Hotels in Louise, Ixelles

I can't say enough about great stays at Moxy. When I go to Europe, I generally try to find a reasonably priced, independent boutique hotel in the city center with high ratings. But on several recent occasions, I found myself in hotels that were clean, well-appointed and convenient to everything, but which had scratchy sheets or hot foam pillows. So for Brussels I reunited myself with Moxy. It was more than a half a mile walk from the central train station, but that wasn't a deterrent. The lobby was as comfortable and eye-catching as every other Moxy I've stayed in. The breakfast offering was amazing with a massive choice of hot food, pastries, nuts/granola, juices, sliced meat and cheeses and, of course, coffee, espresso and cappuccino. The bed completely relaxed my body after a sleepless redeye flight. And the spacious Villeroy & Boch shower further reinvigorated my stiff bones. Moxy hotels are great. Stay in one if you haven't already.

The room size was OK. I was in a Deluxe room on the 2nd floor with balcony and view to the inner courtyard. I had specifically asked for a quiet room on a higher floor (arrival was on a Friday, stayed until Sunday). During both nights there were festivities going on in the hotel (first a bachelor party and the next night the wedding). The noise (music, etc.) in the evening and during the night was unacceptable for such a high standard hotel. Even when the windows were closed, the noise was clearly audible. Around midnight I went to the reception to complain - both nights. I was told that this event would go on until at least 3 a.m. I was offered to move to another room - but I did not accept that, since I expected to be disturbed by the noise in most rooms. I was told that at my check-out a manager would be available to take in person my complaint - which, of course did not happen. On Saturday after lunch I wanted to have coffee/cake with a friend in the hotel restaurant/terrace. It took the waiter almost 20 minutes to come and take our order. When arriving at our table, he just told us that there is a QR code which we need to scan in to see the menu. We did not place an order and left - very disappointing experience! Another issue was that I was travelling alone and was put in a room with connecting doors, which I believe is not suitable for solo travellers, esp. for females. I informed the hotel about all the above and received only very poor replies. The noise situation has to be improved - if a hotel does not have suitable rooms for parties, then don't rent them out when you have paying guests who at least want to sleep at midnight.

We stayed on a Saturday to Monday in June, reception staff let us check in just after 11:30am which was really nice. The room was great and spacious, bed very comfy and large, air con worked perfectly for a hot weekend, the shower was amazing and good power, also the lovely L’Occitane products!! The hotel is modern and clean, good breakfast, lovely lounging bar area outside - although expensive, the espresso martini was a good one and I enjoyed the club sandwich. A couple of times our vodka was forgotten & we were just given soft drinks but they sorted it at the bar, a shame that the cheaper vodka brands were all gone though.. Louise is a good area and also not a far walk to the main grand place central area too. Our favourite restaurant nearby was colonel steakhouse, there are also lots of shops and bars. I wish we stayed more than 2 nights. If we return to Brussels we would definitely stay here again thank you!

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)!

Very nice hotel, just had a little trouble finding it but that was probably down to us. Clean, spacious rooms, quiet and close to transport. Friendly staff, good food, no problems at all. Would recommend.

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.

B And B Brussels is pretty much what i want in a hotel It's a refinished brand name hotel that has a bit of a hostel vibe. It is *****ped back in a good way. The bed is great. The bathroom is good hotel standard. The towels are big, fluffy and clean. There are no wardrobes. Who cares? There are hangers on a rail. There is a small wall safe. There are two coffee mugs and a good espresso machine down the hall. So much better than instant in the room. The iron and ironing board is also down the hall, fine, i don't often use ironing boards. This makes sense. There is no phone. Contact reception using WhatsApp. Easy peasy. The Wifi is free and good. There is parking, gym, and nightly cinema. Good standard breakfast buffet. Good location. I'll be back. I'm a happy guest.

The hotel is a little distance from the station and the main attractions. When you go to the hotel, there are many uphill sections and some sections are under construction. The hotel lobby has a different style of seating area, which is spacious and has an elevator to take. The style of the room is minimal, the environment is clean, and the space is small (a little crowded, unable to flatten two open suitcases); the shower has a shower, the strength is enough, but the drainage is very slow; there is no air conditioning in the room. The window needs to be opened for ventilation, but the sound on the road outside after opening the window is very noisy. The breakfast style is rich and delicious, and hot water needs to be available at the counter. The hotel counter staff was kind and friendly, and met a girl who could speak Chinese when checking out.

The younger brother at the front desk was very polite and nice. Breakfast is good, although there are not many varieties. The room is not big, expected. After all, the price is OK. There are too few charging sockets, this is not expected. The room is on the 4th floor, but after entering the front desk, you have to go to the next floor and then go to the fourth floor. It is 10 floors back and forth. Although the hotel said sorry, the elevator was not repaired and it was really too painful. The family is old, 10 floors back and forth, climbing two or three times, too tired. It is recommended to ask the hotel elevator before booking.

The tour company booked this hotel for a one night stay on the way to Maastrict. Everything was excellent especially the food and the reception EXCEPT IN OUR ROOM THERE WAS A LOW BLACK TABLE ON A BLACK RUG THAT DAMAGED MY LEG WHEN I WALKED INTO THIS CAMOUFLAGED ITEM (AND AFTER 6 WEEKS I STILL HAVE A MARK), AND A TV THAT STUCK OUT AT EYE LEVEL LOCATED ON THE WAY FROM THE BED TO THE BATHROOM. I reported this to the Duty Manager on the day of departure after our one night stay to be told the it was all designed by a Norwegian Architect and I responded that they should have use a French or British one. I was then told that they were a Norwegian Company, and that they had recognised this problem some time ago and were renovating all the rooms in that block.
