Hotel Catalonia Forum - Brussels

9.4

This was the second time that I've stayed at the hotel and I still think that it's very good value and a good hotel for a short break. Its only problem is the location as it's a fair distance from both the city centre and Bruxelles-Midi rail station. There is a frequent tram service nearby that can be used to get to either place. Walking to and from the hotel is alright providing you know which way to go. I'd probably stay there again when next visiting Brussels.

7.1

The hotel is perfectly adequate for a short stay. It is rather far from the centre of Brussels, but there is a tram passing nearby. Strangely, it appears to be a Spanish provincial hotel that has been relocated in its entirety to Brussels. Not only is the interior architecture unmistakably Iberian, but even the welcoming cards on the tables read "Benvenido" in large letters, with French and English in smaller letters underneath; and the communal computer gives its instructions in Spanish. And all the staff I encountered are native speakers of Spanish, but with enough French and English to permit communication. There was a long queue at the desk to pay on the last day, so that I had to take a taxi rather than public transport to my work.

8.2

Nice hotel, not many restaurants close by. Reasonable value and reasonably sized room.

8.8

Es un buen hotel con empleados en la recepción que hablan español para los turistas que hablen este idioma. Esta ubicado cerca de una estación del tranvia.

7.0

To the center (by foot) 25 minutes To Forest National (by foot) 40 minutes

9.3

The only problem I had was that I booked 3 rooms at the hotel from airport, but needed only two rooms as the other person did not make to Brussels. At the check in I mentioned it and was agreed. At check out they charged me for 3 rooms on the basis of prior 72 hours cancellation policy, whereas I booked it in 2 hours earlier. I had to pay for a room never used. Maybe you can credit me for the future use.

4.4

They kept insisting we had breakfast and trying to charge us for breakfast on the last day. I did not find that amusing! They said they had records that we had breakfast when we had been no where near the breakfast room.

excellent..we are very satisfied! reccomended!

10

we only stayed one night but it was a great deal. Transporation was close...perhaps it would be nicer to stay closer to the center of town, but we found the shop keepers in the neighborhood were very helpful and kind.

9.5

This is my second time at Catalonia, I will definitely stay there next time I need to go to Brussels. Great place, well connected by public transport, reasonable prices (breakfast expensive, but you do not need to take it).

9.9

Stayed for just a weekend and the service was great, the room was really clean and spacious and staff were all very helpful. We asked for directions and were supplied with pretty good information and maps etc. Good location for gettin into the centre of Brussels. Fab price for what you get. Definately recommend! =D

7.9

- It should be better indicated that breakfast is not included in the price. - I have had dinner in the restaurant. I have had much better dinners in Brussels.

8.7

Price is very good for overall service. Isolation between room and corridor is not very good and a bit of noise from other rooms is there. Bar and restaurant are good but there are too smokers! Location is outside the center but well served with tram.

8.9

A place where I love to stay. That's why I'm always there!

9.5

great hotel

9.9

I will gladly call again on this hotel whenever I visit Brussels again.

8.0

Ottima sistemazione per visitare Bruxelles, infatti grazie alla efficente rete di trasporti (al costo di soli 4 euro due persone possono circolare liberante su tutti i mezzi pubblici della città), il centro è molto vicino da questo albergo. Pulito e decisamente ospitale. Lo consigliamo a tutti per un piacevole soggiorno a Bruxelles.

8.7

A beautiful hotel with the friendliest staff. The breakfast price was outrageous, especially when you consider that the buffet dinner was cheaper! This was the only fault with the beautiful hotel. There was a little noise in the corridors too that you could hear in the rooms. A lovely area, not far from the city itself and close to Louise and Stephanie - beautiful shops!

9.3

The Catalonia Forum made my visit to Brussels very convenient, pleasant, comfortable and affordable. CAJ

9.4

Clean, clean, clean! And close to great restaurants and bakery AND supermarket. We were so tired we spent the entire day in our room watching BBC and CNN in ENGLISH! It was a welcome respite in our long travels. I would return, only we would confirm with transport that the tram is working as expected.

