Reviews of La Petite Fort Art Deco Apartment In Brussels
Myriem from France – 11 May 2025 (3/10)
La déco et l'emplacement en plein cœur de Bruxelles
What could be improved: Appartement situé au dessus d'un pub qui se transforme en boîte de nuit de 10h à presque 6h du matin, sans isolation. Un calvaire. On vient de rentrer crevés d'un séjour qui se voulait l'appartement est situé au deuxième étage , le premier escalier est correct mais le deuxième est impraticable pour des enfants en bas âge ou même moyen ou des personnes d'un certain âge. Aucun rideau occultant, impossible de rattraper les nuits d'absence de sommeil à cause du bruit dans la journée !!!
Bref. Nous n y retournerons pas, nous avons cherché un autre logement dès le lendemain de notre se jour de 3 nuits , mais tout était pris !! Vraiment déçusPierre from France – 14 April 2025 (8/10)
Appart super bien placé et deco au top, petit point négatif, la qualité des matelas et le manque de rideaux ou de volets aux fenêtres des chambres.
Ashley from United States – 28 March 2025 (8/10)
This property is one of our very favorites in all of our travels! The aesthetic was charming and fun. The location couldn’t have been better. A walk around the corner to everything you could possibly want to see. Our family enjoyed our stay very much.
What could be improved: No complaints!Jorge from Spain – 6 January 2025 (7/10)
Está muy bien ubicado con supermercados y restaurantes cerca y puntos de interés,estación de tren ,metro ,etc.. la casa es preciosa y muy bien decorada . Electrodomésticos de gama alta ,no le falta de nada.
What could be improved: La escalera es horrible .. peligrosa e incómoda.
Justo debajo del alojamiento tienes un bar/pub que abre todos los días hasta las 5/6 de la mañana… música alta ,ruido,policía,peleas todas las noches. Deberían tomar medidas el alojamiento con insonorización ,horarios de cierre,etc ya que es muy molesto y no te hace tener una estancia agradable.Nadine from France – 4 November 2024 (7/10)
La situation géographique est parfaite, en plein centre, animé et vivant.
L’appartement était propre à notre arrivée, les hôtes très disponible pour les demandes particulières (heures d’arrivée)
Les équipements sont de qualité et la déco très soignée.
What could be improved: Les escaliers sont difficiles à emprunter et le bruit de la rue ainsi que des bars est vraiment très présent.
Le bar du dessous se transforme en boîte de nuit et la musique ne cesse que vers 5h du matin. Les bouchons d’oreilles sont indispensables et heureusement fournis ! Nous avons malheureusement eu également une fête dans le bar d’à côté avec cris et bagarres dans la rue…Rieny from Netherlands – 31 October 2024 (8/10)
Het appartement is werkelijk heel mooi ingericht. Het is heel erg ruim en licht en licht midden in het centrum in een uitgaansgebied. Erg gezellig en alles dichtbij.
Heel goed contact met de host. Die is heel, hulpvaardig, snel en attent.
What could be improved: We moesten twee trappen op naar het appartement en met name de tweede trap is lastig en niet gemakkelijk voor mensen die minder goed ter been zijn. Omdat het in een uitgaansgebied ligt, kan het savonds laat wat lawaaig zijn, maar dat weet je van te voren en overdag was het erg rustig.
