Orchimont Vacations from ￥159,528

The Gothic dark industrial interior loco was very cool

Good location, a few minutes walk from the center, and from the Train station. Rooms have nice high ceilings, very comfortable beds, fridge, coffee maker, and a safe. Very comfortable. No front desk or key, access is by code for the front door and room… still getting used to that set up. No issues, good experience.

Property was difficult to find.

This is a good option if you have a late arrival or early departure to/from Bruxelles Midi, as I did; being able to walk to the Eurostar terminal in six minutes is a great advantage. And the room was very comfortable. But aside from the location I booked here for the kitchenette as I like to self cater. But it’s not properly set up for self catering. I can’t comment on the microwave/grill thing because I didn’t try to use it. The hob was fine once I eventually worked out how to use it - an instruction manual would have been very helpful. But the worst thing was the lack of appropriate kitchen tools: the only sharp knife provided was a serrated bread knife, which is useless for cutting meat or vegetables. And a cooking spoon would have been much appreciated. If you’re marketing self catering facilities you really do need to deliver the tools to do the job.
