MEININGER Hotel Bruxelles City Center

My times in this hostel was perfect. I was in a room with 10 people and i didn't feel confortable but Kamel, Laura and Chiara were very nice and kind with me. They changed my room and then, everything was perfect thank you so much to them !

So far, this is the Meininger we've liked the least. It's a 9-minute walk from the metro station. The kitchen area is small, and the cleanliness was just okay.

The staff were very friendly and for a hostel, it was great: secure room, private bathroom... the bar is very nice

Amazing place and people

My husband and I stayed in a private room with our cat for 4 nights last week. The room was enormous! I loved the industrial feel of the building with super wide hallways and high ceilings in the room. The windows don't open, but we looked out onto a lovely vegetable garden. From reading other reviews, I saw a tip to ask for an extra pillow, which was definitely necessary as the pillows are very soft. The bed itself was pretty comfortable. There was a bit of noise from upstairs (teenagers playing/yelling and furniture being moved) and in the hall, but nothing excessive or long-lasting. To get there, we took the Line 82 tram from Gare du Midi. The train station area is pretty rough and seedy with a lot of unhoused people, but it was a very short, easy walk to the hotel once we hopped off at the Triangle stop. The immediate neighborhood has some construction happening a few buildings down and a poorer immigrant neighborhood on the other side. It didn't feel unsafe or weird to me, but I have lived in big cities and traveled a lot. Just on the other side of the bridge, you easily cross into the more touristy neighborhoods. You have to explicitly request cleaning service, which I considered a benefit rather than a bug with a pet in the room. We didn't try the hotel breakfast because there are tons of great coffee shops nearby. We went to Mok just across the canal and it was excellent! There is another called Koul which is on our side of the canal which also looked good.

This hitel made my stay so good, easier and perfect. The staff were sooo nice

I am disappointed that the first language they use is English. Brussels is a French-speaking city and this is unacceptable.
