Chic Cocoon

A nice area with a walkable distance to the city centre

...make it clear that my room is an attic! 1. Had to call the owner for access to the building. My check in email with the info didn't arrive until 19h15! 2. There were 85 steps up to the room, including the final set that was steep, narrow, and turned 90 degrees. Not easy for luggage! 3. None of the room photos was of the "attic hideaway". A person can only stand in the centre of the roughly 20' x 10' room (including the stair hatch). I don't object to renting an attic with torn carpet and a foam mattress on the floor if I know that's what I'm getting! 4. Mould on the bathroom tiles. 5. No TV in the room. No TV in the common area.

If you want to get off the tourist grid and mix it up with the locals, this place is for you. If you have any health issues with stairs, I wouldn’t recommend it.

Property is only 30-40 minute walk from the centre of Brussels which is a beautiful walk when the weather is nice The area is extremely peaceful with very little noise The rooms have a lot of space and have everything you need to stay and cook. The host is very friendly and can speak very good English, area around feels very safe even after midnight Would stay again

The pictures on the website did not match with the reality. The room was on the attic. Shower very small. The shower experience was terrible. I will never book here again.

Heel slecht geslapen door de kartonnen muren (heel gehorig oud herenhuis met piepende deuren ook) en ook was het te doen op een harde matras op bamboo. Ook mag het gebouw eens worden opgefrist want op verschillende plekken waren plamuursel en scheuren/barsten te zien. Ten laatste was er geen eigen badkamer, maar moesten we deze delen met 2 andere kamers. Spijtig van de bijna 90 euro!!

hmm where do i start. when you book you get a one in six chance that instead of a nice spacious room you are shoved into the haunted attic (not shown in pictures) the ceilings sloping low on both sides. the room lined with creepy haunted cupboards. you are greeted with instant steep curved stairs from opening the door. if you wanted to have a hands free shower you are mistaken, it is recommended to bring a personal shower assistant to hold the shower head for you. then after finding the expensive prices in brussels you might feel like a nice microwave meal, you are mistaken. we got to the kitchens and found a lack of utensils and the microwave had a uk plug which obviously didn’t work (who put it there and why)

Awesome place

Nos equivocamos con el vuelo de vuelta y estábamos yendo a Luxemburgo, Patrick entendió nuestro equívoco y pudimos llegar a Bruselas, recoger nuestras cosas y salir más tarde de la hora de salida programada, ha sido muy amable y ha entendido la situación. Muchas gracias

Ok
