Craves was convenient to the train station. Walking with a roller-bag on the chunky rounded cobblestone of Belgium can be a workout if you have tendon issues. It was convenient to seeing the sights. The room was clean and comfortable and there was a big window in the bathroom, so it was bright (Bathrooms often have no window). Main complaint is the hallways were excessively dark -- enpough that it was hard to see. Staff was helpful enought when asked questions but not particularly warm and friendly. Coffee is at a central location near the elevator of each floor, not in the room. I was happy with my stay but it wasn't exceptional.

A pleasant stay at Craves.

We enjoyed our stay at Craves. The room accommodated our family of four. There was a large bed in a separate bedroom and a large pull out couch in the living room. The room showed a bit of wear though. A dining area with a kitchenette came in handy. The family suites are located actually across the street from the hotel in a historic building. The lift begins on the second floor so we had to carry our luggage up a flight of stairs. The hotel is located on a car free street so the taxi let us off two streets away. There are plenty of shops and restaurants right outside the hotel.

The main part of the hotel seemed lovely. The bar and decor was very nice. We were however really disappointed to not actually be staying in the main hotel, but an annex over the road, which we didn’t even realise was an option. The room was accessible only by very steep stairs. The room was again nicely presented but tiny. Felt it wasn’t worth the money we paid for it if I’m honest. Staff seemed nice enough but being in the annex we only saw them at check in. The location was the best thing about the hotel, especially for the Christmas market. If I’d known which room we’d have been in though, i would have booked somewhere else.

Stayed for 3 nights and it was great. Room was spotless, shower was powerful and hot. A brief 5-10 minute walk to the train station and can walk to everything. Grocery store, restaurants right on the street. Only one thing was the noise at night but when we arrived in our room there was earplugs left for us. If I were to go back to Brussels I’d definitely stay there again. Front staff was friendly and very helpful.

The property is different to you average hotel. The way it is styled is defintely unique and the small attention to details - like the welcome card and small local sweet each upon arrival was very cute. The bed was comfy and the room was spacious and it had a good shower. Although we didn't eat at the restaurant it was incredibly popular (with locals as well!) and the food looked delicious. The location is really perfect for all the central attractions but there is a word of caution here....this also means that it can be a bit noisy. If you are a light sleeper then maybe this is not the place for you. Overall it was a really nice stay
