Excellent

Very convenient location for all the sightseeing and its right in the heart of all the activities. Very charming and has a very different decor than other Hotels.
Downside is that cabs do not go directly to the Hotel. Pick up and drop off is away from the Hotel which is an inconvenience.
Coffee and tea making facilities is available, but no refrigerator or making coffee or tea in the room.
Overall it was a very good experience. I would recommend for its difference, charm and location.
Excellent location in the center and withing walking distance to the highlights of the city. Room very spacious and excellent breakfast. One problem, the hotel is located on a pedestrian area and no cars can take you there. You have to walk with your luggage for almost 4 blocks.
The apartment we stayed I. Very very comfortable and accommodating for our family of 4. There was a separate bedroom and 2 beds in the living room with plenty of space. We had to walk up a lot of stairs to get to the elevator to get to the apartment. It was fine for us but cold be difficult with a lot of luggage or for people traveling that have difficulty climbing stairs. They stored our luggage after we checked out. I would recommend this location. There wasn’t a lot of noise outside the night we stayed.
Upon coming in, we were able to check in early at 10:30 AM, giving us time to freshen up and start walking around the city. The staff was extremely nice. Our only issue was climbing up the stairs with a lot of heavy suitcases because we were put on the facility next door for family.
Lovely cozy decor....staff lovely.. Great location... Worth more than 3*..would highly recommend especially for solo travelling... Just generally great to get to everything...
The hotel was not ready for guests. Ladders in the entryway, lobby restroom very dirty and elevators not working at times. The towels in the room were very small, worn and stained. Also, the beverage bar was only open from 6 pm to 11 pm. If you wanted water or coke, it wasn’t available. Disappointed overall.
Air conditioner not working
Fan no working
No elevator to access room with long stairs
The room was in another building. With an access in the middle of the street
I booked a single room as Expedia suggested for solo travellers and the rating was showing excellent
However the bed was too short and small. and you could fell down when you are at sleep. Was not able to sleep well at all. The single room is good only if you prefer to book a separate room for a child but for adult….
The restaurant is amazing with good vibe and vibrant menu…
I had a 1st floor room facing the pedestrian walkway. It was very noisy. The hotel is very dated. I’ve never had a room safe which required a key to lock. I fortunately happened to be in my room several days after checkin when a maintenance man asked to enter to check the safe for a key. I’d been given a key after returning to the front desk when I discovered the safe would not lock. This really unnerved me.
The lobby is nice but the entrance was a bit awkward. The rooms were decently sized but some of our towels were stained when we wanted to use them. The breakfasts were nice and the building was well situated in the city.
Craves is a large hotel with quite an upmarket feel. The rooms have a distinctive colour theme which I really liked. Reception and the dining area are both quite luxurious. Staff were all friendly and the hotel is in a great position for all the main attractions of Brussels city centre, with the Grand Place and Bourse a short walk. The central railway station is walkable in 10 minutes or so. There are lots of cafes, bars, restaurants and shops close by and the unmissable Café à la Mort Subite a short walk.
The room was spacious and very comfortable. The overall feel of the hotel was very unique and fun. The registration desk is at the back of the restaurant so that was a little confusing. There is a really cool speakeasy in the hotel that I would recommend visiting.
