Ursel Vacations from $1,335

The first receptionist was terrible , she doesn’t care about guest comfort. The family rooms are in a second building and has to use stairs, this is a wrong advertising. Until we Getz back from the tours like 6pm, Aa new receptionist gave us 2 single room with elevator and we could have a nice stay. Unless you have no heavy bags this hotel woth it, they don’t have porter

Hotel was clean and had nice decor. Area was relatively quiet and convenient with nearby metro stations and shops. We had an issue with the shower where the door was not flush with the ground. This resulted in water spilling into the rest of the bathroom and seeping into the bedroom. It wasn’t noticeable until I came out of the bathroom to see the floor of the bedroom was wet. We contacted the service desk and there was only one person manning the whole hotel. We asked if we could get cleaning services or at least some towels to sop it up and he said there were no cleaning people at night and since he was the only one there he couldn’t come up and leave the desk. We came down and grabbed towels and cleaned it up ourselves. He then gave us a different room to use which had a bathtub so we didn’t encounter the issue again. But this all happened around midnight and it was really inconvenient to replace our stuff and have to move when we were settling down for bed. He told us that there have been issues in the past with the bathrooms flooding due to poor design of the shower. We also read other reviews saying a similar story. Although the man was very nice, we were not impressed with how the hotel handled the matter. No one checked in again with us after this happened. When we brought this up to the front desk at checkout, they said they were going to email us about compensation details but they never did leaving us to write this review.

This was my 3rd stay at The Augustin, staff always friendly and polite. The only issues we had this time was the fridge was not working and the shower hose leaked and would wet the bathroom a considerable amount. Was reported to reception who arranged for maintenence to sort it out. Breakfast buffet is between 7am-10am at €15 per adult.children under 12 free. I would advise not going late as the don't restock the hot food near closing time. Overall breakfast was good. Location of the hotel is really good about 10-minute walk from Eurostar and 10-15 to the centre depending how far you want to go. If I come back to Brussels I would definitely stay again.

Very good hotel, warm interior, tasty breakfast and helpful staff.
