Room is not big but cosy and clean. Lobby interior is a fusion of old furniture and modern paintings. Breakfast is not varied but tasteful. Waitress had a struggle with waffle cooking, but I liked the result.

Location is so-so. Not far away from the city center (25 min walk), but the area is quite dirty. My wife would feel uncomfortable walking there alone in the evening. It's 5 minute walk away from the nearest bus stop and 15 minute away from the nearest subway station.

The room was nice and clean, the view was nice and the bed was good.

I expected from my booking that breakfast would be included. When I arrived staff told me it wasn’t included. The room seemed to be recently redecorated. The fire detector was still covered up with tape from the paint job. Besides this there were no bedside lamps and the room lighting could only be operated from the door which was at least 4 meters from the bed. Both inconveniences can be easily fixed. I hope you’ll look into it. My room number was 100. Due to the layout of the room there was no room fore a chair. For a one night stay that’s fine. For staying longer that is inconvenient

I loved the breakfast! It was simple but delicious, fresh and healthy. Everyday there was a fresh smoothie of different kind. I also liked the organic jams and Belgian waffles! I definitely recommend it saves a lot of hassle. The staff was very attentive and helpful, definitely the biggest advantage! I felt welcomed and it made my stay there a lot better :) The room is quite basic but very functional with a very good shower so it was a nice surprise! The hotel is very close to the city centre so it's a big plus too. The walk there was alright and pleasant :)

- soundproofing. I could hear people walking above me. However, in comparison to hotels in the UK at least I didn't hear anyone so the soundproofing is not too bad. - a walk to Clemenceau station. It seemed a bit doggy at times but if you're going mostly to the city centre it's not a problem. - lack of a fridge and a kettle - toiletries. I tend to have dry hands so the soap wasn't gentle on them.

The hotel was very clean, beds were extremely comfortable and we slept very well. The rooms were cleaned with fresh towels daily. There was no noise from other residents or the surrounding area. Location is not as close to city centre as stated but an easy walk, out of hotel, turn left and walk in a straight line for 15 mins. Overall we very much enjoyed our stay at Hotel Van Helen.

We were told the bar would close at midnight, and we arrived back to hotel 10:45 to be told the bar was closed. The receptionist was not very helpful when assistance was sought to the railway (Midi Station) it was as if it was too much hassle for her to help. Could do with a kettle and cups to make a hot drink.

Hotel is so good. Facilities are so complete

Location, neighborhood look so dirty and dangerous so sad, because the hotel is marvelous

A modern and stylish hotel that exceeded expectations. The rooms were exceptionally clean, simply decorated and quiet, with a very comfortable bed and high-quality pillows that made for a restful night's sleep. The lobby area was inviting and well-designed — a great place to relax or wait for a ride. The hotel is conveniently located, about a 13-minute walk to Brussels Midi station, making it easily accessible for train travel. It is also 15-minute leisurely stroll to the city's iconic Grand Place, allowing guests to enjoy the local atmosphere along the way. Initially, I felt slightly uncertain about the location. While it is very close to the city centre, the surrounding area is predominantly home to Middle Eastern and African communities. As European visitors, we were among the few in the area, but at no point did we feel unsafe — even after dark. In fact, we discovered a fantastic Syrian eatery on the main street, shopped at well stocked supermarket, sampled treats from a local sweet shop, and genuinely enjoyed the vibrant cultural mix of the neighborhood. The only aspect that could benefit from some attention was the general cleanliness of the streets of the neighborhood, as there was a noticeable amount of litter around.

Nothing negative to report about.

I had a wonderful stay at Hotel Van Belle! From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel welcome and went above and beyond to ensure I was comfortable. The room was spotless, well-appointed, and had everything I needed for a relaxing stay except electric kettle, tea and coffee stuff, but this is just my need (Really love tea almost every minute) nothing to complain about hotel though. One of the highlights was the cozy bed with fluffy pillows, lovely views on garden and squeaky bathroom ^^ The restaurant/bar was exceptional, offering reaaaaaly good tomato soup and delicious bread with butter. The location was perfect, with nearby attractions and walk arounds. Overall, the attention to detail and excellent service made my stay truly memorable. I’d definitely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Brussels. Thank you, Hotel Van Belle, for such an amazing experience - I hope to return soon! Best wishez

Everything was pretty good. I don't remember anything I didn't like.

The hotel has an underground garage with 24-hour private parking, which was perfect since we came by car. It’s close to the historic city center, and getting to the main highways was easy. We found this very helpful as we were making trips to other cities around Brussels. The place looks modern and stylish, it’s quiet at night, and the rooms seemed well soundproofed because nothing disturbed our sleep. I would also like to express my gratitude to the hotel staff for their help and willingness to assist. Definitely recommend this place to stay in Brussels!

Great hotel, new and modern feel. Has a good and secure underground parking with good size bay, easy access to and from the hotel. 20-25 minute walk into the central area of Brussels through the local area which looks a bit run down but was fine. Lovely room, good size and large double bed, we didn’t eat or drink here as we were only staying 1 night but looked great and the staff were very friendly and helpful.

No issues, only as mentioned before the hotel is clean and modern in a more run down area but this was not a problem.

LOVED the bar/restaurant service, tasty breakfast and chilled vibe of the place. The bed was super comfy and the room was nice and dark for sleeping. The chef, Mimoun, cooked up a delicious meal for dinner even though it was close to closing time and Sarah on the desk was incredibly helpful too. To be honest, all the staff were an absolute pleasure to talk to.

The local area surrounding the hotel was the only downside to be honest. But I understand that this is well out of the hotel team's control.
