Apparts Chez Odak

Apparts Chez Odak Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Apparts Chez Odak on Rue Korenbeek, you immediately get the sense this isn’t your typical hotel setup. It’s actually more like staying in someone’s well-appointed city apartment — which, honestly, is exactly what makes it work so well. The building has that understated Brussels charm, and you know what? Sometimes that’s exactly what you want when you’re trying to experience a city like a local rather than a tourist. This four-star property offers something refreshingly different from conventional accommodations.

The Molenbeek Advantage

Here’s something most visitors don’t realize about Brussels — Molenbeek-Saint-Jean is having quite a moment right now. I mean, it’s not the touristy center everyone flocks to, but that’s precisely why couples seem to love it here (they’re rating the location 9.0, which is pretty impressive). You’re close enough to reach the main attractions easily, but far enough out to feel like you’re actually living in the city. The neighborhood has this authentic, lived-in quality that you just can’t get near the Grand Place. It’s the perfect balance between accessibility and genuine local experience.

Your Space

The room setup here is what really sets this place apart from standard hotels. You get proper living space — not just a bed crammed next to a tiny desk. There’s a kitchen area that’s actually functional, which honestly saves you a fortune if you’re staying more than a couple nights. The details matter here: good linens, reliable wifi, and everything just works the way it should. Nothing fancy, but nothing disappointing either. Each space is thoughtfully designed for comfort and practicality.

Getting Around

One thing that surprised me was how much easier everything became once I realized they have parking right on site. If you’re driving into Brussels — and let’s be honest, sometimes that’s just the most practical option — you’ll appreciate not having to hunt for street parking or navigate those confusing underground garages downtown. The metro connections from this area are actually quite good, so you can easily hop over to the European Quarter or the historic center when you want to do the proper sightseeing thing. Transportation options here are genuinely convenient and well-connected.

Why Guests Love It

What keeps people coming back here is the combination of space, location, and that feeling of actually staying somewhere rather than just passing through. Recent guests have been rating the location 8.7, and I get why — you’re positioned perfectly to explore different sides of Brussels without being stuck in the tourist bubble. It’s the kind of place where you can grab groceries, cook breakfast, and then head out to explore, knowing you have a proper base to return to. For couples especially, there’s something appealing about having your own little Brussels pied-à-terre, even if it’s just for a few days. This restaurant-adjacent neighborhood also offers excellent dining options within walking distance.

Reviews of Apparts Chez Odak

• Lee from United States – 1 June 2025 (8/10)

  Oda was an exceptional host. She explained everything to us. It was very clean and everything ready for us. A special bonus for us was a festival in the streets while we were there.
  The metro was within walking distance as were several shops and places to eat

• Davit from Georgia – 28 January 2025 (8/10)

  სუფთა დიდი სახლია და კარგი ლოკაცია აქვს (რამდენიმე გაჩერებაა ცენტრამდე და ამასთანავე წყნარი და მშვიდი უბანია). სახლში არის ყველაფერი რაც შეიძლება დასჭირდეს ოჯახს. მასპინძელი არის კეთილგანწყობილი და მუდამ მზადაა დაგეხმაროთ. დააკვირდით ჩექინის დროს, რადგან მასპინძელი შორს ცხოვრობს და ჩექინის დროის ცვლილება საჭიროებს დამატებით ხარჯებს.
  აქვე ახლოს არის რამდენიმე დიდი მარკეტი. გაჩერება ახლოსაა.
  სახლში თავისუფლად დაეტევა 5-6 ადამიანიც.

• Roma from Ukraine – 26 November 2024 (8/10)

  Very good location, nice owner!

• Ming from Germany – 9 September 2024 (9/10)

  This house is clean and tidy with an interesting structure. The living room is on the first floor, while the bedrooms and bathrooms are on the second and third floors. The owner is very friendly, and we really like it. The place is close to a supermarket and not far from the bus stop.

• Frederic from Germany – 14 July 2024 (8/10)

  Very clean, great place.
  
  What could be improved: The second couples room was not super comfortable because the bed was two small for two people.

• Adam from Netherlands – 1 April 2024 (9/10)

  Property is spacious and lovingly decorated. It was exceptionally clean and excellent value for money. The host has taken into account what visitors need. The host, is very lovely and was very helpful in explaining the surroundings and the city. I slept great and it was a shame we only booked for one night because it would have been nice to hang around in the property and go into the village. I would definitely recommend it and will go there again next time I visit Brussels.
  
  What could be improved: Parking cost extra. It was for a reasonable price in a secure garage so I shouldn't complain but with everything else being perfect I needed to add something for balance.

• Daniel from United Kingdom – 27 December 2023 (8/10)

  Fantastic place – lots of space – good links to get into the centre of Brussels.

• Raquel from Spain – 1 December 2023 (8/10)

  The host really helpful and practical! , the size and the cleaning!
  
  What could be improved: Nothing

• Sopromadze from Georgia – 18 October 2023 (8/10)

  The location is good, the transport tram stop is a 5-minute walk away, from there you can take the metro and you will soon be in the center

• Daisuke from Japan – 25 September 2023 (9/10)

  The room was nice
  
  What could be improved: Climbing up and down the spiral staircase is difficult.
