Waasland, Flemish Region hotel rooms at the Independent

"Great staff Awesome lobby bar Roof top staff can do better Property is in great shape Walkable to downtown Brussels Highly recommend "

"The room and bed are pretty big. "

"Clean! Quiet! Comfortable beds! Great location to the airport! Grocery store close by! "

"Room was not ready on time due to large convention occuring at hotel the same day, so the reception offered to hold luggage and granted lounge access while we waited. However, no one was in the lounge (employee) when we arrived and there wasn't any direction on potential restroom available or other perks available in the lounge. While it was great that reception came up to lounge to hand out keycards once room was ready (only about 30 min wait) it was slightly disheartening to find out that our bags weren't in our room awaiting us and that we would need to go back down to reception to obtain them again. Would have been a nice feature to have to just go straight to room and bags be there or delivered shortly thereafter. Also, the room, while a 'junior suite' appeared to be laid out like a larger suite that was just blocked off with doors to other areas and the layout seemed poorly thought out (for example, table and chairs to eat, but no kitchenette or microwave/fridge to store food). Was extremely convenient to walk across small plaza and be at the airport for AM flight, though."

"Room was clean and comfortable. Good basic hotel, well situated."

"It’s one of the most beautiful hotels I’ve stayed at anywhere and I liked the ambiance of the hotel along with spaciousness of the suite we stayed at, it was very nicely designed also but unfortunately the suite had a sewage smell in it! The moment we entered the suite the smell was there and nothing could be done about it since we only had room for one night & hotel was completely booked! "

"Great staff. Clean room. Will stay here again!"

"The shuttle only runs early morning and late afternoon and evening. No information for users who arrive outside those hours. We paid 40 euros for a taxi to the hotel...should have info for users accessing the hotel outside shuttle hours."

"Great location for exploring the city and train station by walking - however that is the only good thing, the rooms stank not sure if it was because of pipework. I was given a room on the ground floor and the massive window faces onto a busy street. Zero privacy and no nets so had to keep the curtains drawn permanently and felt like a prison (perhaps you should reconsider this…)"
