Hotel The Neufchatel

Easy check in, staff were fluent in English (a huge help!), room was clean & tidy, bathroom was very modern, bed was comfy and window let in a good amount of natural light and breeze. There was a fan tower in the room which helped with keeping the temperature cool as it was warm in mid July. Room size was cosy for one person and a single bed. Lift access was also handy, but only fits one person with luggage at a time. Fairly good sound proofing (but I also sleep with ear plugs) so I didn't hear too much noise coming from other rooms which was great. The street is quiet so there isn't much noise keeping you up at night. Right next to a main road so you can easily walk to places nearby. Would recommend a taxi to and from the main station as it's an uphill walk with luggage.

Great shower with plenty of power and hot water. Super comfy beds with spotless bed linen, mattress and mattress topper. Much needed after a long day visiting the sites. Didn't use the breakfast facility as we prefer to eat out at local cafes and there is one just at the end of the road. Location was good and plenty of nice eateries in the surrounding area. Easy access to centre of Brussels via the tram 2 mins walk away. The hotel staff were really helpful and friendly. Overall the hotel was perfect for our needs.

The room was big, the curtains were (mostly) blackout. I had a room facing the street so there was a little bit of noise but it wasn't too problematic, and its not a busy street so being a light sleeper it was a relief. I was also allowed to check out an hour later (may not always be possible so bear in mind) and leave my bags in reception whilst I went out for the rest of the day. Breakfast was pretty hearty with a cooked/continental style mixture on offer.

I used to come to the Neufchatel once per year before Covid, and now I'm planning to continue staying there for the duration of a yearly conference I use to visit. The hotel is small and not extremely luxurious, but comfortable and very well situated in relation to some of the restaurants I like to visit in Brussels. The decoration of the rooms is very lovely, with each room themed for a different Belgian person, building or specialty. I like that very much.

Good location, especially if you are travelling through Midi Station (short tram ride). Several tram\metro stations within walking distance, as well as restaurants, bakeries and supermarkets. Comfortable bed and little outside noise (even with open window). Spacious for a lone traveler. Staff was friendly and efficient when there. Nice bit of design with the different Belgian themes for each room. Was grateful for water cooler being available (the green way to go! :))
