The hotel was very nice and the staff were very helpful and kind. The breakfast and dinner was always excellent and the room was comfortable and had all the utilities needed. The hotel also had a water dispenser on the ground floor which we found to be incredibly useful. But I do think the carpet of the hotel room could be cleaned more.

Very clean, very polite and helpful staff, and location to Zuid/Midi was only a few hundred metres. The mattress is the only thing that can be improved, everything else was perfect. Thank you to all.

The hotel was comfortable, room large. There were rowdy guests that you could hear in the hall in the middle of the night. The area around the hotel made me feel unsafe as a female solo traveler but there was a lo around in terms of restaurants and infrastructure

A good solid place to stay and party ..
Brussels, is a great place to stay. For a weekend get away . The hotel was very convenient. As it’s situated close by the main line Midi station . Room is comfortable, which includes modern facilities and offered fast wifi connectivity. Breakfast, was so,so. As more options was needed to justify a good point . It’s standard for your everyday palate. Dinner needed an overhaul. As the food offerings was not justified. Having to pay a $3 room service charge, which offered poor food quality. The quiche, was a great option. As it was light and crispy with a tasty vinaigrette salad. The main the watershot chicken , was bland and dry . So for food, please visit nearby sites…

The very clean modern bathroom with a great heating light feature .

First of all, this is a nice clean hotel, pretty convenient to Brussels-Midi station. Check in went fine and the service from the staff was good. But from about 2230 until 0130 in the morning there was a fire alarm coming on and off at 10-15 minute intervals. Like every time I was about to drift off it came on right outside the room. They had someone working on it, but it happened to be right outside our room. We thought about moving but at midnight thought it might be more trouble than it was worth. That meant we didn’t sleep super well. Also there is quite a bit of street noise. Breakfast was fine, a little limited, but good enough for us. I would definitely rate the hotel higher if it wasn’t for the alarm. But getting a good night’s sleep in your hotel is important. Staff were apologetic, which was nice.

Two stars only for the location. Trains can be taken from Midi Station to almost anywhere in Europe. The hotel condition is average. Good in the hotel restaurant is absolutely bad. The area near the hotel is dirty. Not much food options. Below average middle eastern or any other kind of food. Streets smell bad.

Funky smell and dirty towel
Easy to get to. But sadly our room smelt a bit weird. Couldn’t work out if it was just stagnant air or someone had smoked in there. Either way, it was unpleasant. Also one of the towels in the bathroom was covered in someone else’s hair. The hotel felt a bit tired and the rooms were very so so.

Too noisy, the window options are to a garden and some houses or to the street, so either way you can hear noise everyday. Also you can hear the person next door talk withput a problem.

The property was relatively new and in excellent condition. The staff were wonderful, very accommodating. This property is within a 2 blocks radius of the Midi train station used by Eurorail for Brussels area. The only negative issues were the shady characters hanging out on the streets. Simply be alert!

Our trains were messed up and had a whole extra day in Brussels. We were allowed to check in early. The receptionist was helpful and understanding. The room was comfortable and quiet. The bed very comfortable and shower was perfect. Nice that it was only a 4 minute walk to the train station. Definitely nice all around with great accommodations and excellent staff.

Frightening neighborhood
The area is not very safe. There are lots of "loose" people (mainly migrants) hanging out in the streets, giving us -frightening experience. One night at near the hotel, one guy came to me and wrapped his leg around mine, and his hand around mine causing my wrist watch to loose off. I yelled and got off him without losing my watch.

Very convenient for Brussels Midi station and the high quality you expect from Novotel, but like many cities the area around the station isn’t really the nicest place to stay. On the positive, the food market just outside on Sunday morning was excellent and “Lunch Factory” just a few metres away is a good simple late night food option - better than a burger or kebab!
