Appartement luxe 1

Appartement luxe 1 Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Appartement luxe 1 on Hoekstraat, you immediately get that “I’m staying somewhere special” feeling. This three-star apartment sits right in the heart of Brussels, and honestly, the location alone makes it worth considering. The building has that classic Belgian charm — you know, the kind where you feel like you’re living like a local rather than just passing through as another tourist.

The Perfect Brussels Base

Here’s what I love about this spot — couples absolutely rave about the location, giving it a 9.8 rating, and I can see why. You’re literally in the top-rated area of Brussels with a location score of 9.4, which means everything you want to see is within walking distance. The Grand Place is just a few minutes away, and you can easily stroll to all those incredible chocolate shops and beer cafes that make Brussels so special. I mean, when you can grab fresh waffles for breakfast and be at the Manneken Pis before most tourists even wake up, you know you’ve picked the right neighborhood.

Living Space That Works

The room setup is what really sets this place apart from your typical hotel stay. You get a proper living space with a kitchenette that’s actually functional — not one of those tiny hotel setups where you can barely make coffee. The apartment feels thoughtfully designed, with enough space to spread out your stuff and actually relax. It’s clean, well-maintained, and has that cozy European apartment vibe that makes you want to stay in with a bottle of Belgian beer and plan your next day’s adventures.

The Brussels Experience

What struck me most was how this place lets you experience Brussels like you actually live there. You can pop down to the local market, grab some cheese and bread, and have breakfast in your own space before heading out. The neighborhood has that authentic Brussels energy — locals going about their daily business, small cafes where you can practice your French or Dutch, and those narrow cobblestone streets that make every walk feel like a mini adventure. You’re close enough to the tourist spots but far enough away that you’re not constantly surrounded by tour groups.

Why Guests Love It

With an 8.6 rating, guests clearly appreciate what this place offers, and I think it comes down to the combination of location and that apartment-style independence. You get the best of both worlds — the services and cleanliness standards you expect from a hotel, but with the freedom and space of having your own place. For couples especially, there’s something romantic about having your own little Brussels hideaway where you can come back after a day of exploring, cook a simple dinner together, and just enjoy being in one of Europe’s most charming cities. It’s not trying to be flashy or over-the-top — it just delivers exactly what you need for a great Brussels stay.

Reviews of Appartement luxe 1

• John from United Kingdom – 16 May 2025 (9/10)

  Great location with space next to gym, Carrefour and tube. 5-10 minute walk to Brussels centre

• Cyrine from France – 1 May 2025 (5/10)

  L'appartement est neuf (et encore pas terminé)
  Il y a beaucoup d'équipements.
  
  What could be improved: Le propriétaire nous a acceullis pres de 30mn après l'heure du check-in (15h) alors que nous avions averti de notre heure d'arrivée et avions même patienté dehors car il n'avait pas été d'accord pour nous acceullir un peu avant. La rue est en chantier, l'immeuble lui-même n'est pas très engageant car encore pas fini.
  Il n'y a ni volets ni rideaux dans les appartements (juste des voilages), nous étions réveillés au lever du soleil.
  Les murs sont en carton, on entend tout ce qui se passe dans les couloirs et dans les autres étages. Les propriétaires ont été très bruyants jusqu'à près minuit : conversations à voix haute, enfant livré à lui-même et qui pleure dans les couloirs, etc…
  On voit bien que les propriétaires ont investi de l'argent mais rien n'est vraiment professionnel : on est mal accueilli (le fils du propriétaire a été désagréable et même malhonnête car il nous a promis d'installer des rideaux foncés avant 21h mais rien n'a été fait).
  Dans la chambre, le lit était installé de travers, les 2 tables de nuit dans un coin, la lampe de chevet pas branchée et la seule prise de la pièce derrière le lit massif.
  Nous étions 3 et pour le lit d'appoint nous avons reçu une couette sans housse de couette. Toutes les taies d'oreiller étaient plus petites que les oreillers, etc..
  Le dressing est grand mais on ne peut même pas suspendre un manteau ou une robe correctement tant il a été mal conçu.
  Il n'y avait pas de gel douche et lorsque je l'ai signalé, on nous a apporté des produits vieux et sales : une honte!
  Le "gérant", Un monsieur très gentil bien que n'ayant pas du tout les compétences du job, a essayé de répondre à nos attentes mais notre séjour a vraiment été gâché par cette succession de maladresses, mensonges, manque de sens de l'accueil….
  Acceullir du public est un métier, il ne suffit pas d'avoir de l'argent pour rénover des hébergements…

• Dmytro from Ukraine – 10 April 2025 (8/10)

• Kutoma from United Kingdom – 9 April 2025 (9/10)

• Egu from Uruguay – 27 March 2025 (9/10)

  Excelente estancia, cómdo, limpio, bien ubicado, muy amable Jarum nuestro hospedero.

• M from Belgium – 17 March 2025 (9/10)

  This appartment has great charm. Noord Station is a 10 minute walk away. Small supermarkets nearby.
  It was perfect for going on foot to Tour&Taxis.
  It provides everything (and more) you need for a short pleasant stay.

• Henrich from Slovakia – 1 March 2025 (9/10)

  The accommodation had an excellent location for my needs. Both local and intercity transport were nearby. The interior had new furnishings and equipment, and the large windows were a very pleasant surprise. Everything looked new. There are some stairs inside, but I actually liked them as well.
  
  What could be improved: My only complaint was the fluctuating water temperature in the shower. At times, it was cold for a Central European.
