Bedford Hotel & Congress Centre - Brussels

10

The best hotel of our trip. A beautiful old world hotel. The rooms are huge with a queen bed and leather sofa and armchair and small table and two chairs which was great for dinner from room service the omolette and carbonara were great. Walking distance to Grand Place and shopping district. The Hotel has a fantastic bar area which we used each night and the retaurant is very good. We had three days here and had a lovely time. There are no restaurants or bars in the close vercinity. Grand Place would be the closest which is about a 10 min walk. There are beautiful public areas everywhere in this hotel lots of cosy little nooks with comfortable sofas and chairs and large sitting areas ideal for using a computer or reading. There is an internet room with two computers and is free. Breakfast was the best we had with a selection of bacon, scrambled eggs, pastries, breads, cereals, yoghurts, toast and juices.

This hotel does not deserve 4 stars..... it needs refurbushing and new beds ! But it is in the centre of Brussels and offers cheap price for the week end : that makes it attractive

9.1

excellent location (in town centre) very good breakfast

7.4

Good location; close to the centre and not too far from the Eurostar station (within comfortable walking distance if reasonably fit). Also good access to public transport and just round the corner from the Mannequin Pis statue. We'd booked a double but were given effectively a suite - a double plus another small room with 2 beds. Checking in and out very swift with courteous staff using good Engish. No minibar, although we weren't too bothered, but there was a fridge. Good range of TV channels including BBC1 & 2. Quite good buffet breakfast (busy though) resulting in excellent value for money, notwithstanding the low rate of Pounds to Euros at the time!

8.3

Good located near the Grande Place on a street with many BD shops ( Bande Dessinée ). The nearest metro station is Annesseens. The hotel is quite old, but still good. Good continental buffet breakfast. There is free wi-fi connection in the hall and 2 computers in the small business center with fre access.

2.1

On arrival heating system of the room didn´t work (outside temperature -4!!!) the room was frozen. No offer to change the room, they brought a electrical heater after one hour. The room was suposed to be a bussines room with WIFI access. Only WIFI access on the lobby which is quiet important when you travel for bussiness. Very noisy. I will not repeat.

7.8

This hotel is in an excellent location and within walking distance to all the major attractions of brussels namely mannequin pis and the grand place. The hotel is clean and rooms are in good condition. We also got a very good continental buffet breakfast included in the price. It lives upto its standards of being a 3-4 star hotel.

8.6

Travelled in a group of 7 and no-one had any complaints, in fact most were pleasantly surprised at the quality of the hotel for the price we paid. Great location, great breakfast, would definitely stay there again.

1.5

Même si nous avons bénéficié d'un tarif "internet" très intéressant, la qualité des chambres étaient déplorables: prises électriques manquantes (câbles dénudés et apparents), interrupteur électrique manquants, fuites d'eau dans la salle de bain sans que le personnel n'en soit étonné, qualité des meubles bien en dessous d'un 4 étoiles. Les chambres (on a du changer en cours de séjour à cause des fuites d'eau) ne valent pas le prix payé, et encore moins le "vrai prix" affiché dans les chambres: 340€!!!

9.3

Building is rich decorated and considering the price for short visits like 3 or4 days Bedford Hotel is the excellent place to stay. •Perfect location, •Very near the Brussels MIDI Station •Close to metro. •Rooms are clean, every time clean towel and hot water

8.7

Quality hotel in a great location close to the Mannekin Pis. The room was huge and only let down by a poor quality oversoft bed. Buffet breakfast could not be faulted.The reception staff could do with some smiling lessons but that did not take away from their efficiency.

8.8

Cheap, clean and includes a good buffet breakfast! It's a deal for the location which is just a short walking distance from Grand Place -- about 10 or 15 minute walk. The buffet included with the price of the room is quite a deal. It's more extensive that what you might normally expect from a meal that comes with a room. Great coffee. The decor in the room is from 1980 but all still functional and clean. The mattresses were soft and sunk in the middle. They were probably the same age as the furniture but were showing their age a bit more. It didn't bother me so much but it did our friends. We stayed during the weekend and the breakfast room seemed filled mostly to be families and groups of retired people. The staff were very competent and friendly at the front desk, in the breakfast room and the cleaning staff.

