Escale Hotel

Great location if you arrive by bus from Charleroi airport or by Eurostar

No air conditioning

Convenient walking distance to train/bus station. Friendly staff. Clean. Comfortable.

A hot pot for coffee/tea in room would have been nice.

It was spacious and clean.

It did not serve any breakfast so we had to find a place to eat outside every day.

1) location is great - very close to the railway station + tram/metro/bus; 2) nice and welcoming staff 3) cleaning with towels change done every day 4) spacious room.

1) noisy, yes (both from outside but also inside - thin walls) 2) huge room but poorly furnished, e.g. just one tiny wardrobe, barely sufficient to put clothes in for 2 people 3) wifi was not working 4) tv was dead because of no wifi - there were just 5 channels in poor quality from the external aerial 5) toilet bowl slightly leaking 6) hand shower spray element leaking severely 7) to sum up: way too pricey considering the issues above.
