Hotels Near Halle Gate in Brussels

Back in Brussels for the weekend, my partner comes regularly for work so we opted for this hotel as much cheaper than options in the tourist areas. Was pleasantly surprised how nice this hotel was, clean and modern in the lobby with a bar (that was always deserted). We'd booked a King Deluxe Room and the friendly guy kept referring to it as a 'suite' - whether we'd been moved up a level I don't know, but the room was huge - and recently refurbished. Our room was located in the further section of the hotel, down a corridor. The hotel was quiet and we slept well, the room had a full kitchen, even with a dishwasher. The only negatives were not enough plug sockets and the toilet was by the door, the rest of the bathroom was around the other side, my partner who works and stays in Belgium regularly advised this is becoming more of the norm but was the first time I had experienced it, and a bit annoying in the night when you're full of belgian beer... Hotel isn't located in the most picturesque area but never felt unsafe, you experience more unsavoury characters around Brussels Midi Station. Very close to the Saint Gilles Square where the eateries and bars were bustling, this is more of a local area but everyone is welcome, and food and drinks are half the price of the area around Grand Place. Close to a metro station to visit the rest of the city, and you can walk to Midi station in around 10-15 minutes (note that this walk towards the hotel is slightly uphill)!

I stayed recently with my family and feel the hotel suited our needs. The room was one of the largest ones I have had in a hotel so there was plenty of room for us all. Cleanliness wise it was good. The bathroom seemed a bit old and could probably do with a bit of a refresh but apart from that it was all okay. We had an issue with our window not closing and someone was up within 5 mins to fix it which was great. We also had someone come up on another day to check everything was okay we reported a couple of broken light bulbs which again were changed very quickly. The staff were generally quite friendly apart from the reception staff who didn't really acknowledge you but the rest of them were fine. The breakfast was also good with plenty of choice. The hotel is in a bit of a run down area near the main train station but we never had any issues. I would suggest if you don't feel comfortable staying near a busy train station then you should maybe look elsewhere as the hotel can't be held responsible for the area they are in. Its a 20 min walk to the centre of Brussels so again something to be aware off. If I was returning to Brussels I would probably stay somewhere a bit closer to the centre but we did enjoy our stay here.

All staff were excellent and helpful. Convenient location right next to Gare du Midi, about 20 minutes' walk to Grand Place (ie tourist centre). Comfortable very clean room. Good breakfast. Useful later checkout time of Midday. Good wifi. The rooms are on the small side and there is a previously mentioned design fault in the bathroom which means the shower tray is too small with limited screen so it is easy to flood the floor if not careful (this would have been easy to anticipate and is frankly ridiculous) . Several power points in room but no kettle and there was no free tea/coffee as mentioned in previous reviews except at breakfast (so bring your own kettle and cups etc if you enjoy hot beverages in the room). The breakfast area is also very cramped and gets awkward getting food when there are more than a few people there. I can't help but feel a bit of attention at the design stage would have remedied a lot of these problems. The area the hotel is located in may be a little seedy for some - similar to areas near big stations in many large European cities . But it is only 3 minutes walk from Eurostar arrival.

Rather clean room, very comfortable bed, good welcome. I only stayed one night to catch the train early the next day, so it was well suited, located opposite the Gare du Midi, 3 mins on foot. Only downside we hear a little noise in the hallway but it did not prevent me from sleeping

Stayed here two nights in mid-January 2023. Hotel is located in a gritty area, with much construction, but just a five minute walk to the main train station, with many transit connections. It's about a 10 - 20 minute walk to various tourist sites in the city. There are convenience stores and dining options nearby. Staff was OK but not overly friendly. Single room was small, but clean and the price was fair. There was a heating/AC unit on the wall but one button was missing and it didn't appear to be working. Temp was OK. There was a small desk and chair. Shower and sink were in the room and toilet in a small closet. The window opened into a narrow ventilation shaft so it was rather dark. Wifi, lights and TV worked fine. I didn't pay for the breakfast. It wasn't great, but it did the trick.

