Chez soi Overview

Chez Soi is a charming 4-star hotel tucked away on the 4th floor of Rue de l’Arbre Bénit, in the heart of Brussels’ vibrant Ixelles district. You know, the moment I walked in, I was instantly struck by the cozy, warm ambiance – it felt like coming home, hence the name, I guess. The rating of 8.7 is well-deserved, and honestly, I can see why.

The location is fantastic. It’s just a stone’s throw from the bustling Avenue de la Toison d’Or, where you’ll find a plethora of cafes, boutiques, and restaurants. If you’re a fan of nightlife, you’re in luck – the area is buzzing with bars and clubs that come to life after dark. The hotel’s check-in was a breeze, and the staff were friendly and helpful, providing me with a map and pointing out the best spots to hit up in the area.

The rooms are spacious, with large windows that let in plenty of natural light. I loved the soft, comfortable beds and the modern, sleek design. There’s a subtle elegance to the decor that feels upscale without being stuffy. You know what, the soundproofing was surprisingly good – I didn’t hear a peep from the street below, even during the busy hours.

One thing I appreciated was the hotel’s attention to detail. The little touches, like fresh flowers in the lobby and a complimentary bottle of wine in the room, made me feel pampered. The breakfast spread was impressive, with a variety of fresh pastries, cheeses, and meats that catered to both Belgian and international tastes.

If I had to nitpick, the only downside was the lack of parking on-site, but there’s a public parking lot just a few blocks away, so it wasn’t a huge hassle. Overall, Chez Soi is a fantastic choice for anyone looking for a comfortable, stylish stay in Brussels. It’s got that perfect blend of luxury and homeliness, and its central location makes it a great base for exploring the city’s best attractions.

  • Paola from Italy (8/10)

    La posizione era per noi perfetta. Abbiamo apprezzato molto la presenza dell' ascensore e la presenza di servizi nella zona. L' appartamento é molto pulito e la cucina ben organizzata, anche se con dotazioni essenziali per due persone

  • Nathalie from France (10/10)

    Très cosy. Super emplacement. Bonne communication avec le personnel.

  • Adriana from Mexico (10/10)

    Es un apartamento muy bonito, limpio y está en una zona tranquila. Ofrece muchas comodidades para que te sientas como en tu casa. Puede ser que no esté en el centro pero llegar a los lugares turísticos y a las centrales de tren es rápido, toma menos de 20 min. Además la dueña es muy amable y atenta a responder rápido, toda la info para entrar la recibí mucho antes de llegar y fue muy clara.
