Enjoyed my stay - the room was spacious, clean and nicely decorated. It was a very budget friendly option so I knew that would come at a cost, and the cost was the noise levels from the busy road and a couple of restaurants nearby. For the price I paid it was definitely still worth it, happy with my choice!

Was in a good location with a lot of restaurants and a supermarket underneath. The Grand Place is just a 20min walk away which did not bother us a lot, as we got to explore the city on foot. The host, an old man was really welcoming. There was free coffee and fruit to take all the time. We were very happy about that. The bathroom was abit unconveniently designed, the shower head and no platform to keep my toileteries. Overall a good stay for a night

Good location and value

The superior room is comfortable. There aren’t any towel racks or hooks so you have to hang your towel over the heater. Also, the WiFi was cutting out in the evening sometimes.

Lovely place to stay, staff were friendly and helpful. The only downside is that it was quite noisy, the doors are heavy to shut and this sound travelled, especially at night. The building next door were load and the windows/ walls didn't keep out much noise, with shouting/ singing and sirens from the road coming through. but all in all a lovely place to stay!

I would definitely love to stay here again! The staff were incredibly welcoming and accommodating throughout my stay. I wasn’t expecting room service, so it was a pleasant surprise to return from a long day of sightseeing to find my bed made and the room spotless. Not many hotels offer this kind of service anymore, and I really appreciated the extra care. I will be recommending this hotel to friends and family. Thank you Hotel Retro Staff!

Room is clean and looks like the pictures. Smaller than you may expect. Very noisy, you can hear a lot of noise from the road outside, from the elevator and from other rooms if someone loud is next to you. Staff were very friendly.

The property had a comfortable, good sized double bed, with nice memory foam pillows. The shower was excellent with good pressure and hot water which can be lacking at some cheaper hotels. There was a shop just outside the entrance which was convenient. The surrounding area was sketchy, and the walk from the north station was not family friendly. the windows were not remotely soundproof and there were trams passing all night which made for a rough nights sleep. Overall did what it needed to do, a place to sleep and shower but wouldn’t recommend to a friend.

Good value for money

This hotel is well located - a 15 minute (albeit sketchy) walk from Brussels Nord train station. It was good price for money in the sense that it wasn't too expensive for a decent property. The room was clean and serviceable. The staff was great!
