Le Centenaire - Brussels, Belgium     

- dreckig - teilweise nur kaltes Wasser - schlechter Geruch - Geschirr schmutzig - Hotel "zittert" schon frühmorgens wenn ein Tram vorbeifährt - unhygienische und unbequeme Sprungfederbetten - Wasserkocher im Zimmer mit abgestandenem Wasser, das bereits faulig riecht - Fernseher funktioniert nicht - etc., etc. - Fazit: absolut nicht empfehlenswert. Für ein Hotel in einer Grossstadt in Europa ein Alptraum!!!!!!!!!!

This is an Aparthotel. You get a room that's a lot better than you'd normally expect from a 2 star hotel, with basic cooking facilities but almost no hotel services. If you want a bar, lounge and friendly staff, this isn't for you. If you are self sufficient and like to make your own tea and coffee, this is ideal. The room was clean and well appointed, with a fair sized bathroom and a small cooking area with a microwave, hob, kettle and coffee maker. Tea, coffee and sugar are supplied. Rolls and croissants for breakfast are delivered to your door every morning. The room is cleaned every day. The hotel is in the Parks area of Brussels, a short walk from the Atomium and not far from Brupark and the exhibition area. Three tram routes stop outside the hotel and will take you to just about anywhere in the city. It's also close to 2 Metro stations. This is a fairly cosmopolitan area of the city with a high Muslim and Romanian population. They are all quite friendly, and the Saturday market is more like Tunisia than Belgium. My room was at the front and the trams were rather noisy. They don't run between midnight and 5:30 so you can sleep. This would be heaven for a tram enthusiast. The rooms at the back are quieter.
