I won't give a bad review because it's a budget-friendly hotel. Yes, compared to others in the area, the standard is lower. The hotel room feels like a capsule hotel, and the bathroom and toilet are so small you can barely fit in.
However, the hotel's price is accordingly lower. The breakfast was clean but the selection was quite poor. The budget concept prevails here too. But you could add eggs to your menu, the breakfast selection is really lacking.
My towels and bedding in the hotel room were clean. However, I had an insect visitor in the sink, which might indicate problems with pest control. You should look into that.
Very good hotel, in an old complex, very close to the city center and the University of Leuven. The room was simple and clean, the breakfast was great, there were many choices, the quality was good, it was worth staying.

I booked this hotel near the airport to catch my flight. Its best feature is the superb location – it's right across from the departure level entrance. The breakfast was also pretty good and suited Chinese tastes.
The room is very spacious and has a kitchen, which is quite nice. The hairdryer works great, with strong airflow! You can have breakfast at the Holiday Inn across the street.
There's a free shuttle bus from the airport, but the departure times aren't very accurate. We queued at 6:30 PM for the 6:50 PM bus, but it still hadn't arrived by 7:10 PM, so we ended up taking an Uber. On the way back to the hotel, we actually ran into the shuttle bus that was supposed to take us there earlier... There's also a free shuttle bus to the airport, and its departure times are more or less on schedule.
PS: For travelers departing from Brussels Airport, make sure to arrive at the airport three hours in advance, otherwise, you'll be queuing for a very long time and might miss your flight.
The hotel doesn’t look like much from the outside but inside it’s very nicely decorated and has a great atmosphere,
Staff is super helpful and friendly.
Overall an amazing hotel and I definitely recommend it for the price.
Great experience!
We were 3 people + 2 dogs. The room and bathroom was spacious and very clean.
The staff was very friendly.
The breakfast was and had a lot of choices.
Dogs welcome!
The hotel is just beside the building where people do their IELTS English which was perfect for us.You walk out the door behind the reception and straight in to the Madison Building, IP Campus.
Just a couple of things that could be better.
No fridge in the room. No coffee machine, just instant coffee.
Parking 15€ for the night.
And for info. There isn't a restaurant in the hotel. We thought we could have had lunch where we had breakfast, but it wasn't possible. Instead you can buy ready-made meals and warm then up in a microwave. It wasn't too bad of quality though. Freshly made in glass jars and 3 vegetarian options.
I have never had doubts about Novotel, having stayed at Novotel hotels in Antwerp, Singapore, and now Brussels. I usually have good experience with Novotel hence the hotel has been my choice. Normally, I always inform the hotel in advance if I will be checking in late by using the link provided by Trip.com, and I usually receive a prompt and professional response from Novotel hotels.
Unfortunately, my experience with Novotel Brussels Airport was disappointing. Despite sending emails to inform them about my late check-in—first via the *********** link and then directly to the hotel—I received no response at all. This is unusual, as on the same day I contacted two different hotels for upcoming stays, and the other hotel replied promptly. Only Novotel Brussels Airport did not respond.
There was also a booking issue where I was told that my two children were not included in the reservation, even though the booking was made through Trip.com’s automated system and full payment had already been completed. The receptionist told me they cant do anything since I came late. But I showed them my email via the trip.com link and they said that was not their email address. So Is the management or your staffs not doing a good homework professionally?
To make matters worse, I accidentally left my mobile phone at the hotel and only realized it half a day later. When I called the hotel, I was told to send an email. I emailed twice, yet I still have not received any reply. It is very frustrating when phone assistance is unhelpful and emails are simply ignored.
Overall, I felt unsupported and unsure where to seek help due to the lack of response and assistance. This experience does not meet the standards I have come to expect from Novotel. I sincerely hope Novotel Brussels Airport will improve its communication and customer service.
Prettig verblijf gehad, kamer was niet bijzonder groot maar prima als solo reiziger.
Vriendelijk personeel en leuke huiselijke setting van lobby c.q. restaurant waar je 's avonds kan kiezen uit een bescheiden menu. Het ontbijt was super!
Locatie was top en afstand tot de luchthaven niet ver. Prima te bereiken met de bus.
Zou hier volgende keer zeker weer verblijven.
A truly perfect stay; everything was exactly as pictured. The room was spacious, clean, and very well-equipped, making you feel right at home thanks to the kitchenette and comfortable living areas. The staff was welcoming and professional. The breakfast was plentiful and varied.
The only slight drawback: the hotel is located about 30 minutes from Brussels city center, but it's ideal for a stay near the airport.
Great
