Hotel a Schaerbeek

"No TV in the room, no teabags, no coffee, etc. Trying to mimic a minimalistic style, but it’s obvious that savings on materials have been exaggerated. I would say that this is a three star hotel from a general perspective. The staff however deserves compliments as they seem to be well aware of the glitches in this concept and try to do their best to make your stay as comfortable as possible."

"Love the room and kitchen and private parking , but they inflexible about 11 am check out. Late 1 hour cost u €25 it’s crazy . Other hotel just charge €10 per hour or can free check out still at 12noon . The middle age man very nice and friendly at customer service but just very stricth in late check out. They cleaning woman will knock ur room by 11 am."

"Il hotel, il personale amichevole e la camera stessa (si tratta di appartamento) erano molto buoni, abbastanza spaziosi per i 5 di noi. "

"Check-in is from 4pm. It was written at the entrance that the gate code for the entrance would be sent by email, but it had not been sent. There were several people who didn't know how to get in like me, and one of them ended up calling the hotel. Then a staff member came out and we were able to get in. The explanation and system for how to get in are sloppy. The reviews said that the rooms were moldy and dirty, but the rooms were clean and there were towels, so there was nothing in particular."

"L'a&o Hotel Brussels offre sistemazioni convenienti e in posizione centrale, ideali per viaggiatori attenti al budget e gruppi. La posizione è comoda, a pochi passi dal centro città e dai mezzi pubblici. Le camere sono essenziali ma funzionali, con servizi adeguati. Il personale è cordiale e disponibile, così come il servizio. Nel complesso, un'ottima scelta per i viaggiatori che privilegiano il prezzo e la posizione rispetto al lusso."

"Plus: The room is really big. So is the bed. It is so big that makes me think as if it is king size bed to house politicians or prime minister from the 80s, 90s. There is heating both in the room and in the shower There is air con set in the room( but I didn't try to see if it works) This hotel is located less than 10 mins walk from Brussels north station Minus The room look really old. May be 90s, if not 80s. There is no carpet on the floor. It is really clean but it is really cold to step on. Bring your own slippers. The room is dim. And some lights were spoilt. Even if was told it is a non smoking room, the room has lingering smoking smell. Someone smoked in this room before. I told the front desk, he said he will check but when I return from the city , the smell is there still. The bathroom has some odd smell. May b smell of roaches, or roaches in the pipes. The shower curtain smell of mould and damp cloth/ damp laundry. The heating stop around 2am. May b there is max amount of heating one room could use. Make sure you time your heating usage carefully. The wall is really thin. You can hear when someone is around the lift, going towards their room or what next door is up to. I can hear everything happening outside, on the street, from police car n siren rushing up and down, to people wondering on the street, their conversation. I don't feel safe here. I can't relax and sleep. I don't like the paper cup given together with coffee and the place to brush teeth. May be the hotel suffer too often from being stolen . But that make the hotel rating dropping from 1star hotel to guest house. The toilet spoilt in the middle of the night and you can hear water flowing all night. Need to maneuver with the old school toilet pull button . I appreciate the effort they maintain it but personally I don't like it. unless you have really early bus or train to catch, and is on a shoe string budget then it is your choice."
