European District Hostel

Mini studio avec mezzanine pour une personne. Nous étions 2, et c'est peu adapté (couette 1P, 1 bol, 1 chaise). Pas très bien équipé (1 mini poêle, pas de verre, aucune épicerie de base). WC et sdb sur le palier, pas dérangeant. C'était quand même pas mal, et bien placé, plein de bus a proximité pour aller partout en 15-20 min.

The only advantage of this place is the low price (which corresponds directly to the low standard of accommodation as well as good location not far from the most important European institutions, right next to three charming squares, located in a row: Marguerite, Ambiorix and Marie Louise. The name "EU District Studios" means a small building on the traditional, quiet Charles Quint street, among tenement houses. It has long been in need of thorough renovation. There are only few apartments. There are steep, uncomfortable stairs and no elevator. In my studio no 7 (on second floor), there was no toilet paper. After arriving late in the evening I had to fetch toilet paper from the ugly toilet which I found in desperation on the landing. The water in the toilet was turned off. I had to turn the water on and turn it off each time after use, otherwise the water would pour out in a strong stream. I couldn't use the sink because the water didn't drainl. There was no soap at all - I bought liquid soap in the shop. The condition of the electricity network, no connection to the TV, a bedside lamp that I found unplugged and lying on the floor under a falling apart box - it's better not to comment. Nothing worked properly in the tiny shower cabin, but at least the water drained without any problems. Fortunately, the room was clean, but everything (walls, decor, floor, lighting, interior doors, etc.) requires renovation and refreshment. The quality is low however the room is spacious.

This lousy place—I have to climb 62 narrow, steep steps to get up here, and there's no elevator. The so-called password lock is broken, and there's no sense of security inside the room. N people share the toilet and bathroom, and the windows have no curtains—everything inside is completely visible from outside. I checked out at 8 a.m. on June 6 as agreed with Expedia, but my request for a refund of the last day's room charge was also denied. I would never book this place again myself, and I absolutely wouldn’t recommend any other travelers go there to suffer.

Safe and quiet property. Close to a number of bus links and about a 15 minute walk to a Metro Station. Very fast WiFi (about 350mb download and upload speed). No check in desk, you get an email before you check in with instructions. No private bathroom but good for a one night stay.

Very small room. Very thin mattress. The construction of the "second floor" on which you sleep doesn't feel much professional and a bit unsafe. The air gets stuffy very fast when sleeping because of the lack of space. The shared bathrooms were clean when we arrived but got absolutely disgusting by the second night with urine everywhere.

Good potential but still a construction site.

Réservation en fonction de notre budget et d'une nuit courte que nous devions passer tout prêt, la chambre est dans un état tres limite .l'immeuble semble en travaux mais de mauvaises qualités. la kitchenette est sur le point de tomber, le parquet est plein de trou, le micro onde tient a peine au mur,que nous le poserons par terre par sécurité, la vaisselle est quasi inexistante et sale . Le garde- corps sur le balcon ne donne pas confiance. Les sanitaires sont tres moyens aussi . Seuls points positifs :de bons matelas et l'eau bien chaude sous la douche .

Arrives sur place parti commune en travaux. Pas moyen de retrouver les codes l'ouvrier ma aider. A savoir que les salle de bain et toilettes sont communs et à refaire. Ne mérite tout simplement pas trois étoiles sur l'appli.

O acesso foi bom. Desta vez o apartamento tinha cadeira, mas ergonomia do apartamento é muito má. Organização das coisa na kitchenette é terrível.

Pratique pour un séjour court quand on voit les prix des hôtels à Bruxelles. Il y a une kitchenette ce qui est pratique, mais pas de SDB/WC privatifs. Je précise qu'il n'y avait aucune poubelle ni dans ma chambre ni dans le reste de l'hôtel.

Un très grand potentiel mais encore des travaux et beaucoup de ménage à faire surtout dans le jardin

Very nice and central area, it was easy to get in, you get to codes for the main door and your room door. Wifi works well, it’s a nice space, everything you need is there. Very good value for the price, only thing it could have been a bit cleaner but no big deal.

The room was so dirty and they are under construction…

Nicht sauber, Checkin hat 1 Stunde Verspätung!! Da gibt es niemanden zu helfen, die räume sind nicht beschriftet und alles sind Unfassbar schmutzig. Ich würde es nicht empfehlen.

Mi sono trovato molto bene! Stanza pulita e spaziosa. Bagni in comune abbastanza puliti. Ottimo rapporto qualita prezzo

I stayed in room zero, in the basement, with no windows in the room, with a lot of damp smell. The kitchen, very dirty, has a window for a trash can, with bags of trash, broken furniture and lots of rubbish. The building was under construction, I didn't receive the message with the door code, then they sent me a photo of the lock, without the code. A nightmare.

NO vengáis a este sitio. Para empezar no nos mandaron el código para abrir la puerta y tuvimos que estar esperando casi una hora para que nos lo mandaran. Cuando por fin conseguimos entrar nos dimos cuenta de que no había pasado nadie a limpiar. Las sábanas estaban sucias y usadas, había restos de comida y el suelo estaba sucio.

La salle de bain était vraiment sale et l'appartement était médiocre.

