Hotell Hôtel des Colonies - Bryssel

Slitet rum med dålig lukt av rök och rengöringsmedel (trots rökfritt), trots detta var rummet rent i alla avseenden och kändes inte ofräscht, bara slitet. Det bästa var frukostbuffén som var fräsch, dock saknade jag grönsaker. Hotellet ligger i ett dåligt område med mycket uteliggare och prostitution, som kvinna bör (och vill) man inte gå ut ensam på […] kvällen. Välj byxor och heltäckande klädsel! Läs mer

Slitet gammalt hotell. Dock rent, trevlig personal och prisvärt, bra läge nära norra station.

They charge 15 Euros for the breakfast. You get bread which is not fresh, the boiled eggs are green, and the coffee is horrible. Save the money and have breakfast somewhere else.

Nära till tåg, tundelbana och shopping gatan börjar där. Mycket för pengarna.

Mycket centralt hotell. 15 min med tåg från flygplatsen till tågstation Nord. 5 min promenad från stationen till hotellet sedan endast 5 minuter för att komma till huvudshoppinggatan. Mycket prisvärt och helt OK frukost. Kommer definitivt att boka detta igen om vi kommer åter till Bryssel!

Ett helt ok hotell om man inte förväntar sig något extra. Bra läge. Wifi i rummen saknas, men finns gratis i lobbyn. Lite nonchalant personal i receptionen när jag skulle checka in på kvällen, betydligt trevligare personal på morgonen.

The room was extremely small but clean. The hotel has six floors, each of which has more than a dozen rooms, but there's only one lift in the whole hotel, which leads to long waiting times sometimes. And the lift only works after placing the room key into a slot, which is strange enough. The location is extremely convenient though, with its proximity […] to the Underground station and Brussels North Railway station, which provides fast and easy access to and from the main airport of the city. The internet connection that is provided in the rooms has weak signal reception though, which is another minus side to this place. Läs mer

Stayed for 5 nights whilst working for the EC at Covent Garden - as such the location is perfect. The hotel room I stayed in was of a good size with a great view though rather basic and dated. Had to have a bath each morning as there was no hook for the shower-head. I didn't take breakfast in the hotel as there are a couple of options close-by. The […] hotel is "rather quiet", but was fine for what I wanted. There are plenty of places to eat in the vicinity, and all of Brussels is accessible from the Rogier Metro station. Gare du Nord is only a short walk away. For the price I paid I can't complain! Läs mer

The 1-person room was very small. The biggest problem was the shower with mold. Hotel personnel was helpful. The rest was acceptable given the great price I paid.

i chose this hotel at last minute and was lucky to get some long-stay promotion. it has unbeatable location, 5-10 minute walk from the north railway station (Brussels Noord), depending on if you carry luggage or not. Walking distance to grand plaza (15 minute) or even walkable to Sablon (45 minute with window shopping). The Rogier metro is steps away, […] so is the City2 shopping mall, with Carrefour. Sheraton, Hilton and Crown Plaza are neighboring hotels. Quite safe. The room facilities are a bit old but you can borrow hair dryer or ask for hot water at front desk (they dont provide kettle in the room). The least satisfactory is the heating system, not strong enough, though extra blanket was available in the room. Läs mer

I stayed for a week due to a business trip. The room was clean and spacious and was serviced daily. The staff is friendly. I arrived early on a Sunday and had emailed ahead asking if it was possible to get the room before official check in time. I never got a response but the room was ready when I got there around 10am. There are a few breakfast options […] close by if you don't want to pay 15eur extra for breakfast. However, be aware that there is no safe in the rooms. What annoyed me was that the Internet did not work in my room (5th floor). I had specifically chosen this hotel over others in this cost bracket due to the free wifi, but that really only works when sitting in the lobby, which was extremely inconvenient. Läs mer

Very clean and comfortable hotel. Maybe a little dated but really counts in my mind is being clean and it was. Also great location. Just one block to M ( subway station) 2 blocks from RR Station. Felt safe in area. Would go back again. Just keep in mind your in Europe the hotel rooms and baths are much smaller that what you may be use to in the US

Centrally Located in Brussels Nord with easy access to other towns in Belgium. Walking distance to the train station and many restaurants. 10 minutes from the square and main tourist destinations. Staff was very helpful in printing receipts and confirmations. Maid service was standard.

Unpretentious. Clean and functional. No easy access to a power point; one had to move some furniture to access a power point.

Great location, next to the city center, great for shopping, for visiting, everything you desire. Great breakfast, clean room, they even have an ironing room, great staff, very helpful. Definitely go back with pleasure. Strongly recommend it.

