Floris Ustel Midi Hotel (from here on, 'Ustel'). A place that brings me very mixed feelings!
Decent stay, here are my Pros:
- Ustel is very close to Brussels Midi station (the station you get off EuroStar). A brief 10 minute walk and you will be there. Decently convenient which is great especially if you got off the train quite late.
- Breakfast is included in all packages, and
- Wifi is of course a standard.
- Price is decently reasonable
- The room I was given was gigantic (King Family room with King Bed)
- 24 Hr Check in available
- Sufficient Heating
However; here are a few brief Cons:
- The location is convenient; but at night, it felt dangerous, and very dark
- It is close to train station, however a good 20-30minute walk from Brussels tourist central area
- Breakfast cannot be more simple; there's some cereal and pastries; don't expect too much so you won't be disappointed
- The place is a little run down
- One of my nights, there were unstable hot water
- Only 2 English Channels on TV
- Not much around besides a few pubs
Will I come back to stay? Certainly!
