Brussels hotels in Ixelles

Pros: Value for money, Good breakfast.

Cons: very small toilet/shower. Too long a walk into the city for older people, or those with walking difficulties

Pros: My room was cosy with a spacious and nicely lit bathroom.

Cons: During the past year the hotel has become a completely non-smoking institution, however, the when making reservations, the option of a smoking room was still available, which led to disappointment upon arrival. However, this could be a problem within the booking system and not the hotel's fault.

Pros: Very comfortable hotel, lovely, stpacious room with good bed (top floor of hotel). Unfortunately no wifi reception in room , needed to move to the bar to do emails. Breakfast was excellent staff was very friendly. I come to Brussels often for work at the parliament and would certainly book Louise again.

Pros: Nice location, next to shopping street, and also close to center (20min walk)

Cons: Staff is not very friendly. Breakfast in the last 45minutes is not the same, selection is smaller, no replacement for foods that are already finished

Pros: Low budget hotel. Good location for shopping and easy to get toCentral locations.

Cons: In need of some modernisation in the decor in the reception and room. Needs a bit of life within the building. The suggestion of 'up grading' to an 'executive room '- a bit far fetched.

Pros: Big clean en suite rooms; Good Breakfast; Staff helpful; Not far from Trams & Metro;

Pros: very quite hotel

Cons: central heating with oil smelled

Pros: Nothing!

Cons: Too much noise, terrible decoration, poor room quality

Pros: People being friendly, breakfast ok, garage available

Cons: Room very small (I booked double for single rate - the room was definitely a single room despite a double bed), hotel somewhat run down despite renovation being claimed to have been done recently, heating difficult to regulate, strange smell in whole of hotel (smelled like oil), did not get non-smoking room, no telephone list found in the rrom

Cons: Parking facilities

Pros: lovely stay enjoyed brussels great place ......

Pros: The proximity to the EU institutions

Pros: The room was well decorated with adequate furniture, close to the business district and train station.

Cons: The charge for extra linen was 20 euros a day, which I thought was absurd, they also charged 20 euro a day for parking and 10 euros a day for internet. overall we could have stayed at a nearby hotel that included all of those things for less money than we spent.

Pros: The opportunity to be in my own flat, with a separate bedroom and living room, and to prepare my own breakfast.

Cons: Only the fact that the curtains in the living room did not cover the whole window.

Pros: appartment style room, very spacious, separate bedroom, location

Pros: spacious room, excellent location

Pros: The fact that it felt like a home and not a hotel room. It was spacious and clean near the places I need to be.

Cons: I wish that the Pool was free, And if the instructions on useing the Washing machine were a little more clearer.

Pros: Size of room

Cons: no tea or coffee in the room.

Cons: It is not suitable for me to pay all the prise of hotel at ones, I would like to pay on the 3rd day of my staytment.

Pros: Excelent location, very clean appartments and service. It is very recommendable.

Cons: It would be great to have breakfast at the hotel, and not a suggested cafeteria on the street.

Pros: The location was excellent, and with weekend rates it was especially useful when needing to stay in Brussels between a Friday and Monday. Very spacious.

Cons: The bathrooms could have been more updated, as they were rather stark and some fixtures were plastic.

Pros: Cleaness of the room, confort, facilities offered

Cons: The reception desk was always very bussy and I have to queue many minutes to get served. The Hotel charged me a guarantee per night of stay although I payed the invoice on arrival. The room entrace key card was dezactivated often and I have to get to reception to get activated.

Pros: The appartments are very good located, very clean and have everything necessary for short or long term stay. Staff is helpful and friendly (although in Renessance Hotel nearby). Location is excellent, approximity to EC and Parliament, major shopping streets, excellent public transport

Cons: The appartments might be comfortable and quite but our bedroom was just above the garage doors which were opening/closingthe whole night - we woke up everytime this happens. In my opinion management of the 5 star hotel should be aware of things like this and prevent renting such rooms. We stayed two night, otherwise we would heavily compalin. Please check location of the room before deciding to enter.

Pros: breakfast - great diversity, good cooking

Cons: heating was not so great and the water was heated using a boiler :):):) come on...we had to take showers at 30 mins minimum distance or else...an icy shower :)

Pros: the location and the size of the room

Cons: the fire alarm started three times (we requested a smoking room) but we were not smoking; we called the receptionist and when the team arrived to find out what the problem is they insisted to open the window while we smoke (which we awas did) allthough we tried explaining that we weren't smoking (we just entered the room after being gone for 6 hours)

Pros: Location is good. Very quiet area with excellent transport links to the city centre. Large appartment with good facilities. Needed to stay an additional night due to chaos with Eurostar. Staff were excellent in sorting out our needs and we stayed an extra night at the same discounted rate. Reception staff were always very helpful.

