Hotel des Colonies er et udmærket hotel. Hotellet ligger praktisk og bekvemt - gåafstand til Bruxelles gamle centrum. Hyggelig vestibule og frokoststue. Værelset var enkelt men rent og badeværelset var helt nyrenoveret. Personalet var enormt venlige og hjælpsomme. Hotel med god atmosfære

Quite a plain looking hotel at first sight, rooms even plainer. Looks better in the pictures than in real life. Very thin walls and cold rooms. Bed quite comfy but the sheets had holes in them.

the hotel team was friendly and service oriented. But the standard over all is bad. Rooms not in a good condition, bathroom not in a good condition and not really clean, shower such small that you can not really use it, the toiletflusher runs the hole night, minibar was empty and not connected ................ Breakfirst, no comment. I've never seen […] such a minimal breakfirst and the bread was horrible. I am traveller, and I got better standards, cleaner rooms, and better breakfirst in much cheaper hotels. There where not many guests in the hotel, no wonder. Læs mere

Five minute walk from the hotel are the Rogier subway station and Brussels Noord rail station. City center is within a mile distance and across the road you have one of the largest malls in Brussels - the City 2 Mall. Concerning the hotel itself - the service ar the reception is outstanding. Breakfast is good. The only dissapointing thing is that our […] towels were not changed to fresh ones as frequently as they should be. Læs mere

The best feature of this hotel is its excellent location. It is 3 minutes walk to the Gare Du Nord Rail Station, also 10 minutes to the Grand Place besides being situated close to the main shopping street. It is an old hotel, but serves an adequate breakfast. The staff are helpful. I stayed with my daughter who was in Brussels to do some work at Covent […] Garden and the hotel proved to be right for our different needs. Læs mere

This is a small quiet hotel in the heart of the busiest area in Brussels, Place Rogier. It is only two minutes away from Rue Neuf and the Metro stop is round the corner. The amneties are pretty basic but for business travel it is excellent. There is no mini-bar in the room and no coffee making facilities. Breakfast is very basic but staff are very helpful […] and friendly. Læs mere

In a city dominated by high-rise soulless glass hotels, the Des Colonies was delightful. It has tradition combined with modern amenities and was value for money. Clean, comfortable and nice staff. The buffet breakfast was great. There are smoking and non-smoking rooms, windows that open and it is easy to find from the Nord station. I highly recommend […] this place. A word of caution. When arriving at night on any public transport do NOT leave by side exits or you run the risk of being robbed by gangs of Moroccans or even worse. I was lucky to be in the company of big Liverpool lads which made them back off. Læs mere

I stay here quite often. This is a good hotel for the price in a very central location. The rooms are Ok, the breakfast is good and there are internet facilities in the rather majestic entrance lobby. Just a word of caution: there are no hairdryers in the room, one has to ask for one at reception. On the last two occasions I stayed at the end of the […] week and there were no hairdryers left for loan. Luckily I had time to rush over to Blocker in the shopping centre and get one. My advice is therefore if you definitely need a hairdryer go with your own. Læs mere

This 100+ year old hotel is tucked away in a narrow side street a long way from anywhere a tourist would want to go in Brussels. It may be close to Rogier Metro station but even this station was hard to find. We tried to follow the map on the underground tram but had to get on and off several times before asking several people and arriving at Rogier. […] No escalators so had to carry our heavy cases (close to the end of our trip) up the stairs. On asking a man in the street who had to phone a friend we arrived at the hotel with its paint chipped front door, and had to press a well-used security button to be let in - this doesn't give one a good sense of security. We found Reception in the gloom down a long dark corridor which was even more off-putting. We found the Reception staff friendly and helpful, and the included breakfast in the large old dining room next morning was acceptable and adequate. I chose this Hotel by reviews and details about the location when it said it was close to the station. However this was a suburban Metro station 6 stops away from Brussels Midi station, and not the main station as I had anticipated. As another Reviewer mentioned, I too agree that this hotel should not be included in Brussels hotels on this site. There must be others more central and more appealing to tourists. Personally I could not leave Brussels quickly enough..... Læs mere

I have stayed in Brussels many times but this was my first time in this hotel. I was very pleased with everything and would definitely stay again. This hotel is very central to the city centre and one of the main rail stations in the city. One small thing that I did not like was the colour of the serviettes in the diningroom, please change them to white […] or a lighter colour. Læs mere

