Saint-Gilles Hotels with Wi-Fi

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.

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.

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.

Definitely not for the faint hearted. Was a one night stop so we survived. Area was not great but convenient for train station. However this is not my main gripe Firstly the room smelt absolutely appallingly. Strange musk like cigarettes and damp combined. Secondly some of the lights did not work. Thirdly the air conditioning began to leak water all over my bags. And finally got awoken at 7:30am from labourers working inside the hotel drilling banging and hammering away

I spent two nights at the Mercure hotel near Brussels midi station, so that I could be close to the conference I was attending nearby. Hotel faces an enormous building site. This isn’t too much of a problem as I couldn’t see much actual work taking place, but it is an enormous project and one would think that this could be quite noisy. The area surrounding the hotel is not great. I already knew this, but I would suggest if you’re a tourist, ignore the proximity to the station and find somewhere nicer. The building itself is fine. The reception was excellent and check-in was seamless. My real issue is with the room… Whilst I accept it is clean and tidy, the bed is unbelievably uncomfortable. The mattress is absolutely no ‘give’ in it whatsoever, so much so that I had two really bad nights sleep. I also found the shower (which was clean) kept running cold when I was using it, which was extremely annoying, especially after a poor nights sleep. I payed for breakfast, which was sp**** to say the least. Very little choice. This is a fairly average business hotel and I would look elsewhere next time I was in Brussels.

Good value for money

Great hotel room. Everything was clean and well maintained. We did struggle a bit with the AC, and couldn’t really get it to work unfortunately. But great stay otherwise!

Just back from a 4 night Christmas Markets family break in Brussels, the hotel was great. I was worried given the reviews but needn't have been. The duplex apartment was prefect for our family needs, it gave the kids space and the kitchenette was unbelievably well equipped. The rooms.could get a little warm (not always a bad thing), and the windows opened without any safety catches... made.me anxiousness the 5th floor, but the kids knew to stay away. The rooms were clean and tidy,.come.wirh all you need for a short stay. Location is perfect for exploring Brussels with the Louise Metro stop just steps away. There is a grocery shop along the side of the hotel, (wish we had realised this as we used the much more expensive metro stop store) Some say they felt nervous in the area, but we were fine and no issues. Some lovely restaurants close by and cab very much recommend La Vigne for amazing food. The reception staff were always very friendly and helpful when needed. Cannot fault for a budget mini break and would definitely recommend and stay again.

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.
