Gresham Belson Hotel Brussels

Nice for a business trip stop. Tiny gym, breakfast € 12. Great peace of mind and outstanding nights rest. Turn the lower knob all the way forward by pushing the button for hot hot extra hot water~ Took me a min to figure that one out

Remote location. Run down facilities. Lenghty intrusive registration. Uncomfortable beds. Sorry, but pls. avoid!

I can’t actually think of many nice things to say about this property, other than that most of the staff was nice and the included breakfast has a nice selection. The breakfast room and restaurant are cozy and seem recently updated.
It’s in kind of a crummy location, the rooms are OLD with problems a plenty (and we’re in a suite, so I can only imagine what a standard room is like) — phones don’t work, tub doesn’t drain (which means water up to your shins when showering), we have a shower cap over our smoke detector (not sure why, but we’re afraid to take it down, just in case), the incredibly well hidden hair dryer is in a drawer underneath the television (I had to call down to the front desk to ask for one and the maid came up and looked for it, then showed it to me like, «duh.» But why? Why is it under the television, permanently fixed to the inside of the drawer and nowhere near a mirror and why is it unplugged making you think it doesn’t work until you climb around underneath the furniture and notice that the cord that looks like it’s plugged in is not?), the sink is nearly impossible to turn on or off without nearly ripping the faucet off, the rooms are seriously 70s you guys, room service doesn’t start until 5 (no lunch for you), and even when it’s on, they’ll probably just tell you that they don’t have what you want in an impatient way.
It is clean though.

Génial
Génial. Les chambres sont spacieuses, belles, bien décorées, grandes, bien agencées aussi. Enfin tout pour passer une bonne nuit. Un grand confort aussi dans la salle de bains qui vous ravira avec la grande baignoire ou alors une simple douche. Le plus pratique, c’est la navette qui vient directement vous cherchez à l’aéroport, plus besoin de chercher un taxi pendant une heure ni de prendre le bus. Très pratique.