Nearby the metro station "Rogier" the Hotel Colonies is a good place to stay in Brussels. The staff on the reception and during the breakfast are committed and friendly. The room was very clean and daily tidy (quiet rooms are situated to the samll inner courtyard). The bath was quiet a little bit narrow, the shower head should be replaced while it extruded […] to all sides. The room should have at least one free power socket - to get power you need to cancel the tv-access. In the lobby you'll find a computer with internet acces for free. You also can use your private PC (WLAN) in the lobby for free internet access. Using the internet access in the room on your private PC is not for free. On balance, it's a good hotel for a trip to Brussels. Læs mere

Having stayed at this hotel several times before I continue to be impressed by its location, the cleanliness of its rooms and the breakfast. Just one thing however the maid left my window wide open and when I returned there were bird droppings on the inside of the window sill. The hotel is housed in an old but rather majestic building and the only problem […] for me is that I have a (not obvious) disability which means that I have difficulty getting out of the bath and therefore need a walk-in shower. Unfortunately I am not sure that they have any at this hotel. Now that Rogier metro station has completed some of its renovation the plus for this hotel is that there is an entrance through the Manhattan passage just round the corner from the hotel. Great for me because I cannot carry suitcases up or down stairs and here there is an escalator (I used to walk to de Brouckere where there are lifts). One word of warning though one can never rely on escalators in Brussels, so if you have problems like me always have a plan B. I would be sorry not to be able to stay at this hotel anymore but since I had an accident this time when getting out of the bath which scared and bruised me, I can only stay where I am guaranteed a walk in shower. If this is not a problem for you this hotel represents value for money in a prime location - a great deal! Læs mere

Close to the station and all EU institutes

This hotel comprises an old but rather majestic building which has retained most of its original features. The rooms are spacious as are some of the bathrooms, but old fashioned and simple. Unfortunately some of them smell of tobacco smoke. There is a good heating system in the winter and windows that open in the summer. A buffet breakfast is offered […] which is simple but of good quality. Tinned fruit and the usual cereals etc.. A good selection of breads and pastries, cheeses and cold meats, boiled eggs and toast. The coffee is drinkable which is unusual for the cheaper end of Brussels. The location is good if one wants to be near a good shopping Road (Rue Neuve) and the Grande Place. The other side is not so great being the start of the red light district which surrounds the North Station. There are plenty of restaurants nearby. The only extra is a daily city tax payment which one settles before leaving. Hairdryers are available from reception free but have to be asked for and guaranteed by a credit card. There are good metro connections and access although Rogier the nearest stop is difficult at the moment because of renovation and a resulting lack of escalator access and no lifts which is not good is one has a suitcase in tow. De Brouckere is a 10 minute walk away and has lifts to the metro platform. Læs mere

Very convenient to hop on/off the underground streetcar lines to get around the city. The local neigborhood does not have much to offer and the streets are underconstruction (Feb/2011). An old hotel that is comfortable and clean with an excellent breakfast. The breakfast is a combination of German style with various cold cuts of meat and hard boiled […] eggs along with French style pain au chocolate and crusty baggette. They also have a modern coffee machine for all styles of morning coffee. Læs mere

This hotel is horrible and should be removed from Hotels.com as an option , It is smelly , dirty, staff is rude and unhelpful. So bad , did not even check in , went to find another hotel nearby , which was much higher priced but was clean.

Hotel is very quiet and rather plush for the price, with Art Deco decor and furnisihings throughout. It is about 3 mins walk from Rogier metro station (ext 6). Breakfast is more than adequate and served in a pleasant, airy room. Hotel retains the slightly formal atmosphere of the military gentlemen's club it once was.

This was a short break to see the Brussels Winter Wonderland / markets. Extremely clean and fresh, non-smoking, simple but not basic, justifiably described as a Boutique Hotel. This quiet hotel is well located, very close to some of the "big chain" hotels but at very reasonable rates. We travelled by Eurostar to Brussels midi and onwards by taxi (our […] first visit). It is only a short walk to the metro system, and we travelled around and returned easily to Eurostar by Metro. Although there are no drinks making facilities in the rooms the self-service breakfast offered a wide selection of Continental items including cereals and a good variety of drinks. The food vending machine was poorly stocked during our visit but local shops were available until very late. There is also a variety of food outlets close by. The lift is antiquated but was operational. The double room was generous and the triple room had three full sized beds albeit a little cramped (Grandma shared with my two daughters). The main lounge appeared to be closed from late evening and the hotel appeared quiet over the week-end when we stayed at the end of November. The provision of a free internet terminal assisted us with planning the sight-seeing and alerted us to the advance purchase of various discount voucher schemes. (Check and see if the metro is still offering an all day 5 person ticket!) We would use this Hotel again. Læs mere

Foyer looked great but rooms a bit shabby,. overall ok for a 3star. Location good.

