Elegant 2pcs Proche Bruxelles

Elegant 2pcs Proche Bruxelles Overview

First Impressions

When I first pulled up to Elegant 2pcs Proche Bruxelles, I’ll be honest — the name had me curious about what exactly I was walking into. This four-star property sits quietly on Rue des Pêcheries in Ouderghem, and you know what struck me immediately? It’s got that residential feel that makes you forget you’re technically staying in Brussels. The building blends right into the neighborhood, which I actually loved — no flashy hotel signage screaming “tourist” at every passerby.

The Neighborhood Advantage

Here’s something most visitors don’t realize about Ouderghem — you’re getting the best of both worlds. I mean, you’re close enough to central Brussels that a quick tram ride gets you to all the major sights, but far enough out that you can actually breathe and walk around like a local. The couples who stay here seem to get this (they rate the location nearly 9 out of 10), and honestly, I can see why. There’s a lovely park nearby where I saw people jogging in the morning, and the whole area has this calm, almost suburban vibe that’s pretty rare when you’re staying in a capital city.

The Space Itself

The apartment setup is what really sets this place apart from your typical hotel experience. You get a proper living space with a kitchen that’s actually functional — not one of those tiny hotel kitchenettes where you can barely make coffee. I spent a morning making breakfast there, and it felt surprisingly natural. The room layout is thoughtful too, with enough space that you’re not tripping over your luggage every time you turn around. The furnishings lean modern without being sterile, if that makes sense.

Practical Perks

What I appreciated most were the little things that show someone actually thought about how people travel. There’s decent parking available, which — trust me — is not something you take for granted in Brussels. The whole setup feels like staying in a well-appointed local flat rather than a cookie-cutter hotel room. You’ve got space to spread out, cook a meal if you want to save some euros, and just… exist comfortably for more than a night or two.

Why Guests Love It

The location rating of 9.0 from recent guests isn’t just a fluke — this spot really works for people who want to experience Brussels without being right in the thick of the tourist chaos. You’re close enough to hop into the city center when you want that urban energy, but you come home to a quiet street where you can actually get a good night’s sleep. For couples especially, there’s something appealing about having your own little Brussels base camp rather than just another hotel room. It’s the kind of place where you might find yourself staying in for a lazy morning, making coffee in your own temporary kitchen, and planning your day without feeling rushed to check out and move on.

• Stay away, property requested a deposit and didn't return it in full. – João from Netherlands – 8 April 2025 (1/10)

  The neighbourhood is calm, the property is close to the metro. There is car parking nearby, although be careful because it is very unclear what the parking policies are. The apartment was well equipped and had a nice view.
  
  What could be improved: The apartment charges a 500 EUR deposit that must be sent through bank transfer. This payment is not processed by booking.com but by an external party. This is completely unclear on the booking.com app when making a reservation. I only learned about this because the property informed me right after I completed my reservation. I immediately told them I am very uncomfortable with this but the property refused to waive the cancellation fees. Booking.com sided with the property and was of no real help here. To check-in you must fill in a form that asks for an excessive detail of information and even copies of the IDs of all guests. This seems to me completely unreasonable, especially taking into account GDPR. Finally, after a week, I got back 485 EUR of my deposit. The property claims that they kept 15 EUR for a "city tax" which I was not informed about at any moment of the reservation. The property refused to provide proof that this fee was announced to me before hand. Booking.com was not helpful at all and did not solve the situation. Stay away, save yourself some peace of mind, and go somewhere else. And be aware of other properties also charging a deposit. I will never fall into this trap again.

  Excellent emplacement et superbe logement full équipé

• Nice apartment, but beware of the deposit! – Tomas from Slovakia – 12 March 2025 (3/10)

  What could be improved: The apartment itself was exactly as advertised—clean, comfortable, and in a good location. However, the deposit process was extremely frustrating and took nearly a month to be refunded, requiring multiple follow-ups with both the host and their payment provider. If you're considering staying here, be aware that the deposit is not handled through Booking directly and could take much longer than expected to be returned. While the stay was good, the difficulty in getting my money back significantly impacted my overall experience.

  Super!

  Nous avons adoré notre séjour ! Le logement était propre, cosy et très bien situé. Tout était parfaitement organisé, et l’hôte a été d’une grande gentillesse et disponibilité. Nous nous sommes sentis comme chez nous. Expérience à renouveler sans hésitation !

• Exceptional – Ana from Germany – 9 January 2025 (10/10)

  The room was spacious clean and comfortable. The location was great for buses and metro, plus the parking lot is available.
  The kitchen is fully stocked with utensils and the living room is beautifully decorated.
  There's a deposit needed, but it's super worth it.
  
  What could be improved: Only downside is that windy days can knock the chairs on the balcony, and the walls are thin so sometimes you can hear the neighbors.