2.7

The public areas were grandiose & well appointed but the room was small, old & tired. The bathroom did not have a shower & no hand soap was provided. The room was a huge disappointment, not what was expected & overpriced for what it was. This was especially so compared to the hotels we stayed in in Amsterdam & Luxembourg. This was the first time we booked through Venere.com.

9.2

I chose this hotel partly for its location, being about 12 minutes walk from Bruxelles Midi (Eurostar) and less than 5 minutes from the Grande Place. My room was clean and spacious however, because it faced inside, it was quite dark and necessary to have the lights on; it was very quiet though. There was a good choice for the buffet breakfast.Overall I would recommend hotel and would stay there again if in Bruxelles.

9.3

I recomend this hotel.

7.4

Appena arrivati ci viene chiesto se, invece della camera, può andar bene un appartamento: accettiamo. Seguiamo un inserviente che ci porta attraverso vari corridoi, porte di servizio, IL PARCHEGGIO a piani, ascensori e altri corridoi, ed alla fine arriviamo in una stanzetta praticamente senza finestre e piccolissima!!! Fortunatamente il letto è matrimoniale, mentre noi lo avevamo chiesto doppio, per cui torniamo indietro e la receptionist ci mette in una camera nella struttura principale, questa volta una bella camera. Alla fine tutto bene, ma all'inizio hanno provato a sbatterci in quella che non potrei che definire "la stanza per i polli che hanno prenotato su internet e pagato poco". La notte urla dalla strada secondaria su cui si affaccia la camera, ma non è un problema imutabile all'albergo.

8.5

One corner of the room was a bit mouldy! No air condition for the hot & humid summer days (expectable for 4 Stars!). Otherwise OK. Lots of european & international tourists in the hotel. It is located only 5 min. walk from Grand place & hotel de ville.

7.8

we stayed for 6 nights in Lisbon, this hotel was adequate and reflected the price we paid, rooms were a little tired but were always kept clean, shower was good and staff were friendly and helpful. the situation was ok we could walk to most parts of the city,also it was quiet at night.

3.3

For a five star hotels, the quality was poor. Staff attitude left a lot to be desired. No Tea/coffee facility arrangements. Breakfast needs more varieties and bacon not mixed with sausages to cater for all cultures and religion. The price does not match the quality.

9.7

very good hotel locate in in a very good place just five mnts from the city center .the staff was efficent and polite .i will recomend this hotel to my friends

6.0

The room was really small, the equipments were not in good condition, the minibar service was not available

8.7

An ideal location in central Brussels, convenient for Eurostar arrivals/departures. It is an interesting, 5 minute walk from the main square, but close to all major tourist sites. If you arrive before the room is available, luggage can be securely stored by the bell boy, likewise on departure. Hotel caters for the business traveller in the week but rates are reduced considerably at the weekend making it excellent value for a weekend break. Many facilities are excess to requirements if you only want a clean, safe place to sleep. Rooms are large, very clean and modern with safes at waist height rather than having to kneel down to accesss them). Breakfast is a massive hot and cold buffet. Reception staff are efficient and speek fluent English. They suggested an excellent restaurant, not in the typical tourist haunts, gave detailed directions and suggestions for walks and delt with admin issues promptly. Would certainly return.

7.7

This hotel was very pleasant for a weekend. Very close to the "Grand Place" (5 minutes), the room was clean, the breakfast buffet was better than expected. A negative point : A our arrival, employees was very very cold.

7.5

We've stayed there for one night, the hotel was ok, our room was not 4stars by any chance, it was at most 3stars, but for 65e/night it was ok. Room was very very dusty, otherwise clean and all you need in it, though I didn't manage to connect to Internet throught the hotel wireless, I guess I had to pay extra and didn't bother to find out. I'd say it's ok for the price to stay a couple of nights there.

