Good position close to metro station Botanique, walking distance from city center (30min walk through shopping streets). Room is not too spacious but has a very comfortable bed, bathroom is larger and with a very nice shower. Good breakfast even if selection of salty is pretty limited. All in all a good value for money

A bit run down facilities. Not much area space in the bathrooms for setting items on. An overabundance of lamps taking up the nightstands. Stained towels. Location was alright for the price but would probably reconsider paying a bit more for something else in the future. Friendly staff though.

6/10 Good

Was in a good location with a lot of restaurants and a supermarket underneath. The Grand Place is just a 20min walk away which did not bother us a lot, as we got to explore the city on foot. The host, an old man was really welcoming. There was free coffee and fruit to take all the time. We were very happy about that. The bathroom was abit unconveniently designed, the shower head and no platform to keep my toileteries. Overall a good stay for a night

I would definitely love to stay here again! The staff were incredibly welcoming and accommodating throughout my stay. I wasn’t expecting room service, so it was a pleasant surprise to return from a long day of sightseeing to find my bed made and the room spotless. Not many hotels offer this kind of service anymore, and I really appreciated the extra care. I will be recommending this hotel to friends and family. Thank you Hotel Retro Staff!

The reception staff were very helpful and informative. The room was really clean & comfortable. Would be good if tea & coffee making facilities were available in the rooms. Hotel located just 5 minutes walk from Kruidtuin Metro station.

Lovely place to stay, staff were friendly and helpful. The only downside is that it was quite noisy, the doors are heavy to shut and this sound travelled, especially at night. The building next door were load and the windows/ walls didn't keep out much noise, with shouting/ singing and sirens from the road coming through. but all in all a lovely place to stay!

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!

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.

Retro Hotel provides value for money hotel accommodation, small rooms with a comfortable bathroom. A bit more attention to the housekeeping could improve the service quality

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.

Uphill from the train station. The hotel area felt safe, and walkable. Nice hotel, high off the floor showers though, if you are older or disabled not the best. Train station area a little sketchy.

6/10 Good

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.
