Friend House

Friend House Overview

You know what, the first time I stumbled upon Friend House in Brussels, I wasn’t expecting much, but I was pleasantly surprised. Tucked away on Avenue du Frêne in the quiet neighborhood of Laeken, this 3-star hotel has a certain charm to it that you don’t often find in the heart of the city. Honestly, the rating of 7.3 really doesn’t do it justice.

The moment you step inside, you’re greeted by a warm and friendly staff who make you feel right at home. The lobby is cozy, with a fireplace that’s perfect for those chilly Brussels evenings. The rooms are simple but clean, and they’ve got those little touches that make a difference – like soft towels and a decent coffee maker. The location is actually quite convenient, just a short walk from the bustling Chaussée de Wavre, where you can find a bunch of local cafes and shops that the locals love.

One thing that stands out about Friend House is how quiet it is, despite being in the city. There’s no loud traffic noise, and the neighborhood is pretty peaceful, which is a nice change from the hustle and bustle of downtown Brussels. The check-in process was a breeze, and the staff were more than happy to give recommendations for nearby attractions and restaurants.

So, why should you care about Friend House? Well, if you’re looking for a budget-friendly stay in Brussels that doesn’t skimp on comfort or hospitality, this is your place. It’s not flashy, but it’s got a homey feel that you’ll appreciate after a long day of sightseeing. Plus, it’s just a stone’s throw from the beautiful Laeken Park, where you can enjoy a leisurely stroll or a picnic on a sunny day. Give it a shot; you might just find yourself feeling like a local in no time.

Many travelers prefer to book apartments in Brussels through local agencies that offer personalized recommendations and insider knowledge about the best neighborhoods for exploring the city’s rich cultural heritage.

  Comfortable bed, quiet, friendly and forthcoming host
  
  What could be improved: Shared toilet and shower, while booking.com ad seemed to show an apartment. House and room clean but worn. Material standard was booking.com one-star at best while booking.com ad and photos suggested 2- to 3-star. Heavily overpriced even for Brussels.