9.2

really good quality at a very reasonable price. good value for money in one of the most beautiful residential areas of Brussels.

9.2

A very nice hotel, with good room design. Its draw back is that you need to take the tram, but it is often and in 10 min you are in the center. However, the overal region of Hotel has nothing special, but this is a general characteristic of Bruxelles, I think.

7.3

Quite, functional and well located hotel within central Brussels. Website should include a better indication on how to access the hotel from main entry points in Brussels (train stations, airport, etc.).

8.6

A little bit far away from the center of the city (strictly speaking) but well communicated by tram/metro. Good ratio price/quality, competent and well trained staff. Clean and recently renovated hotel.

6.9

If breakfast available would be appreciated.

9.4

The room and the bathroom are very large for the price. The map on the site is very bad : the hotel is not at 900m from the station Bruxelles-Midi but at 4 km. The price of the breakfast is very high but it is possible to have a good breakfast for less than 4 euros at the corner of Chaussée de Waterloo and Avenue Brugman near the tram stop.

8.9

Highly recommended. Modern and clean. Just no public internet access. Connection in the rooms, but no help to those without their own laptops.

9.9

Excellent hotel at a very convenient price.

8.2

I was surprised to find that breakfast was not included in the price. I had assumed that it was .

9.0

My overall stay in the Catalonia Hotel was excellent and I strongly recommend this hotel. The bedroom and bathroom were very spacious and very clean. The staff was very friendly and helpfull. Although the hotel is not in the city centre, it is fairly easy to get there using the tram.

7.8

We are quite happy to stay at this hotel,only one thing that we don't like is your personal smoke a lot in lobby.

9.8

As breakfast is not included, I recommend not to buy the brakfast service offered by the hotel but to go out and near the tram stop there's a very nice mini supermarket (with fresh fruit and vegetables). The internet service it quite expensive (22 Euros/day for LAN cable in the room, 5 Euros for WLAN in the hall). The room and the bathroom were much bigger than usual. Also the furniture/decoration was very nice (it's an art hotel!). I especially liked the special design table in the entrance hall (looks like a natural rock).

8.7

absolument excellent.

8.5

Professional handling of reservation changes at last minute, without extra charges - which has been aprreciated

7.6

It is a very nice place with an excellent realationship between price and quality.I would suggest it for a stay in Bruxelles

8.3

Estuvimos hace una semana en Bruselas y solo puedo decir QUE FUE GENIAL!! El hotel está muy bien, excelente relacion calidad / precio, Aunque no está en el centro de la ciudad, no es un problema, ya que está muy bien comunicado con el tranvia. Solo esta a unos 15min del centro. Además hablaban español!!! ya no se puede pedir más. Bruselas es una ciudad que merece la pena vistiar, pero si lo que quereis es un lugar lleno de encanto, BRUJAS!!! nunca veréis nada igual.....

9.9

Accueil impeccable, chambres soignées, tout près du tram(direct pour le centre ville),parking pas cher(12 euros pour le jour de votre arrivée et le lendemain inclus).Très bon rapport qualité prix! Hôtel à découvrir et à conseiller!

I spent 8 days travelling around france and belguim by train and stayed in 5 hotels ! But thought the catalonia hotel in brussels was a stunning hotel with a lovely balcony, fantastic bathroom facilities and very reasonably priced for such a nice hotel.

7.8

l'hotel è bello e le stanze sono curate e pulite. E' situato a 300 metri dalla fermata del tram numero 92 che porta in centro in circa 10 minuti.

