Guest Reviews

• Hugo (8/5): En gömd pärla - Trevligt mottagande av personalen, enkelt och tyst. Trevligt och ljust rum. Rent och städat, fin och lagom frukost. Även de gemnsamma toaletterna och duscharna var mycket fräsha. Bra placering och mycket prisvärt. En fin och grön trädgård. Trygg plats med varm atmosfär som påminner lite om ett kloster. Det ligger en ostaffär runt hörnet som säljer prisvärda smörgåsar. Kommer komma tillbaka, här vill jag gärna bo igen. Möjligen var det lite lyhört men å andra sidan var det mycket tyst och stillsamt.

• Katarina (9/5): -
• Necula (10/5): - Privacy, staff respect
• Polina Sh (10/5): - Потрясающе красивые старинные интерьеры. Сохранилось много деталей. Везде очень тихо и чисто. Несмотря на то, что душ общий на этаже, ждать не приходилось. Включён завтрак, где каждый может выбрать что-то на свой вкус. Круглосуточный доступ к кофемашине. Сотрудники оперативно отвечали на все вопросы. Немного неудобно, что такое строгое расписание заезда-выезда и завтрака. Но в соотношении цены и качества, это незначительно.
• Ivars (9/5): -
• Tatarczuch (10/5): - Tout Rien
• Oksana (10/5): - Limpieza, la cercanía del centro, el personal. Comparando con el precio pagado, fenomenal. Repetiría sin duda. Para mi, el desayuno es muy temprano. Pero no es un hotel como tal, también hay que entenderlo. Al lado hay muchos sitios para desayunar.
• Barbara (10/5): -
• FEDERICO (9/5): Una gradita sorpresa a Bruxelles - La posizione vicinissima alla fermata metro Madou, la pulizia, l’atmosfera, la cortesia dello staff. Forse il check out è un po’ presto.

• Hudcová (7/5): -
• Cion Salibay (9/5): - Room, quiet and location Nothing
• Romaric (9/5): - Humain, bon marché, simple, haut de plafond, avec table de travail. Rien
• Imants (10/5): - Absolutely unbelievably GREAT combination of place/options/location/price! 🌞 When visiting Brussels again, I will definitely stay there and will recommend it to anyone! Thank you, wonderful experience! 🌻
• Marc (6/5): - Le partage des sanitaires et de la douche
• Mirjam (9/5): - very nice place to stay as a single traveler, frugal but has everything needed; plus I felt part of a friendly community while having privacy. Great location, friendly staff, very nice community rooms & garden. Very good value for money.
• Gianmas (9/5): Ottimo ambiente, giovane, confortevole, posizione ottima - colazione ottima; Staff Ana Maria più che disponibile!
• Лєна (10/5): - Найбільше сподобалась збережена автентичність і привітний персонал. Сад всередині готелю затишний, якщо хочеться сховатись від метушні, то вам сюди! Сподобалась самообслуговування в їдальні, це повага до робочого персоналу! Дуже задоволена!
• Steve Barlow. (9/5): - Very pleasant place. Good location. Free coffee 24/7
• THEODOROS (9/5): Value for money and more - More variety for breakfast (i.e. boiled eggs)
• NAOTO (10/5): -
• Wanxue (10/5): -
• Vizzarri (10/5): ..come sempre una certezza! - Posizione eccellente, se si hanno impegni nel quartiere europeo. Struttura pulita con ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo. Consigliato!
• Mari Serykh (9/5): - It was a very nice stay. Very good deal for the price considering the breakfast is included. Breakfast was quite decent. I would stay again and longer if it is a case in the future. Check-in hours are not the best but probably you can check if something else can be arranged. Soundproof can be better but it is very quiet after 22. It was mostly me who was afraid to make any noise😅

• Ngoc Diem (8/5): -
• Philippe (9/5): - Le cadre. Le personnel. Le petit déjeuner compris.
• Tommaso (8/5): -
• Steven (10/5): Good value stay in Brussels, well located, friendly, helpful staff, free breakfasts - It is an elegant old building Shared toilets and showers, but there were private sinks and the facilities are well maintained and plentiful
• suzelle (10/5): - Ana Maria très bien ainsi que le personnel du petit déjeuner je me suis senti très bien. Un petit détail la lumière dans le couloir
• Kaikka (9/5): - Cozy place, friendly staff. Good breakfast for same price. Cheap, good value for your money. Popular, it's not so easy to have a room.
• Nick (6/5): - Gorgeous building. Decent breakfast. Kind staff. Noisy in the corridors and hearing everyone when they got in their rooms. Even with ear plugs, I was woken up regularly and into the early hours. I went here as reviews said it was quiet after 10pm. It is rather a case of pot luck on whether you get people who respect the rules / care about disturbing others. Some lights not working on the corridor and bathroom - this is a problem if you have to get up in the night to go and use the bathroom.

