“Overall good deal”

Hotel is in a seemingly decent location. Short walk to metro stop. Room was small, bathroom had milldew. Breakfast was good. Overall, a good deal if you just need a place to sleep while visiting.

“Nice hotel”

Nice hotel, located in a residential area,10mins walk to Louise Ave. The hotel is a tad old but clean and nice, the rooms and baths were huge and very comfortable. The staff was a little bit cold and not that helpful. Nice breakfast included!

“Good value”

The staff was very accomodating.... The bathroom was missing a mirror that did cause a slight inconvenience.

“Not the best, not the worst.”

I stayed at this hotel for 4 nights along with a friend. Also, two other friends were in another room. Our room, #56, was alright. It was quite large and the two twin beds were comfortable. There was a lot of mold on the exterior wall, that was unpleasant. Our friends were in #54 and their room was quite dreadful. The first thought upon walking in was "dorm room". It had one window with a ladder to access it. There was one outlet that was near the door so it wasn't useable from the bathroom. The water faucet stayed on the entire time. The front desk staff wasn't helpful at all. We went to happy hour one night and each had a drink, "buy one get one free". We were charged for all the drinks. The hotel has a lot of stairs, difficult to get luggage up them.

“Never ever stay here.”

I have no idea how this hotel has any good reviews. First it has no elevator, so plan on hoofing your bag up a lot of stairs. The rooms are not very clean and the hotel is in dire need of work. The surrounding area is not very nice and the restaurants that are close by are not very good. The staff at the hotel is not very friendly or helpful. I purchased a space for my rental car while I was there and everythime I went to park there a hotel staffers car was in the way. I had to go track someone down to move their car so I could park in the sapce I was paying 15 euro a day for. Stay anywhere in Brussels but here.

“Fair/Average”

Cons: old hotel, musty, no AC in Exec Double; classic rooms have AC. (In pm, room was sunny-hot in Sept.) Pros: staff-Maelle & our nice maid-breakfast & location. Cost not justified in our opinion. Public areas are pretty; breakfast room cheery, but cost should be lower for this level. Our room-3rd floor-was large, but showed age. Bathroom spacious, but also old; needed help. One of the tall windows would not close, and with the damp, moisture collected; so had nicotine (dirt?). There was a safe, in-room minibar/fridge (great) and high ceilings but curtains were oppressive and a bit soiled. Flatscreen TV. But room was fatigued, with beds like spongy foam; & floor had rundown carpet. Room faced Rue Veydt, with am/pm racket (US students opposite+construction = earplugs); interior rooms quieter. Staff allowed us to store luggage until check-in (check-in was tedious), & they called a cab for us; internet, while pricey, was fine at public space. Despite issues, hotel (our least fave part of trip) didn't dampen love for Belgium or Brussels. Maybe for a night OK, but best to get a diff place for longer stays, tho anywhere near Avenue Louise is a great base.

“a charming hotel”

My recent stay at the Louise Hotel was just lovely. The hotel is situated on a quiet residential street just off the Avenue Louise. The location was just a short tram ride from many of Brussels' major attractions. As a solo female traveler I felt safe in the area around the hotel, and very safe staying in the Hotel Louise itself. I believe the hotel was recently renovated. The room was comfortable and had all the basic amenities. Off of the hotel lobby there is a cozy lounge with a small bar, and a room with a computer that guests may use. For me, the best part of the Louise Hotel is the delightful breakfast. The contiental breakfast included a buffet of pastries and breads, meats and cheeses, with a couple hot items (bacon and eggs) and a selection of cereals, yogurt and fruit salad. I was very impressed by the variety, having stayed at other European hotels where "breakfast" is a basket of stale rolls. I would definitely recommend the Louise Hotel to other travelers. If you are looking for a luxury hotel, you will be disappointed. However, if you'd like a charming and comfortable hotel for a good value, the Louise Hotel is the place to stay. If I return to Brussels, I would absolutely stay there again.

“Excellent Breakfast”

The breakfast is super. Hot and cold items and great variety. The bathroom is adequate, typical WC. Staff is helpful. Room, not elegant, but very economical.

“Exceeded Expectations”

Location,once oriented, was great. Close to transportation. Lone female;felt safe. Extensive breakfast selection. Bath tub and comfy bed. European mix of clientel. Staff was very helpful, but not overly friendly. Would definately return.
