Best Hotels in Groot-Bijgaarden, Belgium

Simple, but very clean business oriented hotel. Excellent location near the E40 and on the outskirts of Brussels if you are passing through Belgium, or on business and need to meet with colleagues without having the hassle to go into the center of town and face horrible traffic. Also located 5km from the UZ Brussels hospital, convenient if you travel from abroad for appointments at this hospital. Hotel has convenient vending machines. Beds & pillows were comfortable. Lots of parking spaces, free, parking locked at night. The hotel has a restaurant, but was closed when I was there. There is an excellent restaurant a 5 min walk away at the Brussels Kart center, and a 15-20 min walk into the center of Groot Bijgaarden for cafes, brasseries, restaurants. It is appropriate for business travel and ”passing through” travel, not for tourism of Brussels. Good value.

The airport is about 20 mins from the hotel and cost about EUR46. As we arrived early morning into Brussels, we were able to leave our luggage at the hotel and go for a wonder into the city. The hotel also due to availability allowed earlier check in later in the day which was ideal. The location of the hotel was perfect as we were within 10 mins walking location of all the major tourist sights including Grand Place, Mannekin Pis, Choco Museum as well as some historical stunning Churches, some of which were literally on the other side of the hotel. The hotel is surrounded by many different restaurants and cafes - of all budgets including so many halal options which was a total surprise. There are also supermarkets within walking distance for water/snacks etc. Room was cleaned everyday and all staff were always friendly and attentive. Facilities in the room include tea/coffee making and one bottle of water as well as the standard things. Breakfast - excellent variety, plentiful, fresh and delicious and all staff were very friendly and cheerful especially towards children which was great to see. Worth paying extra to include breakfast. Swimming Pool - small but was ideal and my son enjoyed this, shallow water which is perfect for children. There is also some gaming/fun for children in the lounge. Again due to late evening flight, we were able to leave our luggage and do last minute shopping and a visit to the Choco Museum. We really enjoyed our stay here and would definitely stay here again if we visit Brussels and would highly recommend to anyone visiting the city.

I stayed in Brussels for business and the hotel was located 8 minutes walking distance form my venue. the single room I stayed at was a very tiny one where I could hardly place my travel suitcase. Breakfast was basic, however the coffee was fresh and delicious. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Actually, it's a hotel with basic services in place, for me as I only slept in the hotel, that was fine, but I would find it not comfortable if I had to stay longer hours, due to limited room space.

Me and my friend chose this hotel for its handy location. Unfortunately sexist and aggressive staff ruined any hope of a pleasant stay. I was forced to leave the premises after breaking no rules when I returned home one evening where I was shouted at and talked down to. The following night the same receptionist opened the door into my female friends room at 2AM to evict her in the middle of the night for being “disrespectful” and threatening to call the police. When we expressed our concerns to management via email, we were told the events we described never occurred (even though a majority of crude gestures and aggression from the receptionist in question were on CCTV in the lobby) and threatened us with legal action for “defamation and slander”. The treatment of me and my friend was completely uncalled for and is an absolute embarrassment not only from an obnoxious and aggressive receptionist, but incompetent management who refused to explore the issue further and accused us of fabricating lies. Furthermore, the grimy floor of the shower, uncomfortable beds and paper thin walls didn’t make up for the lack of customer service.

We stayed on a Saturday to Monday in June, reception staff let us check in just after 11:30am which was really nice. The room was great and spacious, bed very comfy and large, air con worked perfectly for a hot weekend, the shower was amazing and good power, also the lovely L’Occitane products!! The hotel is modern and clean, good breakfast, lovely lounging bar area outside - although expensive, the espresso martini was a good one and I enjoyed the club sandwich. A couple of times our vodka was forgotten & we were just given soft drinks but they sorted it at the bar, a shame that the cheaper vodka brands were all gone though.. Louise is a good area and also not a far walk to the main grand place central area too. Our favourite restaurant nearby was colonel steakhouse, there are also lots of shops and bars. I wish we stayed more than 2 nights. If we return to Brussels we would definitely stay here again thank you!

The location is very good, right next to the grand place. However, the rooms are old and need to be updated. The sink in the bathroom and the woodwork had cracks. The corridors were dark and dingy. The lamps or coffee machine have to be disconnected to be able to charge one’s devices. There are no adapters or usb ports. The day we arrived, the bell boy was on holiday, so there was no one to help with the bags. The front office staff, other than the most junior of them, seemed totally disinterested. The room was hot in the night and the aircon panel did not work. When we told the front office staff that the air conditioning didn’t work adequately, they didn’t even acknowledge what we were saying, let alone offer any explanation or apology. The breakfast was fine, but the staff again showed very little interest in even asking if we wanted a cooked breakfast. Wouldn’t recommend.

Stayed here two nights in mid-January 2023. Hotel is located in a gritty area, with much construction, but just a five minute walk to the main train station, with many transit connections. It's about a 10 - 20 minute walk to various tourist sites in the city. There are convenience stores and dining options nearby. Staff was OK but not overly friendly. Single room was small, but clean and the price was fair. There was a heating/AC unit on the wall but one button was missing and it didn't appear to be working. Temp was OK. There was a small desk and chair. Shower and sink were in the room and toilet in a small closet. The window opened into a narrow ventilation shaft so it was rather dark. Wifi, lights and TV worked fine. I didn't pay for the breakfast. It wasn't great, but it did the trick.

The hotel is very clean and comfortable, the staff is very helpful, We would like to thank especially Mr. Güray and Ms. Nawel for their help. We would definitely like to visit again, we recommend this hotel

Nice I recommend

We booked several rooms for a group and in general the hotel and the rooms looked amazing but sadly that was just the looks. The beds are way too soft, the lights are not working properly: you cannot turn on the lights in the bathroom if the lights in the room are not on. Plus the lights turn on and off whenever they like and without any reason. Sometimes you cannot just turn them on. The water is also like this: you either shower with boiling water or ice cold water, there is nothing in between. I would definitely not recommend this hotel and probably the three stars are like two…
