Hotel Catalonia Brussels

The local area is great with a fantastic bar on the corner of the street for local vibe. There is street parking overnight for free after 6 pm which was very convenient. Parking at the hotel was virtually non-existent , 5 teeny tiny parking spaces with a difficult to park garage. Negatives: Booked double beds got two single beds joined together, room is very small but with a very functional washroom - very large compared to room In the hallway and elevator since the shared or common areas are not air-conditioned there is a constant smell of what seemed to be sewage, once your in the air conditioned room it disappears .No idea what the foul smell was due to? Old pipes, hot weather. The area is very nice , safe and well to do with lots of parking and hotel room was fine except for that sewage smell. Staff needs to learn English or French , all they seem to understand is Spanish, which makes it hard to communicate. We came off a long international flight and they did not care to help us get an early check in. Only one of the three of us got a check-in at noon the rest had to wait til 2 pm. Service was less than average in my opinion.

Regularly use this hotel, so that says it all. Only drawback is; weekends in wintertime evening meals in restaurant off! So porter services then only. Lovely staff.

Great location for my stay for business. Was pleasantly surprised by the hotel quality... Got a very good rate and wasn't expecting much for it but everything was smooth and had a room with everything I needed including desk and enough space. Room hadn't been cleaned perfectly but you can't have it all! Would stay here again, thanks!

We stayed one night at the Catalonia. It was very easy to get to with the tram from the train station, and just a short walk to the hotel. Very nice lobby, reception was very friendly and checked us in quickly. Room was nice,clean. Breakfast was served very nicely, plenty to choose from. Location is in a nice residential area, very wuiet. Will definitely stay there again.

A very decent hotel with helpful friendly staff. Located in a quieter part of Brussels, there are still local stores for all your needs. Transport seems decent although I didn't use it. Please consider adding in-room coffee/tea facilities,as it would have made the stay perfect!

amazing

In terms of value it was reasonable, but when i arrived i was give a room with 3 single beds rather than a double and after complaining they reluctantly changed it. The lifts broke and although i was on the 6 floor i only had a small bag so was ok. But its clean and reasonably placed and does not claim to be a 4/5 star hotel so i guess is fine

Had a good stay at this hotel - would recmmend

This is a good hotel where I have stayed a couple of times before. It's in the inner suburbs between St Gillis and Ixelles but with the tram to the centre nearby. The room was comfortably furnished and clean. On this occasion I felt that the room could have been a couple of degrees warmer. It's not just me, the previous occupant had left the temperature control on max, although it did not seem to make any difference. But it was OK because of the winter duvet on the bed. I also remembered that the hot water takes a long time to come through. It got there in the evening but in the morning I gave up waiting and had a lukewarm shave. Some reviews mentioned the lack of a kettle - the hotel has a range of rooms with extra facilities in the superior ones. There is a good range of food for breakfast although €14 is near the top of the price range. I like the hotel and would choose it again.

The hotel was lovely. In a good neighborhood. But, they did not have my reservation. They had to search through emails to find it.