It was ok - but I booked in a rush and did not realise how far out of town it was and it was not the easiest place to find. There is no metro or tram nearby so unless you invest time looking at buses it was a 30 walk into town, 40 mins to Grand Place. I stayed 6 nights but there was no oven (only hobs and microwave) and they only leave you one towel and a hand towel for the stay. I had to call up to get fresh towels and they did change them but why not at least give you enough for stay on check in. The place had seen better days and is badly in need of tarting up for instance a tile in the bathroom was loose. Everything functional but nothing of comfort. I’d say it’s for single guest as only one chair at the kitchen table. There is a wicker chair but no cushion so a bit uncomfortable. It’s a shame as shower was good, it’s just a bit petite. With a makeover it would be quite nice.

La verdad que estudio era un poco pequeño. La silla estaba sucia y una pata suelta, por lo que no nos pudimos sentar (ya que mi amigo se sento y se cayo de ella) y la parte de arriba, donde estaba la cama, el borde raspa, ya que es de madera y no estaba lijado. Otro problema es que no hay aire acondicionado y la zona de la cama, al ser en alto y haber tan poco espacio era muy caluroso. Tambien tuvimos un percance, hubo un fallo electrico y se fue la luz en todo el edificio durante casi 3 horas, aunque es verdad que el propietario respondio rapido y se soluciono.

It appears that this property is constantly under construction. My room was poorly designed. There was a bed by the door to the balcony which partially blocked it. My tv didn’t work all 7 days I was there although I complained. I was locked out of my room before I was given a reminder for payment. I will never rent any property owned by these people. Others in the building had trouble getting in as well for no good reason. The bed was comfortable and the shower room was decent.

I don't recommend this place at all. I got locked out of my room because of an unknown problem and it took 30 minutes before I was able to get in my room, after texting the owner through 3 apps and calling Expedia, and then another 30 minutes for the problem to get fixed. The front door also had a problem that locked me and other residents outside the building twice. The room is good, but the stairs leading to the upper part leave no room for mistakes. There is no way to wash your hands in the shared toilets, meaning everyone touches the toilet room's door handle and the shower's door handle without washing their hands. The bed is very uncomfortable, I felt the springs in my back every night all night. Yes, it is an affordable place, but I will never return and I recommend you reconsider.

The loft room is very basic & has no curtains, the other rooms are nicer. The shower drain smells & toilets are small. Security & check in is good

Muy pequeño el cuarto y el baño exageradamente incómodo y chico.

Very cosy space that did the job. There wasn't a lot of space however we knew what we were getting ourselves into with the pictures on the website. It did say double bunk bed however when we got there it was a double bed on a second floor, (assuming that that's where the bunk bit came from). Not too far of a walk from transport links so good if you are looking to stay outside of the main city.

No hot water Messaged the property but no response

The toiler paper in the bathrooms was very scarce; Shower gel was very scarce; Bathrooms were very tight; floor was missing tiles; kitchen balcony was very crooked; check in information (codes for the doors) was not easy to obtain (we had to call and text the support number multiple times); images of the apartments on the website are misleading (they didn't show these flaws). The bed was comfortable. While the price per night is lower than other properties in the region, over all we considered that the conditions did not match the price.

There's no staff. I had no issues, but in case of issues, I wouldn't have known what to do.

Pour ce prix, difficile de trouver mieux à Bruxelles. C'est raisonnablement propre et fonctionnel, les salles de bain et WC sont sur les paliers mais ça va de pair avec les tarifs. Confronté à un léger souci de porte, j'ai pu constater la très grande réactivité en cas de problème. Je recommande.

Do not book this place. I travel a lot and I’m not picky regarding accommodation however I would not recommend this property to anybody. Unfortunately, I never received the entry code and I ended up staying at another hotel. They apologised but it doesn’t change the fact that I never got to enter or use what I had paid for. I suggested that the property issue a partial refund as a gesture of goodwill, even though my payment was non-refundable, due to the errors on the property’s part. Instead of replying and resolving the matter, they ghosted and didn’t reply anymore - very unprofessional. I will be raising a formal complaint and hopefully this property will change their ways, or be removed from Expedia to avoid others experiencing the same. Extremely disappointed.

Tuve un problema de ingreso a la habitacion, ya que no me enviaron el codigo de acceso a mi correo y me quede afuera la primera noche, porque los propietarios no contestaban pronto los mensajes ni llamadas, hasta el siguiente dia de madrugada 4:00 am pude accesar. Fue una mala experiencia en el check in. Por lo cual le solicite un reembolso parcial al propietario pero no me ha dado respuesta. Espero que atienda mi solicitud porque ya me retire de Belgica. Por las instalaciones: la ropa de cama estaba sucia, pocos utencilios de cocina basicos. Los otros 2 dias, bien incluyendo la salida.

My phone as been stolen during my stay in Brussels and i had no way to get in my apartments during the night since my codes were on my phone and the owner of the place were unreachable.

Digicode ne fonctionne pas. Plusieurs fois on a essayer et cela ne fonctionne pas. Merci autres personnes présentes dans le lotissement.

Called them and they never contacted me back nor given the code. Do not book with them

No codes provided to access the room beforehand. Shower Impossible to adjust from cold to scalding hot. No bedside lamp. Floor not cleaned. Hasty conversion of a traditional Brussels home by freelance contractor. Shame because very good location in relation to EU institutions. Unfortunately an EU summit subjected us to helicopter patrols which made it hard to get some sleep.

Near bus stop. No shower in room (only in hall). Not very clean room. Only matras, no bed, on first floor with difficult stairs. Instructions to open main door and room were sent by Expedia 5 minutes before arrival without further notice.

O local e otimo, ha todo tipo de facilidades nos arredores. O acesso e facil. Muito bom.
