Brussels hotels near Centre de Conference Albert Borschette

Cons: We got to the room late in the evening, the receptionist gave us our room key. When we got to our room, our key didn't work. This happens sometimes so we weren't too upset. I came back downstairs and told another guy at the desk that we had just arrived and that our key didn't work. He fixed it and apologized, we headed to our room. When we opened the door, a woman shot up out of bed and asked "who's there". I felt terrible. Tried to apologize quickly as I spun out the door. I went back down to the desk and the people working had figured out what happened because the lady I walked in on called the front before we got down. They gave a voucher for 1 free glass of wine or beer and gave us the new key and apologized once more. When I turned to walk away, I realized that the same room that we just interrupted that woman in was still written on the key holder card. I turned and told him "this the same room we just came from". He said "oh, oh, I'm sorry." And gave me the right number. But he almost sent us back to the wrong room a third time. All kinds of other things went wrong while we were there. Loud construction RIGHT outside our window at 6am every morning. We were told we would get a five dollar voucher for the bar for every morning we didn't get our room cleaned and we never got it. 4 days in a row, we didn't want our room cleaned. We didn't care about the voucher, but when we went to the desk to ask for an extra bottle of water for our room (which comes with a free bottle of still water and sparkling every morning if you get it cleaned) the desk attendant said we couldn't have free water if our room hadn't been serviced. But when I mentioned that we never received our vouchers, there was some reason we couldn't get that either. I was so frustrated from no sleep from the construction and all the other issues (many of them too small of importance but also too many to list) that I stopped listening to their reasoning. I had decided that I'll never stay at this hotel again. Which is unfortunate because I had stayed there one night last time I was in Belgium. I didn't have much interaction with the staff as it was another late night. I just needed a bed for the evening. My only complaint was the location was kind of inconvenient but after this experience, i realized the problems are far worse than the location

Cons: Hotel will not loan adapter most basic thing in most hotel bug charged almost 10€ for one. Stayed with other hotels in area none does this

Cons: The staff was really rude when we were checking out. There was a problem with an overcharged credit card and they made it to seem like it was our fault and took forever to fix it. Also the location was close to a bad neighborhood and it was really far from the city center

Cons: Not much negative to say. The location is a bit of a hike from the tourist hotspots like the Grand Place. It's close to the Botanique metro station which was convenient but it would have been nicer to have a quicker walk to the city center instead. If you do walk to the city center from the hotel, make sure to walk through the gardens and then down Rue Neuve - it's much nicer than walking between all of the business buildings.

Cons: The arrangement of having the shower in the bathtub is a bit cumbersome

Cons: cleanliness not spotless; reception often congested.

Cons: Despite paying for a room for 3, they provided no sheets for the pull out bed. Similarly, not enough towels and certainly not enough coffee in the morning! Room was too warm despite adjusting the A/C to the maximum setting. Strange sulfur smell coming from the bathroom.

Cons: The wifi in the hotel wouldn't connect with my phone. The hotel is located in a very fashionable district, but with limited dining options. Most importantly the hotel DOES NOT provide airport transport, this was the main reason I booked with them. Any hotel can call a taxi to take you to the airport (at your own cost) that should not qualify as airport transport.

Cons: The hotel looks a little outdated and the carpets in all the areas probably need to be replaced

Cons: Far away to city center Nothing walkable distance

Cons: Shuttle service, have variety in dinner and lunch,

Cons: The rooms were not really cleaned properly. Trash was taken out but quite a number of trash was left strewn on the floor in both the room and bathroom. Large trash items like empty water bottles were left behind as well as kleenex. This happened twice. Also toiletries were not replenished properly. Bad cleaning service for sure. Toilet was separate from the bathroom which is odd so there was no water within reach. Wifi was not working in the room until I checked if it was included in the package and they fixed it but not after several attempts. The food in the restaurants downstairs were also too expensive. Not really commensurate with the prices outside where there were many restaurants.

Cons: Located near train station. Big market on Sunday’s just in front of the hotel. £30 parking. £20 breakfast. All neighborhood is mix of arab quarter and ethiopian, not really pleasant place to be.

Cons: Passed on the €22 breakfast - a less expensive option would have been nice

Cons: Headboard of the bed was worn and should have been changed - it looked really tacky and cheap. Location of the hotel is not the greatest but it will do cause you’re only there to sleep. Don’t let this deter you from staying, just wanted to let you guys know about the facts. At first I was hesitant to stay due to what I said previously, but their service and cleaniness changed my mind about how I felt

Cons: staff, facilities, internet The facilities were poorly up-kept, the internet was extremely slow and the shower did not work. The staff was incredibly rude and they refused to fix the shower or allow us to change rooms the first day. The first few times we brought up the problem, they insinuated that the shower definitely worked, and that we were too incompetent to operate it. The third time, they finally had someone come up to look at the shower, and of course it was broken. Apparently one staff member's confirmation that our shower was broken was not good enough though, and they had to get another staff member to check the shower [which was still obviously broken] again. This whole process took around an hour of the little time we had in Brussels before we were allowed a new room. Furthermore, even after they acknowledged the broken shower, they were not the least bit apologetic for wasting our time and not believing us in the first place. As a last insult, they tried to charge us for items in the minibar that we did not take. Overall, it would have been a nice stay if there weren't any issues that needed staff help, but if something arises and you need the help of the staff, good luck because you'll need it.

Cons: It would have been nice to have breakfast included as part of the 10 day stay - Breakfast was 17 Euro ($18.00 USD).