• Simon (10/5): - Wonderful place. Nice character.
• Veronika (9/5): - Very friendly staff, great breakfast, everything perfectly clean.
• Ludo (7/5): -
• Dudley Stephen (10/5): An island of calm - It's always a pleasure when there is room available at the ICA - it's great value for money, and an island of peace away from the European quarter.
• Hildegard (8/5): -
• Georg (8/5): Günstig, wenn auch spartanisch - Sauberes Zimmer, ordentliches Frühstück, freundliches Personal, eher gutes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis. WC und Dusche auf dem Flur ist heute kaum noch Standard.
• Hoerter (9/5): - Parfait pour une nuit. Accueil formidable. Beau projet. Ça m'a rappelé mes jeunes années quand j'allais dans des établissements identiques. Petit déjeuner n'est pas le meilleur mais pour le prix!
• Gojkovic (9/5): -
• Kaikka (9/5): - Sijainti hyvä, Madou-metropysäkki lähellä. Voi vaikka kävellä keskustaan. Hyvä aamiainen. Hyvä hintalaatusuhde.
• Tihana (10/5): -
• Gustavo (8/5): -

• Dunja (10/5): - Nice, clean and quiet. Coffee at the disposal 24/7. Putting my name by the door, even for one night, shows the care and attention.
• Donal (8/5): Superb value and comfortable place to stay in Brussels - As others have said, it's like a student halls of resident. It is *very* quiet - not a sound after 10pm. Staff are very helpful and breakfast is simple. Outstanding value in Brussels. Showers are communal - remember to bring flip-flops. Would definitely stay again Nothing really

• Joe (9/5): -
• fereshteh (8/5): it was a great experience - it was really comfortable, clean, friendly atmosphere, and a very good location, nice staff, only I had a problem to cary on my baggage since the elevator was not working
• Florian (9/5): -
• Nicolai Fog (10/5): Sparsomt, men helt i orden. - Meget tydelig mission om et simpelt hotel, helt i min ånd. Jeg behøver ikke alt muligt mere end en seng og lidt morgenmad. Det lever dette overnatningssted helt op til. Så sparsomt, men helt i orden. Skulle lige overvinde at gå i bad på gangen, men det var intet problem. Fine forhold.
• Nanna (9/5): Tänne voisin palata - Loistava sijainti kävelymatkan päässä keskustasta ja Eurooppa-korttelista. Huone oli kuten kuvissa, siisti ja mukava. Ikkunasta näkymä rauhalliselle, vehreälle sisäpihalle. Yhteiset tilat kauniit ja tilavat sekä todella siistit. Turvallinen tunnelma.
• LIIVAMÄGI (8/5): -
• raphael (10/5): -
• Conny (7/5): - Een rustige plek in historisch gebouw, met gedeelde basic faciliteiten voor n goede prijs in Brussel
• Conny (7/5): - Redelijke prijs
• Starr Dolber (8/5): A quiet oasis - This is a simple, affordable previous convent that gives you the basics plus a very adequate breakfast and coffee anytime. There is also a central courtyard, which is available anytime. No complaints, really. It's not a noisy place and the quiet time at 10 p.m. is respected. You can hear the neighbours' doors unlocking - that's about the extent of the noise. There is one bathroom and shower per floor, which somehow works. Oh, and.no.elevator. We can use the exercise!
• Tilemachos (6/5): - The location is great. Close to the city. The room was very small comparing to its cost.
• Martina (10/5): -
• loic (8/5): -
• stevan (8/5): o.k. - lokation and lot of space in lobby staff
• Iva (10/5): -
• Ian (9/5): Clean comfortable safe overnight accommodation. - Well managed very clean and comfortable. Location was further from Brussels North Station than I expected based on description on bookings.com.
