Résidence Mantekila

Nothing

Steep stairs, far from Charleroi station, sketchy neighbourhood, no curtain on window, old bed linen

Close to Charleroi station (7 minute walk). Good to spend one night at this place if your flight is early in the morning (you can take the bus to the airport at the station). The studio has everything you need for the stay (except Tv). Quiet neighborhood

They could do better with the bathroom cleaning (see photos). The place is an adapted house, so you might expect to hear when people are getting into the other rooms. The window was missing one curtain.

I arrived in the middle of the night due to a flight delay. The host got up for me in the middle of the night, around 02:00, to show me my room. He was amazing. For the money this stay was perfect, the room had everything you could ask for.

Location near train station

Facilities too simple No air conditioning during very hot weather Only one towel in five days Cannot find house keeper

The host was very nice and spoke English when I panicked and forgot the few French words I knew. The room, while broiling in the summer heat, had a fan. I also really appreciated the presence of a microwave, fridge, tea and coffee, cutlery, dishes, wifi, towels, and shampoo - this is above standards in many places. Lastly, the room was super clean!

The heat in the summer - the small window didn't have a net and I therefore felt that leaving it open overnight would be counterproductive. Leaving the fan on low overnight helped slightly with this, however. The location also looked a bit dodgy and wasn't signposted, but the host did arrive within a minute or two of ringing the bell.

Never answered the phone. Never

The apartment suited us for a one night stopover before returning to the airport for our flight home. We were pleasantly surprised after reading other reviews that the place was nice and clean and very well equipped to cook a meal. The gentleman who let us into the property was very pleasant and helped us with our luggage. Bottled water was left in the fridge for us and there were adequate toiletries etc. Everything was in working order and the bed was quite comfortable so no complaints at all.

Nothing to dislike as we were already aware of the location and the stairs to access the apartment.

Friendly stuff, apartment was clean and cozy.

The host was super nice and flexible for checking; comfortable, large bed, kitchenette equipped for a morning coffee/tee, not far from the Central station

The area looks a bit questionable, kind of the dodgy side of the street. The entrance of the building is a bit warring, everything super old and not well maintained or really clean.