6.5

The beds and matresses were old and too soft, very bad for our backs!!!

9.6

The Bedford is in the center city, 5 min walking from la Gande Place... I paid for 1 night with breakfast included only 65 euros (I suppose it was a kind of promotional price in february), anyway this 4 stars hotel is really great even for any standard price!!!!

8.1

Not a bad place tostay for some nights. However, due to a party of workersstayinginthehotel at the same time as me it was difficult to get bread or an egg for breackfast

5.2

The heating was broken and my room was completely cold: I only obtained 2 blankets. Dusty. Only 99 euros, but with a big health-attempt. Acceptable brakfast

I never expected a perfect hotel like this one for a price like this!!! I would definately stay there again! It was a walking distance to the midi station and the central town. I have never seen such a luxurious breakfast either.

7.0

Excellent location. The availability of the parking garage so near to the Grande Place was the main reason why we chose this hotel. Very convenient. However, the beds are very old and borken down. Sleeping was quite uncomfortable. You could also hear a lot of noise from other rooms and the housekeeping ladies knock on the doors at 8 AM. Also, the breakfast seemed to be understaffed. They frequently ran out of items and seating.

9.1

The hotel was great in location to walk up to the central area. The hotel was clean and the staff was great. The complementary breakfast was great!

7.1

Personal was not very nice, no similing. No hot water in bathroom, brrr. Shower curtain came down with its bar... Very small room, you nearly could not move between bed and wall. But nicely located very central in brussel, only 5 minutes walking to the grand place. It has a private parking area which is secure and has a lot of space. Breakfast was very well, American style with eggs and bacon.

7.6

it was our first stay there was a problem wihh the electricity in the room ,they did not arrange in 4 days! i missed only a coffe maker in a hotel of this rank

7.8

the location is very good, the breakfast also, the room is ok (less the bathroom!)...no spectacular view, no minibar.

7.3

Location is perfect - walking distance to the Grand Place. Great value for money.

7.5

Hôtel agréable, de plus de 400 chambres. Les chambres sont confortables. Le petit déjeuner est copieux.Le seul problème est que notre chambre se situait au dessus des poubelles. Environnement très bruyant. L'hôtel est d'un bon rapport qualité prix à 65 euros petit-déjeuner compris.

"Wow" is what you'll say when you'll enter the hall! It's almost impossible to find a so high quality hotel for that price! Room was something like 25 squaremeters big, with a big sofa and an armchair.Toilet was pretty big, clean, with high warm wather pression.In room tv with international channels and hair dryer.Very good buffet-breakfast.The hotel is VERY close to the center, you can reach the most famous square of the city with a few steps, no need to take taxi or Metro.Staff is very kind and speak a very good english.Maps of the city for free at reception.It's a damn good hotel, high quality and very chic and, yes, it's pretty friendly too ;-)

9.6

very close to the Grand Place, room was clean and spacious, buffet style breakfast was very good, cost performance is great

8.7

great location and quality. Would go there again.

6.4

Respecto a la ubicación del hotel está muy bien: llegas des del aeropuerto a la gare du midi y al hotel andando en 15 o 20 min en línea recta. Está muy cerca del centro y de todas las tiendas de chocolate y del mannaken pis. Nosotros fuimos a Amsterdam luego cogiendo un tren normal y no un Thalis (asientos reservados) y pudimos sentarnos ya que la Gare du Midi es la primera estación. La habitación que nos tocó no fue tan bonita como la que aparece en las fotos. Además, están muy mal insonorizadas: nuestra habitación daba a la calle y nos despertaban los coches, camiones, autobuses-> fatal! El aire acondicionado que teníamos era un ventilador. Suerte que no hizo calor! Malas camas: la mía era muy blanda y hacía cuesta para un lado. Para quien busque un hotel normalito, bien ubicado y comunicado.
