Hotel Villa Royale - Brussels

A little bit noise when people in the next rooms are using the tap. The WiFi connections are not well-developed. I only accessed the internet in front of the door. But good position, walking to the shopping mall only took about 20minutes. The room is very clean. Nice room cleaning service. I recommend this hotel for staying.

Very nice room - enormous en-suite. Room was high floor with windows on main road - street noise was quite intrusive, but overall an excellent hotel and had a very pleasant experience.

The staff in this hotel was very rude and not welcoming at all. When we asked for basic directions, they were answering as quick as possible, just to get rid of us. They've told us there wasn't a shuttle bus to the airport, that there never was, when it exists! The supposely buffet breakfast consisted of a few slice of bread, ham... some butter and jam and they ask 10 euros for it! It was very noisy, mostly because of the traffic in the street, all night long.

i will never stay in this unfriendly hotel and i also will tell all my collegues from the european parlament and others, not to choose this terrible hotel. the staff is a catastrophe.

good beds and bathroom.

Shower door missing, room on light well. Lift smelt of 'cats'. Reception unable to provide change for drinks machine. Explains why it was €85/night in Brussels.

Clean but small rooms. Very noisy on street side along busy street

Very nice hotel with welcoming staff. Room was clean and specious. We did not have breakfast included therefore I am not able to give opinion bout it. Location might not be the best at first but later we realized that it was walking distance from the city center (about 15-20 minutes).Overall we are happy with the stay.

Good hotel, but the staff were not very kindly. The location is good, next to a metro station, but a little bit far from the downtown. I recommend for few days.

The Villa Royal is a very nice hotel and it is value for money. It is near to the city centre and the rooms are very comfortable and well decorated. We stayed in the new part of the hotel however unfortunately there was not telephone, hair dryer, fridge and WiFi access in the room. In addition, the staff didn't provide us information about the monuments and walking tours until we bought a map for 0.50 cent. The breakfast was poor and we waited 15 minutes to eat our corn flakes because of the late service. To cut the long story short 30 minutes before we left the room, someone opened the door of the room to check. This is too bad for the hotel.

When I arrive in the hotel was the evening,the receptionist give me the new renovated room,I was the first visitor in this room after they renovate it as they said.But the room was not equipped with lights enough,internet and minibar because it was not completed yet,so they didn't have any other free room for that night even I make the reservation one month before.I had to stay in not completed room that night and next day I changed the room,but the price was not change so no discount for not completed room even I haven't good accommodation that night.So I consider this not correct for the client,guest or visitor of Brussel

-I like the breakfast, there are different kinds of food, not just bread and drink -the bedroom is clean and nice, and there is free wifi in the room - the location of hotel is not far from train station, but hotel located in higher area, it is quite hard to walk if with heavy luggage

Good hotel, recomended. Excelent ratio Price/Quality

Good value for money for Brussels, and convenient to Gare du Nord. However, the room I had was extremely noisy due to the busy street outside. Breakfast was decent with a good variety of options. If you are only here for the weekend, this is worth considering.

Excellent price and quality for my girl friend and I -- We're college students. By far the nicest hotel/B&B we've stayed in since we've been traveling Europe. 30 euros a night per person. It was clean as could be and well maintained. I would highly recommend Villa Royale for anyone looking for a solid hotel on a budget.

The service was rude and unprofessional at best. The extra bed we requested was broken and never replaced during our entire stay. When we approached the manager about the problem, he burst out yelling, creating a scene for the whole lobby to see. At one point he kicked us out saying we couldn't stay at the hotel any longer. His attitude only changed when we continued to treat him with respect. As a seasoned traveler, I have never encountered anybody in the service industry who was so unreasonable and out of control.

We have been in Villa Royal with my daughter for 3 nights.Good location,near all tourist atractions.Clean rooms,good welcoming,not a luxury room,but spacious.The problem was the big noise coming from the street and the windows which did not close propely.

was my first time. i booked hotel through venere. when i went to hotel they told me i booked the cheapest toom and they gave me the worst room. no internet connection. bed was horrible. room was too little.no problem with heating and warm water thought. im possible to be 3 star..i rate 1.5 star

I was in Brussels couple of days and the hotel was one of the best things in the city. Also I liked very much the fact that the guests in the hotel were from all over the world.

I stayed for 3 nights in this place, and I find it very hard to find fault with this Hotel. Its modern, clean, well equiped, spacious, and the receptionist was very helpful. And, above all its very good value. The only down side is the area between Hotel and train station (Noord). It is quite seedy. But, that not the Hotel's fault. I would definitely return to this Hotel.

I'm afraid I@m unable to answer any of the above as Mr Federspiel had pneumonia and was unable to travel. Due to this, would it be possible to have some sort of compensation as I'm sure the room would have been re-sold. I am writing "0" as I don't know the answer.

I stayed in this hotel for two nights and for this period it was okay. The bed was quite "squashy". Room could have been bigger and a little bit cleaner... As the room as to the main street, it was a bit noisy, when the street cars passed... But the place is great as you can walk into old town; shopping street (nieuwe straat) is very close.

We've only stayed for a night and left soon. I wish we had a bit more time to spend it in this great value hotel. Very clean and spacious! Nice location, near metro and gare du noord - the train station. The airport is easily accessible by train.

Good ratio Q vs.P, good location, but fearful surrounds.

very good stay, good welcoming, spacious nice rooms, very good relation price and quality; we also appreciated the surrounding : the botanic park is 2mn walk.

50 meters from metro. Close to a supermarket and some restaurants. Also nearby there is an Internet point. I took a single room they gave me a big double room and very clean. American Breakfast is very good. Guys at reception are very professional and polite. Only drawback there is no wifi for free. Very confortable if you have to reach grand place, airport and monuments.

I enjoyed my stay there. I would stay there again. The only complaints I would have would be the fact that the bin wasn't emptied and the bed cover was torn.

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

no aircondition

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!

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

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).

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.

Excellent hotel, great value for money!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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!

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

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.

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

noisy road.

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!

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.

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!

we were on the the side of the road

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.

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

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.

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

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).

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

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!
