This hotel is in a good location. 5 minute walk from the Central train station. Although it is all uphill and upsatirs. 10 minute walk to the Grand Place. Seemed to be in a nice area. The metro station was literally outside the front door. The hotel itself is not the best. The lobby area was nice but the room was pretty shabby. The lighting in the bathroom was very poor and the shower was pretty gross. The room was a decent size and since we had 4 people they had brought in 2 roll away beds before we checked in. The lift was was only big enough to fit 3 people. 2 if you had luggage. It was not operating properly when we were there so several times we had to walk to the 6th floor. There are 164 stairs. We counted several times, it wouldn't have been bad except we had been out walking all day and it is quite a hike up the stairs. They do have a very nice breakfast that is included with the room. It is served from 7-10 and we had bacon, eggs, cereal, croissants, toast coffee, orange juice, milk, etc. The staff was pretty helpful and did call us a cab when we needed to leave. Probably would not stay here again just because it was quite shabby. Thay did have renovations going on while we were there so maybe it will be looking up soon. It was by no means awful just not so great either.

I posted a negative review for this hotel already. In fact it was so resoundingly negative it wasn't posted by the website. So this time I've decided to to keep it short and sweet. Avoid this hotel at all costs (including monetary). Simply pay the extra to stay somewhere else. Our stay at this hotel was uncomfortable from beginning to end. I'm all for saving money on a hotel when you're on holidays as all you' re looking for is some basic degree of comfort and hygiene. This hotel failed spectacularly to provide either of the above. The high point of our short break in Brussels was checking out of this horrible hotel. DO NOT STAY HERE.

This hotel is in a good location, right next to the Porte Namur metro station and easy walking distance to the shopping and tourist attractions. It looks very nice from the street and the reception area is pleasant and tasteful. The reception staff and the catering staff were also very pleasant and helpful and spoke perfect English. Those are the good points. The interior of the hotel itself is grim. I arrived at about 6pm on Saturday and was given a room on the first floor. It was tiny and grubby, with a horrible polystyrene tiled ceiling. There were holes in the ceiling tiles, the toilet was filthy and the shower did not work, nor did the television or the desk lamp. The window looked out on to the bottom of a narrow shaft filled with air conditioning units and scattered with litter and cigarette butts. There was also an unpleasant smell. I rang reception immediately to complain and the receptionist seemed totally unsurprised and said that there were no spare rooms that night but they would move me to a different room the next day. I got the impression that he was accustomed to this sort of complaint. The next day I was moved to a room on the 6th floor. The room itself was not much better, although everything worked and there was no bad smell, but I had a french window and a balcony so I was able to open the curtains and let some air in. As others have said, the hotel is way overheated and the first night was suffocatingly hot. The breakfast on the first day was quite good, well cooked bacon and scrambled eggs, hot coffee and plenty of bread, juice, pastries etc. The second day was not so good, rubbery egg, semi cooked bacon and cold coffee, plus the pastries had run out. So that seems hit and miss. I should also mention that the bar does not open at the weekend, and room service does not really exist, there is a vending machine in reception that is mostly empty and that is it. I would not stay here again. For the price I could have got a bog standard travel lodge type room, and I would rather that and know that everything would be clean and decent than a run down hotel like this. It is a shame, as the staff were great and so is the location. It needs a total refurb.

Very nice hotel! Contemporary in style! Couldn't believe the value for the price. The staff was more than accomodating. We traveled with two small children and the room they gave us had two additional single beds at no extra fee. The hotel is right across from the Metro and there are plenty of places to eat and lots of high end shopping close by. Can get to the Lower Town about 10-15 minute walk. Definitely very conveniently located! Would definitely recommend and stay at this hotel again. Can't comment on the breakfast since we didn't eat at the hotel.

We just returned from a week in Brussels and really enjoyed our stay at Chamboard. The hotel is conveniently located right next to the underground and within walking distance from the European Parliament and shopping ameneties. On check-in I was pleasently surprised to find that breakfast was complementary! We had business room with separate beds for the kids. The room itself was very neat, clean and spacious. The breakfast next day was stumptous. I would definately recommend Chamboard.
