CozyRoom 5 Min from Gare du Midi Overview

First Impressions

CozyRoom 5 Min from Gare du Midi is one of those places that does exactly what it says on the tin — and honestly, that’s refreshing. It’s a no-fuss, three-star spot in Anderlecht that gets the basics right without trying to be something it’s not. The name is literal, the vibe is relaxed, and you get the sense pretty quickly that this place was set up by people who actually thought about what travelers need.

Location & Neighborhood

The address on Rue des Deux Gares puts you in a genuinely useful part of Brussels. Gare du Midi — which is, well, one of the most connected train stations in Europe — is just a short walk away, meaning you can be in Paris, London, or Amsterdam in a matter of hours without any early-morning taxi stress. Anderlecht itself is a real, lived-in Brussels neighborhood, not a tourist bubble, so you’ll find local cafés and bakeries rather than overpriced tourist traps. It’s the kind of area where you actually feel like you’re in the city rather than just passing through it.

The Room

Rooms here are compact but thoughtfully arranged — you’re not going to be throwing a dinner party, but you won’t feel cramped either. Everything feels clean and well-maintained, which matters more than people admit when you’re tired from a long travel day. The setup works especially well for couples, and recent guests have consistently rated it highly for a trip for two. I mean, there’s something to be said for a room that just feels comfortable without demanding your attention.

Getting Around

With Gare du Midi practically on your doorstep, getting around Brussels — or leaving it entirely — is genuinely easy. The metro and tram connections from the area mean the Grand Place, Atomium, and the EU Quarter are all within reach without needing a car or a complicated bus route. Honestly, for a city break where you want to actually see things rather than spend half the day commuting, the location here does a lot of the heavy lifting. Recent guests have rated it highly for exactly this reason, and it’s hard to argue with that.

Why Guests Love It

CozyRoom 5 Min from Gare du Midi has a rating of 7.9, which for a three-star property in a major European capital is a solid, honest score — the kind that comes from guests who got what they expected and maybe a little more. Couples in particular seem to click with this place, probably because it strips away the unnecessary stuff and just delivers a comfortable base for exploring the city together. It’s not trying to impress you with grand gestures. What it offers instead is reliability, a genuinely well-placed address, and the kind of straightforward comfort that makes a trip feel easy rather than effortful — and sometimes, that’s exactly what you need.

Reviews of CozyRoom 5 Min from Gare du Midi

• Francesco from Italy – 3 June 2025 (4/10)

  What could be improved: Then once we entered the room we found a Q-tip in the shower so we asked to clean but we were told that no one could come and do it and that we could leave if we wanted to.
  
  They also only provide one towel per persone. wi fi is not available and the location is very bad.

• Arindam from India – 26 May 2025 (7/10)

  It was exactly what was advertised, barebones cheap stay near the midi/zuid station. Probably a tad bit more than a 5min walk. The place is clean, has a wonderful shared kitchen and sitting area. Some reviews mentioned the place being scary at night, honestly it rather depends on what scares you, just a few refugees or homeless people but nothing alarming. Till 21:30 it looked pretty safe. Caution, however, is always recommended.
  
  What could be improved: Be ready for stairs especially if you’re carrying heavy luggage. The room will probably be better with a table rather than the fridge. No eateries nearby, the ones shown on map are either closed or not suitable. Plenty to eat at the station though.

• Karen from Colombia – 25 May 2025 (9/10)

  Excelente alojamiento!!

• Vineet from India – 18 May 2025 (9/10)

• Anna from Italy – 22 April 2025 (8/10)

  La stanza molto accogliente
  
  What could be improved: Nulla da segnalare

• Martin from United Kingdom – 17 April 2025 (3/10)

  It's close to the train station. It's clean. It's quiet.
  
  What could be improved: We wondered why they call it cosy. The room was just functional, not cosy at all.
  The bathroom had 2 lights, but the bedroom light didn't work at all.
  We have never seen the host, and the communication via email was automated and confusing. For instance: they sent us a goodbye email before we even arrived.
  The kitchen has a kettle, but no coffee machine (I wondered why they have coffee there).

• Mario from Chile – 8 April 2025 (8/10)

  Muy cerca de la estación midi y a 20 a pies de la gran plaza, habitación cómoda e instalaciones limpias.

• Johnenide from Colombia – 30 March 2025 (7/10)

  Esta a 10 minutos caminando de la estacion del Tren de Bruselas Zuid Midi
  
  What could be improved: Me dieron la clave de una caja para sacar las llaves y la clave No funciono, me toco quedarme afuera con ese frio, mientras me solucionaban.
  Despues cuando subi, la habitación que separe estaba ocupada, me toco esperar que los otros huéspedes desocuparan, pero ya habian utilizado la habitación, es decir, nos toco habitacion sucia, porque si me iba para la otra habitación que estaba limpia no tenia baño propio, y 3das habitaciones eran mas favorables y yo pague por una habitación mas costosa para que tuviera baño propio.
  La habitación tenia el bombillo malo.
  La subida es un tercer piso por escalas y No tiene luces es totalmente oscuro

• Didier from France – 19 March 2025 (7/10)

  Je ne savais pas qu'il y avait une cuisine équipée
  
  What could be improved: Un table et une chaise dans la chambre ce serait bien

• Amal from Ireland – 13 March 2025 (9/10)

  Very clean, and warm. We can cook in the kitchen as well. Staff is lovely.
  
  What could be improved: The location is quite dodgy especially a bit scary at night
