The hype
Travelers obsess over the decor and rooftop views but consistently complain about the location's safety and the lack of in-room coffee machines.
The Hoxton Brussels
$150-250/ νύχτα
Κρατήστε αυτό αν You want the coolest lobby in Brussels and don't mind a gritty neighborhood for the sake of vibes and views.
Γιατί Το Αγαπούν
- The 70s-inspired retro interiors are genuinely stunning
- Tope rooftop bar offers some of the best views in the city
- The 'Flexy Time' policy lets you check in/out whenever (if you book direct)
Γρήγορη Ματιά: A design masterpiece stranded in a business district that feels sketchy after dark.
Αξιολόγηση από @ablondetourist: I stayed here for a weekend and the vibe was electric. The rooftop terrace quickly became my go-to spot for sunset drinks, and the retro decor in the lobby made working remotely feel genuinely stylish. It’s easily the coolest spot in town right now.

Reality check
The 'Shoebox' rooms are exactly that—tiny. If you have more than a carry-on, you will struggle for space.
- You thrive in a lobby culture where locals co-work and drink cocktails
- You prioritize aesthetics and rooftop views over a central tourist location
- You are traveling with a dog (they are treated like royalty here)

Πριν κάνετε κράτηση
Καλό να γνωρίζετε
- The 'Flexy Time' check-in/out is a game changer but only applies if you book directly via their website
- Breakfast is often considered overpriced (~€25) for the limited buffet; a la carte is better but adds up
- The hotel is in the Northern Quarter (Saint-Josse), which is a business district, not the historic center
Τι να πακετάρετε
- Your own coffee setup (Aeropress/V60) if you hate instant coffee
- Earplugs if you are a light sleeper (just in case you get a track-facing room)
- Uber/Bolt app installed—you will likely use it to get to dinner
Δαίμονας Δωματίου
Κορυφαίες επιλογές
- Roomy Corner: Best for panoramic city views and extra light
- Roomy Bath: Worth the upgrade for the freestanding tub with a view
Δωμάτια που πρέπει να αποφύγετε
- Shoebox rooms: Only suitable for solo travelers with minimal luggage
- Lower floor rooms facing the train tracks (ask for high floor, city view)
Δαίμονας Δωματίου – αντιγραφή & επικόλληση
“I would love a room on a high floor (15+) facing the city skyline rather than the train tracks to minimize noise. If available, a Roomy Corner would be fantastic.”
Συχνές ερωτήσεις & Κρυμμένες συμβουλές
Όλα όσα πραγματικά θέλεις να ξέρεις πριν κάνεις κράτηση.
Is the neighborhood safe?
During the day, it's a busy business district. At night, the area around Brussels-Nord station (5 mins away) gets sketchy. Take taxis/Ubers after dark rather than walking.
Is there a pool?
No, there is no pool. There is a rooftop bar and some rooms have bathtubs, but no swimming facilities.
Does the hotel have parking?
Not on-site, but the 'Indigo Victoria Regina' public garage is directly next door.
Is there a gym?
Yes, there is a basic 24-hour gym with cardio and weight machines.
How far is the Grand Place?
It's about a 20-minute walk or a quick metro/tram ride. The hotel is not in the historic center.
Are pets allowed?
Yes, very pet-friendly. Dogs stay free and get bowls/beds.
Εσωτερικές Συμβουλές
- ✨
Skip the hotel buffet and walk 10 mins to 'Wolf' food market for better variety and vibes.
- ✨
The 'Hox Shop' in the lobby sells beers and snacks at near-supermarket prices—much cheaper than a minibar.
- ✨
If you book direct, you can technically check in at 8am and check out at 11pm for free (subject to availability).
5 πράγματα που πρέπει να ξέρετε πριν φύγετε
💡The 'working from' lobby culture is intense; it can be hard to find a seat just to relax during the day.
💡The elevators can be slow during peak rooftop bar hours.
💡The 'city tax' is hefty (~€5.30/night) and charged on arrival.
💡The bathroom lighting is moody and dim—great for vibes, terrible for applying makeup.
💡You can hear the rumble of trains in the 'quiet' rooms if it's dead silent at night.
