2 star European Quarter hotels in Brussels, Belgium

Always an absolute pleasure, this was my 5th visit in two years: I am looked after very well, my room is comfortable, clean and quiet, and I love the funky quirkiness of the place, a place which has an unique ambience that seems so much more than the sum of its designer fixtures and fittings....

The hotel itself was very central, close to the office where I was working and all the tourist sights. The staff was very polite, the room was always well kept and clean, towels were changed everyday and they always left me towels for 2 people. The only thing that was needed was that the hotel should have a little restaurant or cafe to make it easier to get a snack (especially in Brussels where it seems to be always raining), because the nearest restaurants were about 4 blocks away and so were the grocery stores. Overall, I enjoyed my stay at the Hotel Lambeau.

I was asked to pay on arrival before seeing the room - this should have been a warning. Good location for what I was doing, but this hotel needs an update. First appearance of the room was good, but it wasn't very clean. The pillow was stained, the shower cubical was dirty, the towel rail had fallen off the wall, and the toilet tilted sideways when you sit on it (rotten floor underneath?). The lights wobbled about when the people upstairs walk about. Breakfast was basic (boiled eggs, croissants, coffee) but good enough. The hotel reception guard the breakfast carefully - I'd already paid but they checked the computer before allowing me access.

The Hotel is located right next to the European Parliament so it is very , very convienient if you are there on business. The Hotel is basic but clean and does the job, you have what you need for the price represents good value- you will find better hotels in Brussels but not for this price in this location. The staff were very polite and friendly and spoke good english.
