Olives

Olives Overview

Tucked away on 7 Olivetenhof, the Olives hotel in Brussels is a cozy little gem that I stumbled upon during my travels. You know, it’s not one of those flashy, high-end places, but honestly, it’s got a certain charm that makes it feel like home. With a 7.9 rating, it’s clear that other travelers appreciate the authenticity too.

Upon entering, the first thing that struck me was the warm, friendly reception – the staff were genuinely welcoming, and check-in was a breeze. The rooms are simple, but they’ve got everything you need for a comfortable stay. The beds are surprisingly comfy, and the decor is understated, with a touch of local flair. You’ll find yourself in the heart of Brussels, just a short stroll from the bustling Rue Neuve, where you can grab a bite to eat or do some shopping.

What really sets Olives apart, though, is its location. I mean, it’s sort of a hidden gem – not right on the main drag, so it’s quieter, but still close enough to everything. You can easily walk to the Grand Place, which is a must-see when you’re in Brussels. The hotel is also just a stone’s throw from the Botanique metro station, making it super convenient for getting around the city.

Now, it’s not perfect. The Wi-Fi can be a bit spotty at times, and the breakfast selection, while decent, isn’t exactly gourmet. But you know what? For a 3-star hotel, it punches above its weight. The value for money is hard to beat, and the personal touches – like the little welcome note and local recommendations from the staff – make all the difference.

In conclusion, if you’re looking for a place that feels more like a homestay than a hotel, with a friendly atmosphere and a great location, Olives is worth considering. It’s not going to blow you away with luxury, but it’s a solid choice for travelers who value a genuine, comfortable experience in the heart of Brussels.

• Taylor from United States of America (9/10)

  Amazing location, easy to find, comfortable and cute.

• Ylva from Sweden (9/10)

  Great Location. Very nice and well equipped kitchen, with a nice view over the street and church. Coffee and tea provided. It is rather lively outside so it can be noisy, but being so central, that is expected! The fan that was provided was good, since it can become quite warm in the flat when it’s hot outside!
  Do visit the restaurant that has the same owners! Great food!
