Some person of the staff is very unkind. When we had problems with our room that was cold, he didn't manage the situation and he joked us

The guy spoke english. Sadly he did not get my reservation ahead of time. I emailed him to confirm the reservation even thought I wasnt supposed to and he got that which is good. He was really good about wanting the heater to work and offered us another room. Hostel world still sucks

Mirabeau Hotel is a good hotel for anyone whith a tight budget and not so much time in Brussels. The main problem with it is it's actual reconstruction (they stopped the water twice without warning us). Its location still is a real good point.

Decent hotel, nicely located, actually not hard to find. The water turned cold after the first shower so one better hurries. The twin beds are two seperate beds which tend to slide apart. In general it is still a cheap and good option to spend the night.

Rubbish directions from train station - its actually only a 15 minute walk but there were no directions for walking. Our tap broke on the first day and the toilet flushed when it felt like it but they did try and find us another room to stay in on the plus side! I would stay again for a short break but if you're fussy about things working properly I'd find somewhere elseclose

The host people were helpful all the time (they speak at least English and French) and like to talk to the guests. The free access to internet at the lobby functions all the time. From time to time there were some smell of smoking, dispersed by a little fan. The wake-up call runs very well. The cleanliness was good: indeed they changed bath towels every day.close

It was a good enough hotel - the location is fantastic. However, there seemed to be quite a lot of renovation works going on and the shower did keep fluctuating from hot to cold. Good breakfast.

Good location, always had someone at the desk but no hot water for 3 days (they are renovating at the moment) wouldn't go back, although as we complained about the lack of hot water we go a night free but I still wouldn't recommend to others in the near future. Maybe check it out in a few months.

Although under renovation, the staff were not that helpful. Very boring but right across the road from the trams which is a plus! Rooms are clean. I think though I will be going somewhere else next time.