Cons: The internal soundproofing could be better; a noisy family were in the appartment above and could be heard late into the night. Cleaning staff opened a window which was left open all day with temperatures at -10C! You breakfast in the Rennaisance hotel next door, and whilst breakfast is excellent, the staff are constantly hovering to take your plate away. Hint- take breakfast early as it gets very busy.

Pros: The overall standard was good.

Cons: We requested adjacent rooms when we booked. It was so important to us that I telephoned the hotel 10 days before arrival to re(iterate this request and was assured that it was duly noted. We were meeting family for a weekend break - we live in different countries. With a small child we could only socialise with family in the evenings and use the baby monitor in adjacent rooms. We were not given adjacent rooms - the rooms were on different floors. Despite numerous requests and explanations the hotel refused to help. They were extremely unhelpful and made us wait almost 2 hours before they refused, yet again, to help. They told us that check in was busy so we'd have to wait! Even when we offered to pay a supplement to be moved into adjacent rooms they refused to help telling us that by now (2 hours after our initial request) the hotel was completely full! This meant that we were unable to spend evenings together - the whole point of the trip. The heating in our apartment did not work at all. It was very cold and we had to rely on plug in electric heaters which were hot and dangerous for our toddler. There was no kettle as advertised. Several light bulbs did not work. The remote control for the television in the bedroom did not work. The dishwasher was dangerous as it was not secured into position and , in fact, tipped up on 2 occasions.

Pros: Wonderful, spacious and perferctly clean rooms, very well furnished, kitchen with all amenities, excellent position, extremely comfortable beds. I really appreciated the calm - nevertheless the hotel is in the city centre - and the direct access from the parking to the rooms, without having to pass through the reception every time. Perfect for business and family trips, especially for longer stays.

Cons: Just one remark: in the parking, there are certain high sidewalks and level changes which are not painted and are hardly distinguishable from the pavement.

Pros: You are paying a room rate for a suite. Also is a quiet, safe zone of Brussels.

Cons: the building is 1/2 block from the Renaisance where you make the check in and out. The building only have one person of staff from 8AM to 3PM.(and is out for lunch from 12- 1PM)and nobody on the weekends There is no breakfast in the building, only at the hotel

Pros: The apartment was spacious. Good furnishings. Excellent Breakfast. Got it for a very good price

Cons: No Steam bath as advertised. Very limited staff.

Pros: The location of the hotel, around 15 minutes from Grand Platz and with nearby restaurants. The beds are very comfortable. The breakfast very good. Very friendly staff. Free wifi.

Cons: Rooms are a bit narrow. Shower tap was not going too well in one of the rooms.

Pros: Soundproof Rooms .

Cons: The bathroom was very small , flooded with water if you take shower or bath , some of the housekeeping employee work also at breakfast buffet , which was very poor also in items & the wireless internet is not available in the room & only cable internet which means that you can not use your tablet or ipad .

Cons: The room was a bit chilly but I put on a sweater.

Pros: Friendly staff, great breakfast. Clean and tidy at all times.

Cons: Small room.

Pros: We stayed for 6 nights in July and very satisfied with our stay. We initially booked a standard room but felt it very tight for 2 people with 2 large suitcases. We were going to be there for 6 nights so we upgraded for the suite for a little extra. We did not try the restaurant or the bar. Pros: The hotel is neat, location is great. Its about 15-20 min from downtown, but very close to public transport. (Bus stop - Science or Metro: Troon) Its also very close to Luxembourg plaza and the EU Parliament. The room we stayed had street view and despite being on the road side wasnt that loud. The breakfast was a good spread. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We asked for firm beds, but since they didnt have any they were able to arrange for planks under the mattress as a workaround. They even gave us vouchers for free drinks at the bar for opting to conserve water/energy by not asking to change linens/sheets daily.

Cons: Cons: The mattress is very soft. If you have a bad back then the mattress is not good. I upgraded to the suite hoping I can use the pull out couch, but still struggled almost all of the 6 nights. The hotel tried to arrange for wooden planks to be placed under the mattress, but it only helped a little. Our room had very low internet wifi. When asked they offered a highspeed network at a cost, but it didn't matter because our room has low signal for any wifi connection.

Pros: Comfy clean room with with good bed, great breakfast, well located near centre and European district

Pros: Spacious rooms, very clean and quiet environment. One of the receptionists was kind enough to allow us print out travel documents free of charge.

Cons: Morning breakfast setting, the service was extremely poor, staff appeared uncaring and unresponsive to the needs of guests. I witnessed staff and management eating food from the breakfast buffet from their hands, in full view of seated dining guests - astounding!?

Pros: good location, good customer service

Cons: room too small, too cramped

Pros: The hotel was clean, the rooms are comfortable, the staff - polite, breakfast was tasty.

Cons: Actually the bed was noisy, so it was not convenient for a couple. Also, it is not mentioned in booking.com that we had to pay for saouna and jakusi, but it is mentioned as facility with the gym (for which we didin't have to pay). A small detail is that there was not mirror in the room, only in the toilette, so you have to wait if someone is in.