9.9

The room was big and comfortable and the staff was very nice. Although the hotel is a little far from the centre of the city (about 20 minutes), it’s not difficult to get there: At the Gare du Midi, take the tram 81 or the 82, direction Montgomery, to Janson stop (ask the driver; it’s not easy the keep the track of the stops). When you get off at Janson stop, walk to the corresponding stop on the Chausée de Charleroi and take the tram 91 in direction Stalle or the tram 92 in direction Fort Jaco and get off in the next stop: Ma Campagne. When you get off the tram, keep walking in the same direction for about 100 metres, turn to left and there you have the hotel. If you are going to stay in the city for several days, it is convenient to buy a 10 travel ticket which costs 10 € (each travel costs 1,5 €). This ticket can be used in the whole transport system (bus, tram, metro). If I would returned to Brussels, I would look for this hotel again. La habitación era muy amplia y cómoda y el personal fue muy amable. En la recepción, todos hablaban español. Aunque está un poco retirado del Centro de la Ciudad (unos 20 minutos), no es difícil llegar allí: en la Gare du Midi, tome el tranvía 81 o el 82 en dirección Montgomery hasta la parada Janson (hay que preguntarle al conductor, pues no es fácil seguir la pista de las paradas). Al bajarse, ubíquese sobre la correspondiente parada en la calle Chausée de Charleroi y tome el tranvía 91 en dirección Stalle o el tranvía 92 en dirección Fort Jaco y bájese en la siguiente parada: Ma Campagne. Al bajarse, avance unos 100 metros, en el mismo sentido en que venía el tranvía, gire a la izquierda y ahí está el hotel. Si va a estar varios días en Bruselas, le conviene comprar un tiquete de 10 viajes, que le cuesta 10 euros (los tiquetes individuales cuestan 1,50 €), el cual puede utilizarse en todo el sistema de transporte (bus, tranvía, metro). Si volviera a Bruselas, regresaría a este hotel.

9.2

Excellent rapport qualité/prix pour Bruxelles. Pas si éloigné que cela du centre: trams et bus directs.

9.7

We stayed at the hotel at the weekend and found it excellent value for money. The hotel is a convenient 10 minute taxi ride from Brussels Midi rail station(8 euros - 2km)and an easy 12 minute tram ride to the central part of the city (no. 92 -every 20 minutes on Sunday am). The hotel staff were friendly and helpful and recommended a pleasant restaurant nearby (La Cigale) where we had a good yet inexpensive meal. We have no hesitation in recommending this hotel and would stay there again when in Brussels.

9.8

Excelente hotel Ideal para castellano parlante (todos los recepcionistas hablan castellano). Barrio muy agradable con facil aparcamiento. Immejorable relación calidad precio

8.6

Very good relationship between price/quality, nice and competent personnel, the location is not far away from downtown and the zone is pretty. All things considered, I was really fine and positevely impressed.

9.8

Really impressed. A quality hotel for a great price! A lovely surprise. I have paid far more for less before. The staff were really helpful too.

8.0

A bit difficult to find, especially if one arrives at night, but otherwise well-situated in a quiet quarter relatively near the town centre. Nice and clean with helpful staff. If you do not take breakfast at the hotel, there are nice cafés around

8.1

Tout c'est très bien passé, de l'accueil au départ. Seul petit hic : le petit déjeuner à 12,40 €, ce n'est pas un peu exagéré ? Nous avons préféré nous rassasier à "l'Atelier" à l'angle de l'avenue Brugmann et de la chaussée de Waterloo juste à la station de tram "Ma Campagne" (à 100m de l'hôtel). C'est un endroit très sympathique qui propose des formules intéressantes pour le petit déjeuner (nous avons également eu le loisir de goûter leurs sandwiches et patisseries maison ...). Mais ceci ne retire rien à la qualité de notre séjour au Catalonia Forum Art Hotel !

9.7

very well located, ratio quality price excellent

7.8

very nice hotel

9.2

A very nice nice 3 stars hotel, very easy to reach. Take tram # 91 or 92 from Louise and get off at Ma Campagne,then walk for about 100 meters and turn left. Breakfast is not included and coasts 12 € but there are some cafees near the tram stop, where you can pay much less. The room was clean, spacious and confortable. You are not far from the city- centre( it takes 10 minutes by tram), we reccommend this hotel as we were satisfied on price and services. We would surely come back again
