Hotels in Sint-Gillis / Saint-Gilles, Saint-Gilles

Stayed here two nights in mid-January 2023. Hotel is located in a gritty area, with much construction, but just a five minute walk to the main train station, with many transit connections. It's about a 10 - 20 minute walk to various tourist sites in the city. There are convenience stores and dining options nearby. Staff was OK but not overly friendly. Single room was small, but clean and the price was fair. There was a heating/AC unit on the wall but one button was missing and it didn't appear to be working. Temp was OK. There was a small desk and chair. Shower and sink were in the room and toilet in a small closet. The window opened into a narrow ventilation shaft so it was rather dark. Wifi, lights and TV worked fine. I didn't pay for the breakfast. It wasn't great, but it did the trick.

Back in Brussels for the weekend, my partner comes regularly for work so we opted for this hotel as much cheaper than options in the tourist areas. Was pleasantly surprised how nice this hotel was, clean and modern in the lobby with a bar (that was always deserted). We'd booked a King Deluxe Room and the friendly guy kept referring to it as a 'suite' - whether we'd been moved up a level I don't know, but the room was huge - and recently refurbished. Our room was located in the further section of the hotel, down a corridor. The hotel was quiet and we slept well, the room had a full kitchen, even with a dishwasher. The only negatives were not enough plug sockets and the toilet was by the door, the rest of the bathroom was around the other side, my partner who works and stays in Belgium regularly advised this is becoming more of the norm but was the first time I had experienced it, and a bit annoying in the night when you're full of belgian beer... Hotel isn't located in the most picturesque area but never felt unsafe, you experience more unsavoury characters around Brussels Midi Station. Very close to the Saint Gilles Square where the eateries and bars were bustling, this is more of a local area but everyone is welcome, and food and drinks are half the price of the area around Grand Place. Close to a metro station to visit the rest of the city, and you can walk to Midi station in around 10-15 minutes (note that this walk towards the hotel is slightly uphill)!

With a stay at Citybox Brussels, you'll be centrally located in Brussels, steps from Avenue Louise and within a 5-minute drive of Royal Palace of Brussels. This hotel is 1.4 mi (2.2 km) from La Grand Place and 7.4 mi (11.9 km) from Atomium.Featured amenities include a 24-hour business center, express check-in, and a 24-hour front desk.Make yourself at home in one of the 246 guestrooms. Complimentary wireless internet access is available to keep you connected. Private bathrooms with showers feature rainfall showerheads and hair dryers. Conveniences include desks, and housekeeping is provided once per stay.

We stayed here for one night while travelling by train from Ostend to London. The hotel is situated opposite the Gare de Midi in an 'edgy' part of the city which felt very intimidating particularly later in the day - there were numerous inebriated people and beggars around. The road outside the hotel is very busy. Check-in was friendly and efficient. We had a room on the 4th floor. There is one small lift to all floors which is insufficient for the size of hotel. Our room was very small - barely enough room to walk around the double bed and to include a suitcase.- strangely the bathroom had plenty of room. There was a disproportionately large TV dominating the room. The big window opened fully onto courtyards that had decades worth of building material dumped in them - but, on the upside , there was no street noise at all. The air-conditioning was barely able to keep the room cool, so the opening window was needed. The breakfast area was equally undersized with far too many guests crammed in a small area all getting in the way of the staff doing their best to try to keep the room tidy. The breakfast was best described as 'adequate' - certainly nothing special, and definitely not relaxing. The price is set by the location of this hotel close to the main international rail station, but for the size of the room, and the unpleasant area outside, coupled with the mediocre breakfast - the price we paid was far too high.

We stayed for 2 nights, a Friday and Saturday and had arrived at 1pm but were told we couldn’t check in as too early although we didn’t need the room but it would of saved time as when we came back at 3.30 – there was a long line and an hour wait, so not the best start. Then our room was on the 1st floor when we’d requested a high floor (there are 8 floors). We used the stairs and were greeted by an awful smell, lots of rubbish and dirty laundry by the service lift. The corridor is dark and the carpet desperately needed vacuuming! The room view/ambiance was very disappointing as so dark and gloomy as per photos. Anyway, other than the noise outside from the trams and drunken party goers late at night – you might get some sleep if you’re not a light sleeper like me as even ear plugs couldn’t block out the noise. The bed was huge and very comfy with 2 x single duvets, room was large/clean and bathroom had a good shower/ hot water. There are only 2 pillows which are very soft, fortunately we had our own (as we had travelled by car). There is a fridge in the room and coffee/tea/kettle. Breakfast was chaos Saturday morning; everything had run out and hadn’t been replenished. Lots of people complaining and I overheard someone saying they wouldn’t be paying. The next day wasn’t quite as hectic (we went earlier to avoid the rush). Still very busy but at least there was butter for the bagels/bread and eggs in the cooked station. What we had was enjoyable especially the sausages. If you’re staying more than one night, there is the option to have a voucher for a free drink instead of housekeeping which we went for. Parking: Public car park located under the hotel and costs 22 euros per 24 hours. No discount available for hotel guests. Location: Easy to get around from here on foot although unfortunately there were quite a few homeless people/beggars in the area. With so many hotels available, we wouldn’t return to this one.

This is a fantastic small hotel. The rooms are super clean and stylish. This is an ideal location for wandering into the city and exploring. The hotel is set in a small quiet street with a pizzeria and patisserie opposite. 20 mins walk into the old town and there is plenty of sightseeing to be done. Marco the hotel manager/receptionist/barman has a wealth of knowledge and was kind enough to point us in the right direction for everything from the best places to eat to how to catch the train. The buffet breakfast is really good - everything you could want. We will definitely be back.

Really great stay at this very pleasant and nicely located hotel. We used this as our base having travelled across on Eurostar. The hotel is a 10 minute walk from the station. Like all European main stations it’s a bit seedy around the adjacent area but we felt safe. The MIDI station also has an amazing array of shops to hand if you just want a quick snack or get breakfast while on the move. Hotel was clean and the air con was amazing given this was two of those baking 38degree days! Only minor criticisms were the towels were very small for a modern hotel, the maid service is often late (although we were on top floor so perhaps last!) and breakfast very expensive (but see earlier comment) - none of which affected my scoring.

Booked this last minute and pleasantly surprised with how nice this hotel was. Staff are friendly and my room was immaculate! Looked like it had just been refurbished. I will definitely consider booking this same hotel again. The location was very convenient as it’s just a short walk away from Gare du Midi/Brussels Zuid station.

After a horrible Eurostar experience, Cynthia at the Park Inn reception made us feel very welcome and let us get settled quickly as well as taking care of our bags. Absolutely fantastic customer service that I cannot fault.

Rather clean room, very comfortable bed, good welcome. I only stayed one night to catch the train early the next day, so it was well suited, located opposite the Gare du Midi, 3 mins on foot. Only downside we hear a little noise in the hallway but it did not prevent me from sleeping
