B&B HOTEL Brussels Centre Gare du Midi

We did have a problem on the first night booked 2 twin rooms and only one available which was not ideal but on the second day they really did help and gave us another room which we really appreciated and the man on reception was brilliant even though it was not his fault.

Easy as it's right next to the train station. Fun view of the cannal too.

Pros: I loved the technology that this hotel provides. Different types of coded locks for better security along with an easy master switch next to the bed so you don't need to get up to turn off everything. They do provide a complimentary hot beverage upon checking into the hotel as well so that's a plus! Free locker service to hold luggages before check in is an added convenient bonus as well! The location is the best because it is right next to a major train station for easy connections and departures. Cons: (Discretion: There is a sign on the door saying you can phone to ask for anything you might need) One look in the bathroom and you can see that compared to a North American style hotel, you won't find ice buckets because there's no ice machine in this property. There's also no Kleenex box so if you want to blow your nose you'll have to settle for the toilet paper there. The shower door has no "door" because of its half open design. So after you finish showering the chances of the bathmat being soaked is quite high. You'll also notice signs of wear such as stains on the bathroom counter that just can't be removed (not the hotel staff's fault) but just the nature of the material etc. Finally the door to the outer balcony can be tricky to open and close because the locking mechanism has been warped from previous use.

Close to public transports lots of restaurants around the area. Staff were very helpful.
