Best Hotels in 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.

All staff were excellent and helpful. Convenient location right next to Gare du Midi, about 20 minutes' walk to Grand Place (ie tourist centre). Comfortable very clean room. Good breakfast. Useful later checkout time of Midday. Good wifi. The rooms are on the small side and there is a previously mentioned design fault in the bathroom which means the shower tray is too small with limited screen so it is easy to flood the floor if not careful (this would have been easy to anticipate and is frankly ridiculous) . Several power points in room but no kettle and there was no free tea/coffee as mentioned in previous reviews except at breakfast (so bring your own kettle and cups etc if you enjoy hot beverages in the room). The breakfast area is also very cramped and gets awkward getting food when there are more than a few people there. I can't help but feel a bit of attention at the design stage would have remedied a lot of these problems. The area the hotel is located in may be a little seedy for some - similar to areas near big stations in many large European cities . But it is only 3 minutes walk from Eurostar arrival.

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

Good value for money

The road around the hotel is being repaired. The road is dirty and it is inconvenient to pull in and out with luggage. In the evening, there are many black people standing around. It feels unsafe. The hotel service is good. Breakfast is ok. You can fry eggs. The hotel itself is quite clean, very close to the train station, and a four or five minute walk.

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.

The hotel is very well located, with public parking available with direct access to the hotel for 20 € per 24 hours. The room is great, the bed is amazing! Another thing to raise, is the breakfast, amazing options per 15 € if you choose to buy at check in or before the breakfast day. Great selection of juice, cheese, breads, eggs and everything is delicious! Really good experience. There is a bar available for good drinks and dinner/snacks options!

The airport is about 20 mins from the hotel and cost about EUR46. As we arrived early morning into Brussels, we were able to leave our luggage at the hotel and go for a wonder into the city. The hotel also due to availability allowed earlier check in later in the day which was ideal. The location of the hotel was perfect as we were within 10 mins walking location of all the major tourist sights including Grand Place, Mannekin Pis, Choco Museum as well as some historical stunning Churches, some of which were literally on the other side of the hotel. The hotel is surrounded by many different restaurants and cafes - of all budgets including so many halal options which was a total surprise. There are also supermarkets within walking distance for water/snacks etc. Room was cleaned everyday and all staff were always friendly and attentive. Facilities in the room include tea/coffee making and one bottle of water as well as the standard things. Breakfast - excellent variety, plentiful, fresh and delicious and all staff were very friendly and cheerful especially towards children which was great to see. Worth paying extra to include breakfast. Swimming Pool - small but was ideal and my son enjoyed this, shallow water which is perfect for children. There is also some gaming/fun for children in the lounge. Again due to late evening flight, we were able to leave our luggage and do last minute shopping and a visit to the Choco Museum. We really enjoyed our stay here and would definitely stay here again if we visit Brussels and would highly recommend to anyone visiting the city.

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!

This hotel was a perfect location to explore Brussels. It was also very luxurious and the staff took great care of us. It is very close to the metro which can allow to you get anywhere including the airport, train stations, and various sights. Many great restaurants are in walking distance. Most sights are also walkable as well, though walking downhill might inspire you to take a bus back, If you get a room in the back you have a nice view of the central courtyard of the hotel which provides a nice peaceful atmosphere to relax.
