The hype
Great value for the location, but bring earplugs and lower your expectations for the bathroom size.
Hotel Barry
$90-140 / yö
Varaa tämä, jos You want to be 10 minutes from the Grand Place for under $100 and don't mind a bit of grit.
Miksi ihmiset rakastuvat sitä
- Metro station Anneessens is literally at the front door
- Walking distance to Manneken Pis and Grand Place
- Surprisingly decent water pressure in the tiny showers
Pikakatsaus: A functional crash pad in a rough-around-the-edges neighborhood that trades sleep quality for unbeatable convenience.
Arvioinut @GiuliaCulmone1223989: I'm absolutely gutted I can't use this booking anymore, but my loss is your gain! This triple room is right in the heart of Brussels and I'm letting it go for half price. It's the perfect setup for a quick city break with two friends.

Reality check
The 'Budget' rooms are truly budget—expect to haul luggage up narrow stairs and hear your neighbors' every move.
- You are a backpacker or solo traveler on a strict budget
- You plan to spend 16 hours a day exploring and just need a bed
- You prioritize proximity to the Metro over luxury
Siisteys ja kunnossapito
7.9
- Housekeeping: Daily service is consistent, but don't expect deep-clean detail. Dust on top of wardrobes is common.
- Bathroom hygiene: Generally clean surfaces, but grout can be worn and shower drains are sometimes slow.
- Maintenance: Functional but tired. Expect scuffed walls, worn carpets, and the occasional loose handle.
- Linens & towels: Clean and white, but towels can be on the thin/scratchy side.
- Odors & scents: Neutral to slightly musty in older rooms; occasional whiff of smoke from the street.

FAQ & Piilotut vinkit
Kaikki mitä haluat todella tietää ennen varaamista.
Is there air conditioning?
Generally no. Most rooms rely on central heating and opening windows, which lets in noise.
Is the neighborhood safe?
It's central but gritty. Place Anneessens has loitering and homelessness; exercise caution at night but it's generally busy.
Does the elevator go to all floors?
No. The 'Budget' category rooms are typically located in a wing accessible only by stairs.
Is breakfast included?
Usually not. It's available for ~€8, but it's very basic (bread, croissant, coffee).
How is the WiFi?
Surprisingly good and free throughout the hotel, suitable for basic streaming.
Is there parking?
Yes, private parking is available for ~€25/day, but spaces are limited and tight.
Sisäpiirin vinkit
- ✨
Skip the hotel breakfast; 'Boulangerie Charli' is a short walk and offers vastly superior pastries.
- ✨
The 'Foods 'n' Moods' restaurant next door is a convenient late-night option for American-style comfort food.
- ✨
If you get a street-facing room, ask reception for a fan immediately upon check-in—they run out fast in summer.
5 asiaa, jotka sinun pitää tietää ennen matkaasi
💡The shower curtains are often too short, leading to a flooded bathroom floor.
💡There is a vending machine in the lobby that is cheaper than the minibar (which doesn't exist).
💡You might smell cigarette smoke in the hallways despite the non-smoking policy.
💡The electrical outlets can be scarce and oddly placed—bring a power strip.
💡The 'courtyard view' is often just a view of a brick wall, but it's worth it for the silence.
