Saint-Gilles Hotels & Accommodations

Stayed here two nights in mid-January 2023. Hotel is located in a gritty area, with much construction, but just a five minute walk to the main train station, with many transit connections. It's about a 10 - 20 minute walk to various tourist sites in the city. There are convenience stores and dining options nearby. Staff was OK but not overly friendly. Single room was small, but clean and the price was fair. There was a heating/AC unit on the wall but one button was missing and it didn't appear to be working. Temp was OK. There was a small desk and chair. Shower and sink were in the room and toilet in a small closet. The window opened into a narrow ventilation shaft so it was rather dark. Wifi, lights and TV worked fine. I didn't pay for the breakfast. It wasn't great, but it did the trick.

Rather clean room, very comfortable bed, good welcome. I only stayed one night to catch the train early the next day, so it was well suited, located opposite the Gare du Midi, 3 mins on foot. Only downside we hear a little noise in the hallway but it did not prevent me from sleeping

We stayed here for one night while travelling by train from Ostend to London. The hotel is situated opposite the Gare de Midi in an 'edgy' part of the city which felt very intimidating particularly later in the day - there were numerous inebriated people and beggars around. The road outside the hotel is very busy. Check-in was friendly and efficient. We had a room on the 4th floor. There is one small lift to all floors which is insufficient for the size of hotel. Our room was very small - barely enough room to walk around the double bed and to include a suitcase.- strangely the bathroom had plenty of room. There was a disproportionately large TV dominating the room. The big window opened fully onto courtyards that had decades worth of building material dumped in them - but, on the upside , there was no street noise at all. The air-conditioning was barely able to keep the room cool, so the opening window was needed. The breakfast area was equally undersized with far too many guests crammed in a small area all getting in the way of the staff doing their best to try to keep the room tidy. The breakfast was best described as 'adequate' - certainly nothing special, and definitely not relaxing. The price is set by the location of this hotel close to the main international rail station, but for the size of the room, and the unpleasant area outside, coupled with the mediocre breakfast - the price we paid was far too high.

+: 1) The contact person / owner is good. His reply is fast when we asked him some questions by WhatsApp. 2) The location is not bad. Around 8 min walk to metro station and 2-3 stops to the town. And there are stores and supermarket neaby. 3) The open kitchen is perfect. It is big with enough facilities for you to cook. 4) The house is clean. 5) The owner allow us to store our luggage in kitchen after we come back overnight from other city. -: 1) We live in 3rd floor of the house without lift. We need to take the heavy luggages to the room by the narrow stairs. Although we can put in the kitchen, it is not convenient. 2) The room is little bit stuffy but the fan is too noisy. It is not enough to open the window .

Good value for money

The hotel is very well located, with public parking available with direct access to the hotel for 20 € per 24 hours. The room is great, the bed is amazing! Another thing to raise, is the breakfast, amazing options per 15 € if you choose to buy at check in or before the breakfast day. Great selection of juice, cheese, breads, eggs and everything is delicious! Really good experience. There is a bar available for good drinks and dinner/snacks options!

The road around the hotel is being repaired. The road is dirty and it is inconvenient to pull in and out with luggage. In the evening, there are many black people standing around. It feels unsafe. The hotel service is good. Breakfast is ok. You can fry eggs. The hotel itself is quite clean, very close to the train station, and a four or five minute walk.

Just back from a 4 night Christmas Markets family break in Brussels, the hotel was great. I was worried given the reviews but needn't have been. The duplex apartment was prefect for our family needs, it gave the kids space and the kitchenette was unbelievably well equipped. The rooms.could get a little warm (not always a bad thing), and the windows opened without any safety catches... made.me anxiousness the 5th floor, but the kids knew to stay away. The rooms were clean and tidy,.come.wirh all you need for a short stay. Location is perfect for exploring Brussels with the Louise Metro stop just steps away. There is a grocery shop along the side of the hotel, (wish we had realised this as we used the much more expensive metro stop store) Some say they felt nervous in the area, but we were fine and no issues. Some lovely restaurants close by and cab very much recommend La Vigne for amazing food. The reception staff were always very friendly and helpful when needed. Cannot fault for a budget mini break and would definitely recommend and stay again.

Booked this last minute and pleasantly surprised with how nice this hotel was. Staff are friendly and my room was immaculate! Looked like it had just been refurbished. I will definitely consider booking this same hotel again. The location was very convenient as it’s just a short walk away from Gare du Midi/Brussels Zuid station.
