MEININGER Hotel Bruxelles City Center

Pretty good location. we were in Brussels just for one day and during that day we were able to go to hostel and city centre several times. good customer service with smiley faces. decent breakfast. cute and lovely place. I would stay there again for sure!

My stay in a 6 bed female room was amazing! The room was hotel quality with a nice bathroom en suite. The shower water pressure and temperature were wonderful. The beds were comfortable, individual bed lights were nice, the lockers were spacious, and there was plenty of space for 6 adults in the room. Fresh towels were provided every day and the beds were turned down as well. This is the second nicest hostel I’ve stayed in while traveling around Europe. One suggestion for improvement is to have more hooks to hang coats and towels from in the room. One thing to note is that the hostel is not located in the city center despite its name. It’s a 20 minute walk from the center. I’d definitely recommend this hostel, and I’d stay again!

The rooms were big enough, for space for everyone to be in the room. The facilities were always clean, and the personnel were amazing. I loved the environment they create at night at the bar, since it gives you opportunity to socialize with other people. Really well located.

I stayed for 2 nights in a mixed dormitory. The rooms were regularly clean and also the place opened up opportunities to meet new people.
They have a cafe with breakfast and a bar with authentic Belgian beer next to reception. The games room was also well equipped and fun to hang out with.

Will recommend solo travellers as it is a great opportunity to meet new people and groups!

Very good experience. All the staff were so friendly and attentive, especially staff at breakfast room, reception and housekeeping. My room was very bright and large size, windows were totally sound proof and equipped with black out curtains and blinds to provide very good sleeping experience. All areas including public areas and my room were clean and tidy. The location was so convenient, close to the city center and also accessible to the public transportation. Breakfast was good enough for it’s price and you can have all the basic needs. There’s no mini fridge or tea/coffee maker in the rooms but wasn’t really big deal as you can have drinks at the public areas of the hotel. I didn’t use the public areas that much but in a very quick look, it was fine. Beds were quite comfortable but the pillows were too soft for me but it’s something really depends on personal taste. Due to all positive points I saw in the hotel, I extended my stay for one more night to enjoy the hotel vibe more.

Overall our experience was pleasant. The rooms were big and clean. Shared spaces were nice as well. The front desk staff deserves a raise, they were super helpful with recommendations and extremely friendly. Would be more useful if the kitchen had an additional stovetop for cooking, the kitchen got pretty crowded.

Meningier Central offers both cozy Hostel rooms (from 4 to 12 beds) and normal hotel rooms. The place is in a good position, 5-10 minutes from the nearest metro station and with many bus stops nearby. The hotel itself looks new and is decorated in a typical pop style. In the common rooms, there is plenty space to sit and walk around. They also offer luggage accommodation and a small kitchen to cook breakfast and so on. The 6 person room was very clean, beds were wide and comfortable, sheets and bedcovers were clean. The hostel also offers towels (wide and small) for free, and changes them every day, which is very good. Shower and toilet were well kept, and warm water was no issue. All in all a wonderful experience, we will definitely come here again. Great job!

I stayed 2 nights and I cant complain! The rooms were clean, the breakfast was plenty and tasty. A little bit far from the center tho

In the city center, close to everything. Really convenient
I stayed in a mixed 10 beds dormitory en-suite, the room was big and showers with amazing temperature and water pressure.
The staff was helpful and friendly.

The only thing that could improve is the bunk bed could have some curtains for more privacy and comfort but overall I recommend it.

Great hostel, in a good location. Was very clean and had accommodating staff. Only complaint is that locks are not provided and are sold in the vending machine for €9 but staff informed me that there was a grocery store 5 min walk away that sold them for cheaper.

Between Christmas and New Year we stayed in the Meininger hotel Brussels city for 2 nights. ( 2 adults + 2 kids ) Everything went fine, a quick check-in, friendly & helpfull staff, a nice and clean room just like advertised. The rooms are very practical, a storage closet, a bathroom sink with mirror and hair-dryer, a separate shower and a separate toilet. ( comes handy when staying with kids ). We also had breakfast in the hotel, which was fine ( pretty basic but still enough choice and everything tasted good ). Also the location was good for visiting the city center of Brussels, just a 10 min. walk. from a lot of interesting spots and a tram station within 100m. I'm considering to book at Meininger again next summer. Recommended!

