B&B BE IN BRUSSELS

We enjoyed our stay in...

Liked: Very central, spacious and comfortable
Disliked: The air conditioning unit didn’t work effectively

Very good

Liked: Nice spacious room, comfy bed. Top location in the heart of Brussels. Lobby with decent options for a quick breakfast.
Disliked: Not very important for us, but TV was not working.

Pleasant

Lots of better options than...

Liked: Nothing at all, the room was smelly and burning hot with no arrangements for Air Conditioning despite our requests.
Disliked: It was not livable, looked shady from the outside and had no arrangements for Air Conditioning during a 33 degree weather.

Good

Liked: Convenient location, nicely furnished, comfortable bed, limited self service breakfast bar.
Disliked: Steep winding staircase, no lift, very difficult to carry bags upstairs. No air con or fan, very warm room and bedding. Guests should be advised about stairs and lack of lift prior to stay.

Would stay again but would...

Liked: As we had stayed the week previous the room was the same as the first time, clean, comfortable.
Disliked: This stay we were on the 3rd floor, at 60 with a heart problem I found it very difficult to get my suitcase to the 3rd floor with the narrow and steep stairs. Partly my problem as having stayed the week before I should have contacted the owners and asked for the 1st floor. I didn’t see a warning about the room access, if there is one but maybe something to say about the access.

Comfortable night after travelling all...

Liked: We like the quirkiness of the location and the rooms we’re comfortable and clean
Disliked: On this occasion we had the room on the 1st floor, was difficult to get our suitcase to the room as I am 60 with a heart problem but was manageable .

Beware

Liked: Room was spacious and bathroom facilities were good
Disliked: No face to face personnel available. Notification a few days prior to arrival that no breakfast was being served anymore. There was cereal, but no milk on our first morning and minimal cutlery/crockery. Had to message to get toilet paper! TV was not working. There were comments about stairs on the description but they are steep and not very wide. Very hard to get a 20kg suitcase up. Beware. Overall not a great experience.

A disappointing stay that unfortunately...

Liked: Location great for sights. Restaurant area close by. Noisy bar as well. Room large. Somewhere different from the chain hotels and somewhere you will remember.
Disliked: Business is for sale which probably explains some of the following.Never met owners, so as a guest difficult to leave as friends as there sign says. Breakfast disappointing. Told by app no longer doing breakfast as of beginning 2025 days before stay (booked 2024 - we would have cancelled if advised earlier) then a bare continental service provided. No toaster. After a day+ figured that the coffee machine would not work because it needed emptying. Recommendations on app by owners on places to eat unfortunately came through the day we were leaving.Beware the stairs are steep and narrow so do not book if you have large cases or do not want to manoeuvre them up.A disappointing stay as the business had/ has so much potential. Not recommended at this time and based on our stay.
