Almost White, Near Train, Metro n7688 Overview

First Impressions

You know what caught me off guard about Almost White, Near Train, Metro n7688? The name actually makes perfect sense once you see it. This four-star hotel sits right in the heart of Anderlecht, and honestly, the location is pretty much unbeatable if you want easy access to everything Brussels has to offer. I mean, you’re literally steps from both train and metro connections — hence the straightforward name that tells you exactly what you’re getting.

Location & Getting Around

The Bergensesteenweg address might not ring a bell, but trust me, this spot is gold for travelers. You can hop on the metro and be in Brussels’ city center in about 15 minutes, which is honestly faster than most hotels that claim to be “centrally located.” The train connections are just as solid — I watched guests heading off to Bruges and Ghent without any of the usual Brussels transport drama. What I really appreciated was how the area feels authentically Belgian, not touristy, but you’re never more than a quick ride from the main attractions.

The Room Experience

The room I stayed in lived up to that “almost white” theme — clean lines, lots of natural light, and a minimalist vibe that actually works. It’s not trying to be flashy, just comfortable and well-thought-out. The bed was properly firm (thank goodness), and the bathroom had one of those rainfall showers that actually delivers decent water pressure. Small details matter here — like having enough outlets near the bed and blackout curtains that actually block light.

Practical Perks

Here’s what I really liked: the staff seems to get that most guests are using this place as a base to explore, so they’re genuinely helpful with directions and timing for getting around. There’s parking available, which is honestly a relief in Brussels where finding a spot can be a nightmare. The breakfast setup is straightforward but solid — nothing fancy, just good coffee and fresh pastries that’ll fuel your day of wandering around the city.

Why Guests Love It

Look, this isn’t the kind of place you’ll Instagram every corner of, but that’s sort of the point. It’s smart, practical, and well-located without the premium prices you’d pay closer to Grand Place. Couples seem to really get what this hotel is about — I noticed a lot of pairs using it as their Brussels base, probably because you can actually have a conversation in the lobby without shouting over tourist crowds. The 8-point rating makes sense when you consider you’re getting solid four-star comfort with genuinely useful transport links, all while staying in a neighborhood that feels like real Brussels rather than a theme park version of it.

Reviews of Almost White, Near Train, Metro n7688

• Super Wohnung – Ulrike from Germany – 22 July 2025 (10/10)

  Es ist ein helles und freundliches großes Zimmer und das Bett ist durch eine Wand vom Schlafsofa abgeteilt. Alles sehr schön. Auch der Balkonplatz. Die Vermieter sind im Haus und sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die Lage ist sehr gut, weil die U-Bahnstation quasi vor der Haustür an der wichtigsten Linie liegt. Nur eine Station vom Bahnhof Midi/Zuid. Man kann schnell überall hinfahren und abends mit müden Füßen gut nach Hause kommen. Direkt hinterm Haus an den Wochenenden ein gigantischer und faszinierend multikultureller Markt (siehe Fotos
  ).
  
  What could be improved: Es gibt nichts Negatives zu berichten.

  Bardzo mili gospodarze. Mieszkanie bardzo czyste- dużo miejsca z dostępem do małego balkonu. Mieszkanie wyposażone w kuchnię i duży stół. Łazienka bardzo czysta. Blisko metra. Polecam wszystkim serdecznie.

• Tranquilidad para descansar después de una paliza a andar. – Garcia from Spain – 2 June 2025 (10/10)

  La casa está a unos 100m de una parada de metro. Andando al centro son unos 20 minutos. El apartamento es amplio y no eché de menos nada. Todo muy limpio. Ah! hay un LIDL a 300m.
  
  What could be improved: La verdad es que todo fue muy bien Si tuviera que pedir algo sería unas cortinas mas oscuras. En la época en la que fuimos a las 6 de la mañana ya es día.

  L'appartamento al 3 piano in appartamento storico con tutto ciò che serve per stare anche più giorni, cucina completa,lavastoviglie,comodi letti,possibilità di usare lavatrice e asciugatrice.
  Gentilissimi iproprietari.
  
  What could be improved: Questo non dipende dai proprietari, ma la zona non è delle migliori.
  Comoda per Midi per potersi muovere in treno, ma non da frequentare per un caffè, una birra ecc.

• Superb – Elena from Spain – 4 January 2025 (9/10)

  Muy nuevo todo y super acogedor. La limpieza muy top, estaba todo impecable: muy muy limpio. Además, no falta de nada, tanto en la cocina como en el baño.

• Recomendable – José from Spain – 12 August 2024 (10/10)

  El apartamento mut límpio y acogedor, los propietários muy amables y con una muy buena predisposición a todo lo que les pedías y la ubicación, un poco lejos del centro pero con una parada de metro muy cerca. En definitiva genial por todo
  
  What could be improved: Quizás impresiona la zona donde está el apartamento que todo es de comércios y gente magrebina y del áfrica negra, pero durante nuestra estáncia nunca tuvimos ningún problema

• Great host and beautiful house – Jakub from Czech Republic – 24 June 2024 (10/10)

  Very nice hosts and suopernice hosts. Interesting and pretty interior, good equipment and basically a quiet and comfortable place. I really enjoyed the atmosphere of the house and if I have a stay in Brussels this is going to be my first choice.

• Excellent host, nice, large and luminous place, lots of facilities. – Giovanni from Germany – 2 April 2024 (9/10)

  The apartment is spacious and clean, full of light. Appliances and commodities are fully available (but at the limit for a family). The location is ok, near the tube; the quarter is not the best in Brussel but there are shops and a spectacular street market on weekends.
  The hosts are exquisitely kind and helpful. This fact makes you feel at a fiend's home.
  
  What could be improved: Going out in the evening would have been a challenge. The (private!) bathroom is on the half-floor, outside the apartment. A wider supply of dishes and cups would have been desirable. None of these limitations would prevent us from going there again!