The stay was very great , Everything is very clear and smooth when it goes to the check in process , the actual rooms were very clean and equipped with most of what you actually need ( shampoo , towels and hair dryer )

The design of the place is very modern with an industrial vibe.

Highly recommended and totally reasonable pricing.

Didn't expect it. The rooms were clean super clean, spacious, beds were comfortable, (didn't like the pillow).
The room needs a window to open or an Air conditioning unit as the room becomes hot while sleeping.
I deal for big groups, small groups, couples plus for solo travellers.
The pricing is very good.
For the hotel keep the prices down, you are sharing rooms with other travellers.
You can rent your own room, if available.
They provide your own towels, sharing shampoo/shower gel in the bathroom.
Kitchen available on site to cook of you are eating in or cooking.
Location is perfect. 10minutes walking distance from the Grand Place. Between 5-10 minutes walking distance for restaurants.
Public buses are outside the hotel.
Would stay again

My friend and I are both girls who decided to book the 10-person room opting to not go with the all-female option. Our room ended up only having 6 beds, with two sets of bunk beds and then two twin beds right next to each other. When I say right next to each other, I mean there was maybe an inch so I was sleeping very close to this random guy but surprisingly it wasn't that weird and I felt pretty safe. My friend and I got there late so we weren't able to pick our beds so defintely if you care about sleeping close by you should get there earlier than later (it also depends on how long the other people in your room have been there for). Additionally, my friend and I got lucky in that we were in the same room (there were no guarantees). In general, I think if I stayed there by myself I would select the all-women dorm although I felt pretty safe with the men in there. In terms of theft, there are lockers for rent in the community area which are 5 euro for 24 hours for the small lockers and I believe 7 for 24h for the big lockers. My friend and I were able to put both of our fairly large backpacks in one small locker. Additionally, there were cupboards in the room with handles that could fit a personal lock if you wanted to lock your stuff inside. The bedding and room in general seemed very clean and we were given a hand and bath towel. There was a separate area for the sink, and then a small room with a shower and a small room with the toilet. Overall everything was good and my friend and I had a good experience.

Trendy hotel with a room to share with 3 other guests. It’s a good way to meet people and make friends. I really enjoyed it here, it’s only half an hour to walk to Grand Place, very cosy.

An absolutely outstanding hostel - the best hostel I stayed in during my whole Eurotrip last summer; It’s honestly more like an actual hotel than a hostel. It is clean, modern and equipped with a nice bar and arcade upstairs along with a kitchen. The rooms were absolutely top notch with a personal bathroom and towels provided in each. The best part was the fact that not all of the beds were bunk beds. Depending on how many beds are in the room, some of them are single beds separated from each other, giving more personal space and that hotel feeling which you don’t get in most other hostels. The only minor drawback to this hostel/hotel is that the laundry (which is literally just a washing machine and dryer inside a closet) is situated in the kitchen where there are usually about ten people all crowded around in at once and the damn thing wouldn’t even work with the app that you are required to download prior to usage. Even the staff member who tried to help me couldn’t figure it out. So I had to take my clothes in a bag to this little but efficient laundromat downtown which wasn’t too far and wasn’t that big of a deal but still. For a fancy hotel-like hostel, that’s something which could and should be improved. But don’t let that stop you from staying here if you’re planning on visiting Brussels. You won’t find much better than this 👍🏼👍🏼

Cleanliness was perfect, staff very polite and friendly, hotel facilities are also very good, this hotel is definitely best option to choose for budget travel. Thank you! Also need to take a special mention to the guys at the reception, they are very polite and gave us recommendations, thanks for the help and your kindness!

As this was my first time in a Hostel, I have to say that it was a good experience.
The place is very big and very spacious, and it has all that everyone needs. The rooms are spacious and contain all that you need, such as bath showers, towels, toilet paper etc. the rooms are also very clean and very nice.
The place is very lively and there is always someone at the reception, as it is 24 hours and all the receptionists are incredibly nice and readily available. Have to say that I recommend this place; 10/10!
Well done Guys!
Made me enjoy my stay!

Couldn't recommend this place more! So clean (exactly how the pictures showed). Beds were SOO comfortable and clean. Great atmosphere. Nice bar downstairs (with live band). Great kitchen if you wanted to cook. And best of all, 10 minute walk to the heart of the city and (30 min walk to the airport/train)!!!

The hostel provides well-maintained and tidy rooms. The communal space is not only spacious but also aesthetically pleasing. The service offered was exceptional.
