ripped from sides * We paid in total nearly £100 for staying of what the receptionist called it "a residence not a hotel" we could have stayed in a proper hotel for a little bit more even if it’s far from the station * Staying in First floor studio flat had far too many issues: * the reception is very close to the flat, no air-condition, we just left the fan on and felt unsafe to leave windows open so imagine how hot it gets at night (we were scared to leave the window open someone can jump plus the noise was unbearable) Finally, I really wish if we have listened to other travellers and yes the receptionist has an attitude, he has told us that he had to wait for us until 10:30 then 5 mins later he said he was waiting for someone else, he said we should keep the kitchen clean WHAT A JOKE.

Parking needs to pay extra $20 per night, which is expensive.

The property had many positive items in its favour. The location to the Bara Midi train station was very good and allowed us to walk from and to the station with our luggage. It had a well equipped kitchen and a separate bedroom; it was bright, spacious relatively quiet. The balconies were an added bonus. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Although all toilet paper had to be placed in a separate receptacle and not flushed down the toilet itself (it being understood that the plumbing in this older building had its limitations) our receptacle was not emptied in the two days that we stayed. This should be addressed. Otherwise good value for money.

Location was close to Midi station so was well positioned for few minutes walk to the Flibco shuttle bus stop for Charleroi airport. Apartments felt secure - code lock outer door then key fob inner door before going upstairs to apartment. Good price - had checked out other places in area and this gave a lot more than any similarly priced.
