Room is clean and looks like the pictures. Smaller than you may expect. Very noisy, you can hear a lot of noise from the road outside, from the elevator and from other rooms if someone loud is next to you. Staff were very friendly.

The property had a comfortable, good sized double bed, with nice memory foam pillows. The shower was excellent with good pressure and hot water which can be lacking at some cheaper hotels. There was a shop just outside the entrance which was convenient. The surrounding area was sketchy, and the walk from the north station was not family friendly. the windows were not remotely soundproof and there were trams passing all night which made for a rough nights sleep. Overall did what it needed to do, a place to sleep and shower but wouldn’t recommend to a friend.

Good value for money

This hotel is well located - a 15 minute (albeit sketchy) walk from Brussels Nord train station. It was good price for money in the sense that it wasn't too expensive for a decent property. The room was clean and serviceable. The staff was great!

At check in, receptionist (Kaan) was so kind and helpful. Staff was fine during the stay. Room is clean, effective and warm. Location is very good near Botanique and 20m from Gillon tram station.It’s something minor but for me the bed could be a little better. Price is acceptable.

I was sent to a second building of the Hotel Retro into the rook 502. Which is fine as a standard. But nobody warned me that there is no lift up to the 5th floor. It ends on the fourth floor then you have to walk up taking narrow wooden stairs with your bag.
