Hotel Aristote

Pros: - Location. - Cool city view from the balcony (for selected rooms). Cons: - Old hotel. Not renovated in a long time. - Poorly cleaned - as you would expect hotels to be. - Poor standard of services and amenities. - Very slow internet. Practically impossible to check e-mail. Cannot access the internet even from the most advanced Android phone. So-so: - Staff - didn't interact much (other than at check in), so wouldn't be able to tell. My tip: if you are looking for a place, just where you can sleep - this may be an adequate choice. It is an OK value for money. Other than that, I would not recommend it.

So I booked this in a hurry and thought it looked good... The first thing was that the room was incredibly hot for no reason, the radiators were not on! I could not cool things down without noise/smells from the street as there was only a door onto a balcony that I could open. The second thing was that the wireless internet access was incredibly slow, clearly their broadband connection was not up to the number of guests using the internet. Thirdly, it was quite dirty, especially the bathroom. The shower head was broken so that as I turned up the pressure, the water came out sideways... I did not get any sleep that night, mostly because of the heat.

Definitely a budget hotel..barely makes the acceptable grade..hotel staff were friendly; location fairly close to main attractions (would be the main redeeming feature); the neighborhood though not rundown, appeared to be borderline..however some decent restaurants close by..

Hotels in Brussels centre are uniformly expensive for their standards as the demand is high. On that basis the hotel offered value. The room was basic, clean and would have been quiet, other than for the lavatory cistern ran all the time. I reported this but it did not get fixed during my 3 day stay. Good free wifi was a plus. Staff not exactly charming, but efficient. Would I go back? Not in a rush.

Location is good..BUT.. Condition/cleanliness of the hotel and particularly the room was appalling. I was bitten over 40 times buy bed bugs to wich i have photograph evidence. Would not recommend anyone to stay there.

The location is not too nice, in the middle of Marrocan/Turkish/Algerian neighborhood. The hotel is very old and far from nice. It is quite clean. But one of the lamp is not installed, the bathtub needs to be repaired.

Terrible, will never recommend to anyone. You are better off spending a few extra dollars and getting a decent room. Luckily we only spent one night here. What a dump, we didn't even want to get under the bed covers, so we slept on top of the sheets.

Arrived at hotel at 1pm front desk lady said we couldn't check in until 2pm. Thought that his was pour service as the hotel seemed empty. Room is terrible. Super small. Beds hard as rocks. Fake wood panel modelling screwed on over top of tiles. Super small shower and the rod was curved in so the curtain kept touching your arms when in the shower. Smelled weird. Only warm water from tap. Small glass shelve right above tap so you couldn't turn the faucet on all the way. No towels in our room and had to ask for some. Very Arabic community and many people yelling in the streets. Lights in the hallways were in timers. You had to walk into a dark hallway to turn on the light to walk down the stairs. Very creepy. Pay an extra $10 and stay somewhere else.

Pretty much half way between Zuid train station and Grand place. Very easy to find by foot. Three (decent) bars at the square the hotel is situated at yet quiet at night. No-frills place. Relaxed service. Have stayed there before and will return.

I enjoyed my day stayed in Hotel Aristote .10 min walk to the train station and 10 min walk to the attractive places. The people at the front desk was the best thing about the hotel The staff were extremely friendly and helpful and gave us a lot of guidance. Hotel was very clean and comfortable .Only negative was the WIFI didnt stretch to the room .Would definitely stay again and recommend to anyone
