ibis Hotel Brussels Centre Gare du Midi

Location is excellent for those who travel via Gare du Midi - you just come out of Gare and you are at the hotel. Very good for those who catch early train/ flight. Staff is very helpful and welcoming. I took a room for three persons to have some more space - and it was worth it. Otherwise the hotel totally complies with IBIS standards. I read a lot of comments on Booking about issues with some unpleasant strangers when you leave the hotel. I left at 20.00 , went to the Grande Place on foot and came back - experienced no problem.

Excellent place to stay if you are needing to catch trains/Eurostar. Exiting station by track 22 you cross the road, turn left and walk 1 minute and you are there. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Our room was small but ok for overnight. Lots of pillows supplied on the bed - heaven! We were able to store our luggage while exploring the city. Need coins for the lockers. As we arrived late we didn't want to go out - had a drink and pizza ordered from the bar at the hotel - can recommend . And was not expensive.

Very much the location. And Esther/Esthel from the reception was so accommodating and very helpful on giving us directions to places we want to go. One of the staff from the breakfast was a bit rude to us. We saw 1 white couple took a paper bag for their left over food to take out and when it came to our turn, this black coloured lady stopped us loudly saying that is not allowed yet she saw the white couple did it. It was a bit discriminating but instead of arguing, we just left.

Booked family room, for 2 adults, 1 child under 5 and baby, room had double and a single bed, room was good size, clean and overall good value for money. Location was good opposite the main train station, taxi station and metro all few minutes walking distance.

The room was spacious with everything we needed and the location was very close to the train station, it is about a 20minute walk to the centre of Brussels.