Staff were very helpful, room was clean and comfortable. Location: very near a major tram/metro stop (Rogier), and city centre (Grand Place) was about 10-15 minutes easy walk. Useful shopping mall (City2) very near.

Stay was OK, but I didn't get a breakfast voucher when checking in (despite having booked breakfast) so had to chase round for one in the morning. Hotel was pretty cold, but otherwise fine - pretty expensive though for what it is.

Verifierad gästrecension från Expedia

The hotel is located in the close proximity of some of EU buildings, just opposite the street from Crown Plaza hotel and Coven Garden building. It does not live up to the name: it's a dusted place in a dirty and dusted corner of Rogier square. But I could say the same about Crown Plaza hotel. The area looks more like the down-town of an american city. […] Good points: very close to the north station and to many touristic points of Brussels. The staff is pretty helpful. All in all, if you need a bed and a good location this is the place. Läs mer

It was fine because of location and price. A room in which I stayed was too tiny. Bathroom could have been refurbished. Hotel staff was very plesant. Wifi in the hotel also works very well.

Verifierad gästrecension

The hotel has much potential but is generally a bit run down-particularly the hallways and the lift. The staff is helpful but just about and for the price one pays it is not a particularly memorable or pleasant experience.

Very beautiful place to stay, but not close to much and hotel was expensive if you ate at the restaurant.

Quite a plain looking hotel at first sight, rooms even plainer. Looks better in the pictures than in real life. Very thin walls and cold rooms. Bed quite comfy but the sheets had holes in them.

the hotel team was friendly and service oriented. But the standard over all is bad. Rooms not in a good condition, bathroom not in a good condition and not really clean, shower such small that you can not really use it, the toiletflusher runs the hole night, minibar was empty and not connected ................ Breakfirst, no comment. I've never seen […] such a minimal breakfirst and the bread was horrible. I am traveller, and I got better standards, cleaner rooms, and better breakfirst in much cheaper hotels. There where not many guests in the hotel, no wonder. Läs mer

The window was plastered with bird dropping! Not a pretty sight . The fridge in the room was unplugged. In case you are looking for that essential iron or trouser press to use in you room, you have come to the wrong place

Five minute walk from the hotel are the Rogier subway station and Brussels Noord rail station. City center is within a mile distance and across the road you have one of the largest malls in Brussels - the City 2 Mall. Concerning the hotel itself - the service ar the reception is outstanding. Breakfast is good. The only dissapointing thing is that our […] towels were not changed to fresh ones as frequently as they should be. Läs mer

The best feature of this hotel is its excellent location. It is 3 minutes walk to the Gare Du Nord Rail Station, also 10 minutes to the Grand Place besides being situated close to the main shopping street. It is an old hotel, but serves an adequate breakfast. The staff are helpful. I stayed with my daughter who was in Brussels to do some work at Covent […] Garden and the hotel proved to be right for our different needs. Läs mer

The hotel is a bit tired but the staff were very pleasant and helpful. On the first night I was allocated a room that had three beds (one of which blocked the only cupboard where you could hang clothes) and displayed no information about emergency exits/fire procedures. The switch between water to the bath and shower was also stuck. However, when I […] mentioned this to the duty manager the next morning he came to look at the problems immediately, apologised and moved me to another better room straight away. The breakfast was perfectly adequate for something that is included within the price. The only UK channel you could get on the TV was BBC 1 but this was not a problem as I was out and about a lot. This hotel is fine for business travellers who just want a clean bed and a simple breakfast but will eat out during the day and evening. I would stay there again when travelling on business. Läs mer

This is a small quiet hotel in the heart of the busiest area in Brussels, Place Rogier. It is only two minutes away from Rue Neuf and the Metro stop is round the corner. The amneties are pretty basic but for business travel it is excellent. There is no mini-bar in the room and no coffee making facilities. Breakfast is very basic but staff are very helpful […] and friendly. Läs mer

In a city dominated by high-rise soulless glass hotels, the Des Colonies was delightful. It has tradition combined with modern amenities and was value for money. Clean, comfortable and nice staff. The buffet breakfast was great. There are smoking and non-smoking rooms, windows that open and it is easy to find from the Nord station. I highly recommend […] this place. A word of caution. When arriving at night on any public transport do NOT leave by side exits or you run the risk of being robbed by gangs of Moroccans or even worse. I was lucky to be in the company of big Liverpool lads which made them back off. Läs mer

I stay here quite often. This is a good hotel for the price in a very central location. The rooms are Ok, the breakfast is good and there are internet facilities in the rather majestic entrance lobby. Just a word of caution: there are no hairdryers in the room, one has to ask for one at reception. On the last two occasions I stayed at the end of the […] week and there were no hairdryers left for loan. Luckily I had time to rush over to Blocker in the shopping centre and get one. My advice is therefore if you definitely need a hairdryer go with your own. Läs mer