In an area (Rogier) containing many top name hotels, the Colonies is tucked away in a back street almost next door to the metro station. But it's a nicely appointed hotel, with good decor (if fading a little - liked the fountain though), a nice bar (only opens 6-11pm though) and an excellent breakfast room & spread. The room itself (single) was small […] but fine and very clean. Small bathroom/shower OK, TV with 40 channels (only 2 English). Staff professional and personable. We chose it as we were travelling on the Eurostar early next day, which is fine as the metro line runs directly Rogier to Bruxelles Midi. A few slightly dodgy looking stripclubs in the main road, but nothing too grim. About a 10-15 min walk to the Grand Place. Plenty of bars within walking distance. Enjoyed the stay. Læs mere

The room was in good shape. Modern amenities, but a fan would have helped with air circulation during a hot summer-time stay. Friendly, helpful staff. Clean room. Free Wi-fi only available in the lobby.

Kan så absolutt anbefale dette hotellet. Ligger veldig bra til. Inngang fra en sidegate og veldig stille.Så omtrent ingen i gangene, så overraskelsen var stor til frokost. Ligger rett ved starten av gågata med store shopping muligheter. Kort avstand til Grand Place. Personalet virket litt morske i starten, men det gikk fort over. Servicen var god og […] vi fikk bra forklaringer på alle våre spørsmål. Læs mere

Hintaansa nähden hyvä. ei luksusta etsivälle, mutta rauhallinen ja puhdas vanha hotelli.

helt greit og hygglig hotell. Svært god frokost. Men de får minus for svært ustabilt trådløst nettverk og at det ikke var hårføner på badet

Muito bom o hotel e o serviço! o café da manha maravilhoso!

Nous avons passé un très bon séjour dans cet hotel. Le seul regret que nous ayons eu c'est qu'on nous ait refusé de nous fournir une chambre avec un lit double au lieu de deux lits. Nous étions en couple. L'employé à qui nous avons demandé cela nous a conseillé de rapprocher les deux lits, mais à refuser de nous fournir des draps pour un lit deux p […] laces... Læs mere

Hôtel bien situé, une station de métro ou 500m de la gare Nord, belle architecture, rénové mais reste vieillot au niveau des installations (ascenseur presque de l'époque coloniale et TV dans la chambre datant des années 90 ou presque). Bon accueil et très bon buffet pour le petit-déjeuner. Malgré l'interet wi-fi gratuit et disponible au niveau de la […] réception (avec desktop à disposition), le wi-fi dans les étages est non seulement payant mais en plus ne fonctionne pas, malgré un appel à a réception qui n'a pas suivi dans le service. Dommage. La déco de la réception n'est pas si mal avec notamment une fontaine mais le décor aurait pu être plus "colonial" au niveau des décors, voire accessoires. Donc pour un hôtel classé 3 étoiles, la 3e est... limite. Læs mere

Das Hotel liegt in der Nähe des Nordabhnhofs und in der Nächer zur näachsten U-Bahn-Haltestelle. Das Haus selbst hat die besten Zeiten schon hinter sich und bedarf einer Renovierung, insbesondere der Zimmer. Das Frühstücksbuffet ist für Brüsseler Verhältnisse gut, das Personal freundlich.

Siisti iso hotelli Rogierin metroaseman läheisyydessä. Halpa hinta ainakin viikonloppuna ja vieläpä runsas aamiainen.

Nära till tåg, tundelbana och shopping gatan börjar där. Mycket för pengarna.

ロビーでは無料。（ロビーでwepキーをもらう） 接続は問題なし。 部屋からは1泊7EUR そして僕が宿泊した部屋は 場所が悪いのか、接続が1MBしか出ない。 ぜんぜん使えなかった。 結局無駄金払って、ロビーでやってました。 （欧州のホテルはこんなものかな） あとシャワーがちょろちょろしか出ないのが 使いにくかったですね。。

Posizione Centrale, spazi comuni molto belli, nella camera manca il bidet, servizio ben rapportato al prezzo

Hôtel bien situé et dans un environnement calme, propice au repos et aux déplacements dans la ville de Bruxelles. Nous gardons un excellent souvenir de notre séjour dans l'Hôtel '' Les Colonies" de Bruxelles. Puisse les dirigeants perséverer dans cette quête de la qualité du service pour le bonheur des clients.

Mycket centralt hotell. 15 min med tåg från flygplatsen till tågstation Nord. 5 min promenad från stationen till hotellet sedan endast 5 minuter för att komma till huvudshoppinggatan. Mycket prisvärt och helt OK frukost. Kommer definitivt att boka detta igen om vi kommer åter till Bryssel!
