The room was very pleasant. Super comfortable beds! Very clean and quiet. I was not expecting shuttle to airport to be outside by the curb, no shelter. Their breakfast was delightful. 😊

Simple but comfy hotel. Selected hotel due to early shuttle availability as there is a shuttle at 4:40am to the airport. Bed and pillows were comfy, spacious room, with iron and drier. A restaurant for a quick meal . It is good for an overnight stay for an early flight. I think the shuttle is available only in the am and evening, please check.

Convenience to the airport via shuttle is misleading, waiting at the airport for a pickup after 12 hr flight, is hopeless, end up spending 20 eu on taxi. Hotel never responded to emails of schedule, making it unnecessarily stressful, better off catching train and staying central. There is no retail or food places in corporate estate. I paid 15 eu for what swear was a heated up frozen supermarket pizza, keep looking is my advice.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort
For the price I paid, I really didn’t expect this kind of room. The bathroom had mold, and the room itself was extremely small and uncomfortable — just bare cement floors, nothing cozy about it. I gave 3 stars only because of the hotel’s shuttle service, but even that was disappointing. They don’t follow their own schedule. On October 25th, we waited in the freezing cold from 7:05 until 7:48, while other shuttles came every 10 minutes. Absolutely ridiculous.

Rooms are OK. Restaurant has very limited menu and quality was not great. Breakfast is ok Shuttle comes only every 45 minutes and picks up/drops off at the same time. It was so crowded that some people, who got on the shuttle at the hotel before mine, had to get out of the bus with their luggage to allow me to disembark at my hotel. Other hotels I previously stayed at around BRU, had one shuttle to drop off people going in one direction while another shuttle was going in the other direction to pick up people. It was much easier and more convenient !

Limited hours which isn’t listed .. public bus when exit you must climb a huge hill and through a business parking area (Steep) and last morning shuttle is 9:20 am not good … overcrowded and unsafe. Disappointed as Holiday Inns are usually customer friendly. The building was nice newer … and confortable room

Beware about the free shuttle service. I wasn’t able to use this because of limited availability. Before booking, check the schedule first as there’s no service from 9am to 5pm. It says in Expedia ‘Includes airport transportation’. This is misleading!