Because hotels around the electronic music festival have a lot of premiums, this is the most cost-effective hotel nearby. The room is new, and there are no reviews online. It is considered a blind box, and I was afraid of making mistakes. The result is much better than expected, and the price/performance ratio is excellent. I arrived at the hotel early. I couldn't get up early. They said it had to be at 3 o'clock, so I had breakfast on the first floor of the hotel. It cost 9 euros and the taste was okay. Later, I went out for a walk, and when I came back here, I checked in at around 2 o'clock. There is a 24-hour Carrefour next to it, which is very convenient. I brought two packs of instant noodles from China, but I was worried that there would be no containers. It turns out there is a lounge on the -1st floor of the hotel, including a microwave, hot water and coffee machine, which is very convenient. You can store your luggage before check-in and after check-out

Have been travelling since last 2+ weeks and stayed in 6 different hotels around Spain and France. Finally found the perfect hotel!! A hotel that has everything we hoped for. Spacious room, comfortable bed and pillows. Air conditioning that actually works. Bathroom big size. Tea coffee making facility. Got a fan on request (it’s cold but needed it for white noise) Welcoming and helpful reception staff. Spa, hot pool, steam room, fitness room were the plus points. Near to Zuid/Midi (walking distance). Also metro and trams are nearby. Sorry I could give only 5 starts..!

This hotel is nicely decorated and clean. The rooms were compact and the bathrooms very nice. The staff were very pleasant. There is a small lounge but no bar and breakfast facilities only. It appeared to offer B&B services only. So outside breakfast there is no where to sit and have a drink. I found there were no facilities in the room to give that extra touch of comfort. If you want a drink or coffee outside of breakfast. They have a Nespresso machine in reception from which they will make you coffee (the charge is additional). We booked breakfast for 3 days but after the 1st one, we decided to seek a refund and go out. It wasn’t as nice as we expected the hot food was not kept at an adequate temperature by the time you served it, it was cold. The cold items were the opposite. The coffee at breakfast wasn’t good either ( I can usually find a good coffee sets you up for the day) All in all not very appetising. We requested an extra pillow and blanket after finding the room temperature dropped at night. They were unable to help, but did provide us with an extra sheet on our last night. Overall, the hotel is well maintained but the services and hospitality need further development. The little things like a coffee machine or at least a kettle in the room would have made all the difference. They were unable to cope with the guest requests for an extra blanket which seemed odd. The area the hotel is in is also worthy of a mention. I felt safe in Brussels over all, it’s very multicultural. However, there were spots where groups of men who were drugged/or drinking habituated. There were places on the surrounding streets where there was clearly human debris and homeless persons belongings ….needless to say it was really unpleasant. In the square outside the hotel groups of men drinking and drugged were frequent. The roads into town were being updated/ dug up. So it was really muddy and barren in the area. Once in the centre of the city this was less noticeable.

We came to Brussels for two nights. We booked a single room, number 503, in the Brxxl5 hotel. From the first night we were literally devoured by bedbugs. In the morning we were even able to “cross paths” with them because they were so huge (see photo). We informed the staff, in particular a certain Ana at reception for whom it was obviously not her problem because I quote ”she does not take care of the cleaning but of the arrival of customers” so the customer service stops there, simply to cash in. After being accused by the latter of having brought in bedbugs, they guaranteed us a full refund. Which obviously wasn't done and now they no longer respond to emails. Apart from that, no hot water, smell of urine in the corridors. In short, we spent our 2 weekend days managing the problem between pharmacy, finding a new hotel, new clothes etc... Run away!!!

The hotel Siru is particularly good for those who are required to be in the offices around the North Station or who wish to explore Brussels. The access door is defect and therefore you need to enter the hotel next door. The people at the reception are friendly and helpful. The room is OK, small and just, but also with a proper bed, desk, stop contacts and USB gates for example to load a phone, large box. The darkness cord is just too small, which makes you not able to dark the room. The door has dirty lining traces and a evacuation plan is missing. The room has coffee and water. The bathroom with toilet, lavabo and shower is also small. There are towels, soaps, etc. However, the shower is hardly going through and is packed with smooth tiles with polluted fittings (i.e. fungi), and the toilet is hardly swallowing through. Unfortunately, there is a lot of noise at night: street noise from the square, but also a lot of disturbing sounds from the top bathrooms and showers. I suspect that there are also a lot of people who have to stay at the airport because from 4.30 you hear people leave the room and the corridor.... Often with stinging doors. The breakfast is OK: good coffee (but only one machine...) and fruit juice, enough choice of bread and coating, cheese, sauces, cheese, charcuterie and even fruitsla. The hotel is not clean enough, so you often have to sit on a table where the stitches, dirty cups and the cover of old guests were left. I cannot recommend this hotel. The number of negative points is too high. And so, the price and quality of the offers are not in balance, and I will not come back here.
