Reviews and Ratings
I was thrilled with my stay at this hotel. The rooms were so cutely decorated in a country theme, which made them not just practical but also exotic, warm, and cozy. The service was excellent, with the staff putting their heart and soul into ensuring each guest had all they needed, even arranging discounts on taxis and offering freshly baked breads and croissants. The location couldn't have been better, just beside all the restaurants at St Catherine and right off the St Katherine subway stop. The dining experience was delightful with affordable options and the facilities were top-notch.
My stay at this hotel was truly unique and delightful. The rooms, like the Congo room we stayed in, were exotic, warm, and cozy, perfect for a family with children like us. The atmosphere was so original, and the loft setup with beds upstairs was a hit with the kids. The option to choose with or without breakfast was convenient for our stay.
Staying at the hotel was a unique experience as it represented a country in a delightful way. The location on a busy square in the evening was lively but not noisy at night, the staff were charming, the hotel quirky and spotless, and it offered great value for money. Exploring around the hotel rather than always heading to the main city square was a pleasant discovery.
I had a blast staying at this hotel! The rooms were quirky and fun just as I expected, with unique decorations inspired by different countries. The loft setup worked perfectly for me and my two children, although I was sad we had to leave early for our Eurostar journey back home. The hotel's location on a lively square was great for evening vibes but surprisingly quiet at night. The staff was delightful, the hotel itself was both quirky and spotless, and the value for money was exceptional.
The hotel offers unique, stylishly decorated rooms that are clean, comfortable, and bonkers fun for kids. The service is welcoming, with charming staff members and omelets cooked to order. Its location is excellent, right in the city center near great cafes, bars, and the St Catherine metro stop. The dining experience is perfect, offering a variety of delicious items in moderate portions. Overall, a great value for money with top-notch facilities.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms, although the property labels itself as 'The smallest Hotel in Brussels,' were cozy and quite spacious. The decor was amazing, beautifully done, and I especially adored the lovely balconies off the bathroom and main room adorned with geraniums and a stone Buddha.
The hotel offers one of the most beautiful and unique room experiences I have ever had, though it was a bit small. The rooms are designed in the style of various countries, and the craftsmanship by a renowned designer is evident. The service was polite, very friendly, and exceptionally welcoming, with extra terraces by the Tibet room, adding to the charm.
The hotel's rooms are beautifully decorated with themes from different countries, but they tend to be on the smaller side. The service is incredibly helpful and welcoming, truly living up to the hotel's name. The location is convenient, within walking distance of many attractions, although slightly removed from the center. The dining experience exceeds expectations, especially with freshly cooked omelets to order. Overall, a decent value for the money with a pleasant atmosphere.
The hotel offers uniquely decorated rooms with turquoise as the dominant color, each named instead of numbered, inspired by the owners' travels. The service is outstanding, with friendly and efficient staff who prepare delightful homemade jams from local market fruits. The location is superb, right off St Katherine subway stop, ideal for exploring the city's central areas and enjoying the nearby shops and bars. The dining experience is a blend of a hotel and bed and breakfast, where special orders are cooked to perfection. The facilities are top-notch, making for a memorable stay.
I loved the China-themed room with its beautiful Tibetan motif decorations, though some may not fancy the skeleton key. The hotel's location near central Brussels is perfect for exploring the city on foot, with a plethora of dining options nearby. The service, especially the homemade jams and assistance with luggage, made me feel like a special guest.
I felt like I was transported to various countries with the themed rooms, but the service was a mix of friendly and a little terse. The location was great for exploring during the day and evenings, and the dining experience was delicious with lots of options.
Our stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The location was superb, just outside the Saint Catherine metro station, making it convenient to explore the city on foot. The service was friendly and helpful, with Jennifer going above and beyond to assist us with our luggage. However, the rooms had a strong urine odor, which was unpleasant, especially with our kids, and the lack of a safety deposit box was concerning.
My stay at this hotel was absolutely phenomenal! The rooms range from huge to cozy, but all are clean and comfortable. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, and the location is perfect - just 20 meters away from a Metro station with plenty of restaurants nearby.
The hotel is such a quirky and delightful place to stay. The rooms are both beautiful and interesting, making it exciting to discover where you'll be staying. While the room I had in 'Cuba' was a bit small, it was still nice overall. The service at this hotel is top-notch, with staff who are so accommodating, welcoming, and professional. The location is excellent, right off the St Katherine subway stop in Great Brussels. Dining options were great with a variety of items available, and the facilities were impressive.
The hotel in Africa was quirky and fun, just as expected. The rooms had gorgeous rain showers with artifacts, actual antique doors, lovely colorful curtains, and bedspreads. It was delightful to arrive and find out where I would be staying. However, it was unfortunate that we had to leave early to catch our Eurostar home.
