Maison d’hôtes de Xavier Overview
Tucked away on Avenue Brugmann in the quaint Ukkel/Uccle neighborhood of Brussels, the Maison d’hôtes de Xavier is a charming 3-star hotel that feels like a home away from home. Honestly, it’s not one of those flashy, high-rise establishments; it’s more like a cozy retreat that you’d stumble upon in a European village. With a rating of 8.2, it’s clear that guests appreciate the personal touch and warmth that this place offers.
You know what really stood out to me? The check-in experience was surprisingly smooth – a rarity in my travels. The staff, who were genuinely friendly, gave me a warm welcome and even offered a quick tour of the facilities. The rooms are simple, but thoughtfully decorated with a nod to Belgian charm. I mean, the bed was so comfortable, I almost didn’t want to leave it each morning.
But let’s talk about the location. It’s not right in the bustling heart of Brussels, but honestly, that’s part of its charm. It’s a peaceful retreat, yet the city’s attractions are just a short tram ride away. If you’re into exploring local life, you’ll find plenty of charming cafes and boutiques within walking distance on streets like Avenue de la Toison d’Or. And for those who prefer a bit of greenery, the nearby Sonian Forest is a great spot for a leisurely stroll.
The Maison d’hôtes de Xavier is a place that feels authentic, with its cozy atmosphere and attentive service. It’s not the flashiest hotel in town, but it’s the kind of place where you can truly unwind. The breakfast, by the way, is a delightful spread of local delicacies that’ll get your day off to a great start. So, if you’re looking for a quiet retreat with a touch of Belgian hospitality, this is your place. And trust me, after a long day of sightseeing, there’s nothing better than coming back to a warm, inviting space like this.

Reviews of Maison d’hôtes de Xavier

La tranquillité
What could be improved: On ne voyait personne, un peu anonymeCarii26 from Austria – 29 May 2025 (8/10)
Sehr nette Unterkunft – bequemes Bett, tolle Dusche, Kaffeemaschine und Mikrowelle – alles vorhanden. Und ein eindrucksvolles Stiegenhaus!
What could be improved: Boden und Bett haben ziemlich geknarrt beim Betreten und bewegen, die Vorhangstangen sollten repariert werden (sie hängen schief auf einer Seite). 😉 Der Mülleimer war bei meiner Ankunft nicht entleert.Jones from United States – 21 May 2025 (4/10)
The neighborhood was quiet and close to tram
What could be improved: 1. The room was not on the second floor as stated in the email sent. Had I know that the room was in fact on the third floor and up four flights of stairs, I would not have booked. We are traveling with large suitcases as this was just an overnight stop at the end of a very long trip.
2. The instructions stated that the room number was on the door, it was quite confusing to eventually find the room number was only written on the key ring.
3. The sheets, pillows and bath towels all smelled of mildew and towels were very scratchy. No wash clothes provided or hand towels to dry hands after washing hands.
Overall, had it not been so late in the day and had we not been only staying one night? We would not have stayed. Especially since when I rang the number provided, no one answered so even if I had been able to leave, there was no one to notify.Ian from United Kingdom – 13 May 2025 (7/10)
Spectacular room in a spectacular building. So easy to get to on the tram with all the local shops & bars in easy walking distance
What could be improved: Storage space was sadly lacking to unpack our travel bags. A small stylish shelving unit in the bathroom would be great for putting wash kits/ make up on. Ditch the futon which is far too low for most people & replace it with a small sofa at the foot of the bed. Then use the space to give a larger kitchen unit. The current space is far too small & crowded. A dustpan, washing up bowl & some kitchen towel for cleaning up spillages would also be useful.Julia from United Kingdom – 8 May 2025 (9/10)
The size of the room.
What could be improved: The front door that was impossible to close quietlyPetra from Czech Republic – 8 May 2025 (9/10)
The building and rooms are very clean and beautiful, the area is safe and quiet and well connected by trams to Brussels centre. Plus we were given plenty of information by Xavier about the city.