This 100+ year old hotel is tucked away in a narrow side street a long way from anywhere a tourist would want to go in Brussels. It may be close to Rogier Metro station but even this station was hard to find. We tried to follow the map on the underground tram but had to get on and off several times before asking several people and arriving at Rogier. […] No escalators so had to carry our heavy cases (close to the end of our trip) up the stairs. On asking a man in the street who had to phone a friend we arrived at the hotel with its paint chipped front door, and had to press a well-used security button to be let in - this doesn't give one a good sense of security. We found Reception in the gloom down a long dark corridor which was even more off-putting. We found the Reception staff friendly and helpful, and the included breakfast in the large old dining room next morning was acceptable and adequate. I chose this Hotel by reviews and details about the location when it said it was close to the station. However this was a suburban Metro station 6 stops away from Brussels Midi station, and not the main station as I had anticipated. As another Reviewer mentioned, I too agree that this hotel should not be included in Brussels hotels on this site. There must be others more central and more appealing to tourists. Personally I could not leave Brussels quickly enough..... Läs mer

I have stayed in Brussels many times but this was my first time in this hotel. I was very pleased with everything and would definitely stay again. This hotel is very central to the city centre and one of the main rail stations in the city. One small thing that I did not like was the colour of the serviettes in the diningroom, please change them to white […] or a lighter colour. Läs mer

Nearby the metro station "Rogier" the Hotel Colonies is a good place to stay in Brussels. The staff on the reception and during the breakfast are committed and friendly. The room was very clean and daily tidy (quiet rooms are situated to the samll inner courtyard). The bath was quiet a little bit narrow, the shower head should be replaced while it extruded […] to all sides. The room should have at least one free power socket - to get power you need to cancel the tv-access. In the lobby you'll find a computer with internet acces for free. You also can use your private PC (WLAN) in the lobby for free internet access. Using the internet access in the room on your private PC is not for free. On balance, it's a good hotel for a trip to Brussels. Läs mer

Having stayed at this hotel several times before I continue to be impressed by its location, the cleanliness of its rooms and the breakfast. Just one thing however the maid left my window wide open and when I returned there were bird droppings on the inside of the window sill. The hotel is housed in an old but rather majestic building and the only problem […] for me is that I have a (not obvious) disability which means that I have difficulty getting out of the bath and therefore need a walk-in shower. Unfortunately I am not sure that they have any at this hotel. Now that Rogier metro station has completed some of its renovation the plus for this hotel is that there is an entrance through the Manhattan passage just round the corner from the hotel. Great for me because I cannot carry suitcases up or down stairs and here there is an escalator (I used to walk to de Brouckere where there are lifts). One word of warning though one can never rely on escalators in Brussels, so if you have problems like me always have a plan B. I would be sorry not to be able to stay at this hotel anymore but since I had an accident this time when getting out of the bath which scared and bruised me, I can only stay where I am guaranteed a walk in shower. If this is not a problem for you this hotel represents value for money in a prime location - a great deal! Läs mer

This hotel comprises an old but rather majestic building which has retained most of its original features. The rooms are spacious as are some of the bathrooms, but old fashioned and simple. Unfortunately some of them smell of tobacco smoke. There is a good heating system in the winter and windows that open in the summer. A buffet breakfast is offered […] which is simple but of good quality. Tinned fruit and the usual cereals etc.. A good selection of breads and pastries, cheeses and cold meats, boiled eggs and toast. The coffee is drinkable which is unusual for the cheaper end of Brussels. The location is good if one wants to be near a good shopping Road (Rue Neuve) and the Grande Place. The other side is not so great being the start of the red light district which surrounds the North Station. There are plenty of restaurants nearby. The only extra is a daily city tax payment which one settles before leaving. Hairdryers are available from reception free but have to be asked for and guaranteed by a credit card. There are good metro connections and access although Rogier the nearest stop is difficult at the moment because of renovation and a resulting lack of escalator access and no lifts which is not good is one has a suitcase in tow. De Brouckere is a 10 minute walk away and has lifts to the metro platform. Läs mer

Very convenient to hop on/off the underground streetcar lines to get around the city. The local neigborhood does not have much to offer and the streets are underconstruction (Feb/2011). An old hotel that is comfortable and clean with an excellent breakfast. The breakfast is a combination of German style with various cold cuts of meat and hard boiled […] eggs along with French style pain au chocolate and crusty baggette. They also have a modern coffee machine for all styles of morning coffee. Läs mer

This hotel is horrible and should be removed from Hotels.com as an option , It is smelly , dirty, staff is rude and unhelpful. So bad , did not even check in , went to find another hotel nearby , which was much higher priced but was clean.
