Magnifique Studio au 2ème étage, à proximité de la gare du midi! Overview

Tucked away on the 2nd floor of a quiet building on 141 Rue Brogniez, the Magnifique Studio au 2ème étage is a cozy little gem near the bustling Gare du Midi in Brussels. Honestly, it’s a 3-star hotel, but you know what, it feels more like a home away from home. The rating of 8 is spot on; it’s not luxury, but it’s comfortable and well-maintained.

Stepping inside, the first thing that hits you is the warm, welcoming atmosphere. It’s actually surprisingly quiet, considering how close it is to the train station. The location is fantastic – you can easily walk to the Gare du Midi in about 5 minutes, and it’s just a stone’s throw from the local shops and restaurants on Rue Brogniez. I mean, there’s a great little bakery right across the street that you just have to try.

The studio itself is compact but well-designed, with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The bed is surprisingly comfortable, and there’s a small kitchenette where you can prepare your own meals. The Wi-Fi is reliable, which is a big plus in my book. The windows actually let in a good amount of natural light, making the space feel even more inviting. However, be aware that it can get a bit noisy during the day, especially if you’re near the window, due to the nearby traffic.

Check-in was a breeze, and the staff were friendly and helpful. There’s no parking on-site, but there’s street parking available, which was easy to find during my stay. The neighborhood itself is quite safe, and I felt comfortable walking around at night. It’s not the most touristy area, but that’s part of its charm – you get a real sense of local life in Brussels.

In conclusion, if you’re looking for a budget-friendly, comfortable place to stay that’s close to the train station and the heart of Brussels, the Magnifique Studio au 2ème étage is a great choice. It’s not going to blow you away with luxury, but it’s a solid, reliable option that won’t disappoint.

Reviews of Magnifique Studio au 2ème étage, à proximité de la gare du midi!

• Giulia from Italy – 26 May 2025 (8/10)

  Nice and clean place, perfect for few days in the city. Close to the station
  
  What could be improved: The neighborhood is not that safe or it felt not safe. Especially for young woman or person walking alone the crowd was really weird. During the night a lot of fights under the windows, we didn’t slept one night because of it

• Amelia from United Kingdom – 19 May 2025 (8/10)

  It was clean and the heater worked well. The owner let us check in 2 hours early and we really appreciate that.

• Matthew from United Kingdom – 19 May 2025 (7/10)

  Nice studio apartment which was clean and comfortable. Very close to Midi station so convenient.
  
  What could be improved: The area isn't very nice (very run down, lots of graffiti) and didn't feel particularly safe. I probably would not recommend a solo female traveller stay here.

• Olivia from United Kingdom – 9 October 2024 (8/10)

  Property close to the station. It’s not a glamorous area but was ideal for us as we were day tripping to other cities each day. It was a very clean property.
  
  What could be improved: If you have heavy luggage it would be a struggle taking it up the narrow staircase. Unfortunately on our last day the water was shut off on the street. Not the owners fault at all, just happens. They supplied us a bucket of water as well as lots of bottles to help get us through

• Martin from New Zealand – 6 September 2024 (9/10)

  Management were very obliging. Place was clean and spacious. Has free wifi even though Booking.com description stated they didn’t.
  
  What could be improved: Fussy people would complain about the place being quite dated and the street area being noisy and run down but that only added to its charm for us.

• Christian from Chile – 14 June 2024 (9/10)

  excellent, very clean and safe. the comfortable room.
  
  What could be improved: nothing

• Sara from Portugal – 30 May 2024 (7/10)

  Even saying in the description that wifi was not available, it was. The checkin went smoothly and the accommodation was near the main station. They also offered coffee capsules for the coffee machine (2).
  
  What could be improved: It didn't have a microwave nor an oven. The streets around were very sketchy, but we figured out ways to avoid the main problematic streets. The windows didn't isolate the sound very well from outside, and we had (studio 2) a lamp right in front our window, so it was difficult to cover all the light at night from outside. The cutlery was also not really clean, but it was offered dish soap to clean it. Last but not least.. the room was very tilted, so it felt strange to walk 🙂

• Amy from United Kingdom – 16 April 2024 (9/10)

  Loved this apartment! It was perfect for our four-night stay in Brussels, especially being so close to the train station as we did a couple of day trips and arriving from/leaving with the Eurostar was all so convenient! The bed was extremely comfortable, the place was clean and it was nice as there was a really good fan in the room. We would absolutely stay here again!
  
  What could be improved: The shower is quite temperamental – if I barely adjusted the temperature it would be boiling hot and putting it just slightly the other way would make it freezing cold, so you really just had to take the time to find the exact perfect spot for it. But the shower itself is nice after figuring it out!

• Aidan from Ireland – 2 March 2024 (9/10)

  Nice studio
  
  What could be improved: Nothing

• Jaymunoz from Ireland – 2 October 2023 (7/10)

  The studio itself was great.
  
  What could be improved: The location is not great. Even though it's close to the train station, the area is a bit dodgy.
