    The lighting in the room was very poor...I understand that might be eco related and environmentally better but very hard to focus well in the room...could also be my age as well!!

    Very quirky, very spacious and loved the terrace to sit out on... Lovely idea of providing an "honesty" bar for guests to help themselves to drinks.

    The guy behind the counter was really nasty. We booked a room with one double bed and two sofa beds. There was only one sofa bed. I told him I was very disappointed. It was 4 pm and the room wasn’t even prepared (no bed sheets on the sofa bed or in the room). I looked into the restaurant and some tables still had dirty dishes from breakfast or lunch. He told me he rather wanted to have happy guests so offered us some random hotel to stay over there and 17 euro’s in cash. Why would I trust his opinion on that hotel!

    It was clean.

    Location is beautiful, staff is welcoming and friendly, pets allowed (big PLUS), Big comfortable beds and air-conditioning unit in the room. We likes that the bar area is open at all times (should we wish to have a drink). Property was really clean and comfortable. Large rooms.

    Couldn't have a chance to test/taste a breakfast as it is too late, especially if you need to avoid the morning's road traffic. A small fridge would be appreciated. Driving out of the small cul de sac is down to someone's good heart, if you leave after 6:45.

    Quietest hotel I have been in Brussels. Not a single noise. Also it stands at the doorstep of the forest and windows open to it, so it is so good for a walk or run. Although I stayed during the cold season, the heating system is fast and impressive.

    For us this was a great location on the edge of the forest, with easy access to the ring road and Rhode St Genese. Used to be part of horse farm/stable, so lots of unique character and very comfortable rooms in former stalls. The owner explained ongoing improvements for even more comfort. Free parking available on site. We took a daily walk on trails in the forest, which was lovely.

    They booked my room to someone else!!!! Then booked me into an inferior hotel.

    I arrived to be told they had no room for me and booked me in at an alternative hotel despite haveing a confirmed booking via booking.com. As a lone traveller I had specifically booked this location because it looked friendly and safe in a lovely location. They booked me into hotel Groenendaal 5 minutes away. The alternative room was pleasant but the location was awful next to the railway station and a building site. No where other than my room to sit (no terrace as would have had at original hotel). No breakfast so i had to drive back to the original hotel. All very stressful and could have easily been avoided with an email or message to me.

    No grocery stores in the area - do you groceries in the city/before arriving.

    Being in a middle of the forest/park only 20 min from Brussels center. perfect for relaxing after full day of work in the city offices. Staying outside of the city for work was an experiment - and a successful one thanks to the location, welcome and breakfast facilities at the B&B.
