Hotel Villa Royale - Brussels

4.7

BREAKFAST WHITE TEA CUPS VERY VERY DIRTY INSIDE, STILL WITH LARGE DARK STAINS OF PREVIOUS USERS (TWO CUPS, BOTH ON THE SAME TABLE)!

7.2

no aircondition

8.4

Luckily we were only there for one night as we had a room on the first floor overlooking the main street and therefore it was very, very noisy!

9.3

Excellent hotel at a decent price. Slightly remotely located from the turistic centre, but within walking distance if you are in a good shape. Otherwise, take the tram from the front of the hotel. Very good and relativly diverse breakfast.

3.6

The Hotel is located in a rather rough area (to reach the Gare du Nord one has to pass through the Red Light District). Differently from what declared in the website, not all rooms are provided with air conditioning. Mine (and that of my colleague) were not and the room was boiling hot. I asked the reception and was given a very noisy portable air conditioning unit which was not powerful enough the cool down the vrey small room in which I was. I had to keep the window open but that opens on a rather busy street and that made my night unconfortable to say the least. Breakfast too is rather poor and served in a room in urgent need of some serious refurbishment. I would not stay in the hotel again and would not recommend it to anyone (especially on business, as one as to pay for the wireless connection).

2.6

There was no air-conditioning! And the beds were equipped only with winter blankets. Moreover, nearly all restaurant are closed after 10pm.

9.7

Excellent hotel, great value for money!

4.8

While the plus points for us were value for money ( good rate for a 3 star hotel)& location of the hotel ( proximity to attractions/metro/grocery), a few points to note as follows: the air conditioning in both rooms did not work making the rooms stifling hot during the night. We also had an extremely unpleasant experience during check out, primarily due to the absolute incompetency of the hotel staff: since we had already paid for breakfast for 4 adults, the management agreed the night before that coffee would be available before we leave.However upon arriving downstairs we found that the coffee machine had not even been switched on & the receptionist in charge was extremely unhelpful & not the least bit bothered. Moreover the taxi ordered through the receptionist for 6.15am was instead standing there from 5.45am compelling us therefore to incur an additional payment to the taxi driver as waiting charges.

9.6

Ah people! It was NOT possible to find the street! Maps were useless! The hotel itself was great, but it's located in not a good area. At least you'll have to pass by the red district to get there.

7.6

I stayed at this hotel for 3 nights, the room was clean very spacious for a single traveler but the hotel staff not very welcoming, one receptionist especially very arrogant, with his attitude kinda let down the overall stay. Wifi connection they charge(€5.00 an hour) is actually cheaper than specified on the venere listing, but go round the corner from the hotel and there is an internet cafe for €2.00 an hour. In overall though pretty satisfied with room and cleanliness but would of given a higher rating if not for hotel receptionist.

5.1

Hotel receptionists were not gentle, not even helpful. The hotel was not close to the center of the city, but it requires quite twenty minutes walking. It's in a Turkish area of Bruxelles. The breakfast was a little bit poor. My room was large warm and silent.

8.9

The hotel is a good value. The rooms are clean, well decorated and a good size. Access to the airport is easy with just a 10 min walk down the hill to the train station where you catch the airport expess for 3 euro.

2.8

It was not possible to properly close one of the windows. No soap in the bathroom (only a dispenser), nor a shower cap.

4.3

Reception not very friendly TV with just minor French and many Flemish channels,no CNN,no BBC,no ARD,ZDF breakfast without joghurt rooms ok, no soap,shampoon,ecc. just very impractical soap dispensers

7.7

Hotel is within walking distance from Botanique station. I wouldn't recommend walking from central station, as the roads are steep. Request for a room that is away from the street, so it is quiet. Make sure you bring your own alarm clock. Breakfast is very good!

8.1

The rooms are spacious and my stay was the most memorable one, it's in the very close vicinity with some halal muslim restaurants making our stay even more enjoyable

8.0

EXCELENTE UBICACION,ATENCIÓN Y COMODIDAD DE LAS HABITACIONES. RECOMIENDO PLENAMENTE ESTE HOTEL YA QUE NO ES CARO Y SU INFRAESTRUCTURA ES MUY BUENA. LA LIMPIEZA DE LA HABITACIÓN EXCELENTE, ADEMAS TIENE AIRE ACONDICIONADO QUE EN VERANO ES IDEAL.

9.4

The hotel is very near to the center. Therefore, you can walk to the main sites. Very niche atmosphere.

5.8

noisy road.

9.4

I stayed a double room,very spacious,luminous,the bath room was just renovated. Near metro station. Between the hotel and the station,there is a spermarket. Very comfotable.Thank you!

9.3

The Villa Royale Hotel completely met my expectations. It was a pretty, clean hotel with basic services as can be expected for the price. A great location, within good walking distance of the subway and the pretty botanic gardens. We arrived on a very rainy night, later than our scheduled time and the receptionist was very kind and helpful. I'd definitely stay there again and recommend it to other visitors to Brussels.

9.6

Ordentliches Hotel mit guter Verkehrsanbindung (Tram vor der Tür, Metro ca. 5min. Gehweg) und innenstadtnaher Lage, am Wochenende kostenlose Parkmöglichkeiten in der Umgebung. Gutes Frühstücksbuffet, saubere Zimmer mit sehr schönem Bad, Wellness-Bereich vorhanden, aber von uns nicht genutzt. Dass die Tram direkt vor dem Haus fährt, könnte für manchen eine störende Lärmblästigung darstellen, wir haben jedoch sehr ruhig geschlafen und Verkehr und Tram bei geschlossenem Fenster nicht wahrgenommen. Insgesamt ein empfehlenswertes Hotel mit gutem Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis.

A great night at excellent price. MAny thanks to both the hotel (such a great one!) and Venere web site!

7.1

we were on the the side of the road

6.1

Clean little hotel, in a not so nice street of Brussels; not a good restaurant around; it is accesible by metro; I booked this hotel as an experiment to see what a 2-star hotel is in the European capital---lesson, stick with the average 3-star; the redeeming quality of this hotel is the very helpful staff and clean room.

6.6

according to me, this hotel is good for one or two night, not for one week.

8.6

Wonderful stay, overall! Some disappointments are relatively noisy room-cause our room is on the street, other rooms may be ok, but our room is slightly noisy- and wireless internet services-not good in our room. But, it is very close to the brussel nord station and very easily connected brussel's most attractive sites. I definitely recommend this hotel to the young couples or budget travelers. Save your money and don't miss the good quality room and bathroom with tub.

9.8

just three subway stations, from central train station. Excellent breakfast, very clean, nice staff, nice hotel in general.

9.0

This place is a great deal (I paid EUR 55). It's a just a 15-20 minute walk to the main tourist area. The staff were very helpful and breakfast good. I stayed here 3 nights and had to transfer to hotel near the tourist center (for business) that was twice the price with much lower quality rooms and a poor breakfast. I wish I could have stayed at the Ville Royal the whole time. Be sure to take a walk in the Botanical Garden grounds across the street and also try a Turkish pizza on the street just one block to the south of the hotel. One caution: Gard de Nord train station is close but it's a steep uphill climb to the hotel. Taxi's are not always easy to find. Also, the area just around Gard de Nord is seedy (but I think still safe).

8.0

I spend a nice time in your hotel : the room was spacious and qiet so I think I will come back to your hotel.

8.6

Very nice hotel, customer service is great, easily accessible by public transport from the main tourist atttractions and shooping. Also 10 min walk from Brussels Nord train station. All in all, great hotel, if i come back to Brussels will definitely stay there again!
