"The staff are really great. I mean, the facilities are quite wonderful but it was the service experience that I appreciated the most. And the breakfast - my goodness! I really enjoyed all of the food, and I did try just about everything during my stay. The bread and pastries were fantastic, the coffee was lovely. Lots of other nice stuff - cheese and so on. Really great. Also there is a nice little patio area outside which was perfect for having a relaxing breakfast in the fresh air and sunshine.
Access: I arrived on a city bus from Brussels Airport. The airport bus area is a real nightmare currently (May 2026), so I don't recommend that right now. But after they fix the bus terminal, it would be a good option (if you don't have a lot of luggage). It is a short walk from the bus stop to Penta Hotel. I took a rideshare back to the airport when I left.
The room was cozy and comfortable. The bathroom facilities were good. The bed was very comfortable, nice bedding and pillows. I slept very well. The A/C wasn't working well, but it was during the heat wave and everyone was having issues in the country at the time. So I think it's not surprising.
The vibe of the hotel is really cool. It definitely worked for me, lots of neat design stuff and graphics and knick-nacks with a lot of character. It fit my taste very well and hopefully you would like it too. I didn't get a chance to use the pool table in the lobby but I'm going to make a point of it next time.
In summary: a funky and comfortable place to stay, good value for the price, outstanding breakfast and amazing, friendly and courteous staff. Very happy I found this place. (Apparently it's a small chain, so I will look for them when I am travelling in other places)"
