MEININGER Hotels Bruxelles City Center

MEININGER Hotels Bruxelles City Center Overview

You know what, the MEININGER Hotels Bruxelles City Center, located at Quai du Hainaut 33, is honestly a pretty solid budget choice in Brussels. I mean, it’s got a 3-star rating and an 8.4 score, which is pretty decent for a city center hotel. The first thing I noticed was how close it was to the action – just a stone’s throw from the bustling streets of Sint-Jans-Molenbeek, which is sort of like the local’s Brussels, you know?

The hotel itself is pretty modern and clean, with a sort of industrial-chic vibe going on. The rooms are compact but well-equipped, and the shared bathrooms are surprisingly clean and well-maintained. The staff, well, they’re friendly and helpful, but honestly, they could use a bit more training in English. The breakfast, which is included, is actually pretty good – a decent spread of breads, cheeses, and meats, with a few hot options to choose from.

What I really liked about this place was its location. It’s not in the typical touristy areas, so you get a bit of a local experience. There’s a small park nearby, which is nice for a morning jog, and the local shops and cafes around the corner offer a taste of real Brussels life. The check-in process was pretty smooth, and parking, though limited, was available at a reasonable rate.

I mean, it’s not the Ritz, but for a 3-star hotel, it punches above its weight. If you’re looking for a budget stay in Brussels that’s close to the action but away from the tourist crowds, the MEININGER Hotels Bruxelles City Center is a solid choice. Just be prepared for a bit of a language barrier and the occasional noise from the street, especially on weekends. But hey, that’s part of the charm, right?

• Florencia from Spain (9/10)

  It was really good. The young staff was very kind. The place is great, has everything you need. Very clean and comfortable. It’s not super close to the center of the city but it’s ok.

• Shu from United States of America (8/10)

  Super nice rooms for the price. The beds are sturdy and comfy, and doesn't shake when you climb up. Bathrooms are a huge plus as they're spacious, and the shower room is separate from the toilets. You put your card into the slot on a bed to 'claim' a bed, which is a nice way to let other roommates know you're here.

• Daveco from Slovenia (9/10)

  This is a hotel with very vibrant youth energy. Room was very spacious, beds were comfy, but heating of the room wasn't good. Not that it was cold, but it didn't warm up to expectations. Breakfast was good, I missed scrambled eggs and bacon, but there was lots other food to choose from. Tram or bus is 100 meters from hotel that takes you directly to main train station and to city centre. Also you can walk to main square, 15 min. Would recommend!
