I stayed here with colleagues 3 times in 8 days. The first visit I was greeted by a most friendly, understanding, humorous and friendly man who could not have made the process any better. The second visit the man hadn't a smile or any warmth in his greeting. The third time possibly due to my colleague and I trying to discuss that we didn't like having to run the gauntlet of smokers outside the only entrance and it being enclosed on 3 sides we were met with distain, sarcasm, sideways looks between colleagues and frank rudeness. There was no attempt to even try to apologise, quiet the opposite in fact being told that ”it's outside so doesn't matter!” Customer service needs attention. Rooms clean, needs comfy, breakfast adequate. Restaurant available in the next door Ibis standard hotel. Staff here very pleasant. Food below average. Position was great for our needs. Plenty of car parking. Pay at reception for parking of you require a receipt otherwise the barrier doesn't give you one and you have to go back to reception to request one to be emailed to you.

We had been on a coach trip all around Europe, and stayed at this ”hotel” on our way back to Calais. I can honestly say it was the worst place I have ever stayed in. It was dark, and dingy, no decent lighting. We arrived about 8pm, all hungry, and we had a choice of 2 stews or pizza. The room was so tiny, we could not put 2 cases anywhere, I ended up putting mine by the door, which, really, would have been a fire hazard, as you couldn't get to the door in an emergency. The curtains were hanging off the rail, the pictures were all crooked, walls were thin, and we could hear everything our neighbours were saying. No tea or coffee in the room. One of our group, their room wasn't even ready, it was disgusting. Breakfast was awful, just ”continental”. The ”hot” water for tea, was luke warm. Could not use. The toaster didn't work properly and the staff ended up taking it away! As said before, the lighting was practically non-existent, could not see what you were eating. Coach companies - DO NOT USE THIS PLACE. It put a really damper on our otherwise great holiday. In the morning, our drivers ended up collecting all the cases from the rooms because ”the porterage person” hadn't turned up that day!!

Arrived very late on a coach trip no meal but after a long day just wanted to sleep , cases brought to our room ,bath and a shower lovely hot water , comfortable bed plenty off room kettle coffee but no English tea or sugar , breakfast next morning good but once’s age could have been hotter no English tea at breakfast.

This was the second time this year that we have decided to stay at the Sheraton Airport prior to our return trip home. While the hotel is overpriced it is so convenient for departure and it eliminates the anxiety regarding taxi or transit strikes (something that seems to be a cultural event). The hotel offers great service; friendly and efficient check in and checkout, good response to requests (extra towels), etc. While it seems to be appearing “a little tired” (light bulbs flickering, some new paint required) I have found it to be clean, comfortable and has the hottest water I have experienced anywhere in the world. Gullivers restaurant has adequate service and food although the wait time for meals in the evening can be a test of patience. Breakfast is much quicker and if you wish the breakfast buffet, it is complete and well presented. The coffee we had there both times was the best we have had anywhere during our past month in Belgium! Regarding the waiters in the evening (January 2nd) I must say the women staff and one man (I believe his name was Driss) were the ones doing the work. They constantly circulated the areas and responded to guest requests and needs, the other men just took up space. I had to mention this because it was just so obvious.

We really liked the hotel itself and it was all newly renovated and looked good and was tidy, both lobby, stairway/elevator and room. The room was big but with basic interior, like nightstands were stools from Ikea. There was no refrigerator which was inconvenient in the heat. The hotel is rather close to the city center and only takes about 10 minutes to walk to the city center, however the hotel seems to be located in a sketchy neighbourhood and not many tourists in the area. We were recommended by locals to take a taxi/uber back to the hotel during the nights.

A modern clean hotel with very friendly and professional staff. Breakfast good selection. Our room was of adequate size, light and airy, although the shower was in the bath rather than a walk-in shower. Bed was comfortable. Unfortunately the air con wasn't working (presumably switched off). It was not possible to open the window by more than half an inch. This didn't really let in much air at all but greatly increased the traffic noise. We were only there for one night, so managed. We must mention staff member Nico who came to our rescue following a mishap on our arrival. Would recommend hotel.

Fantastic hotel, central and easy access... the only one but we could not use the wellness space because it was full booked, they could give priority to the hotel guests, for the rest, all right

The hotel breakfast is good, the dinner is average, not recommended, there is no lunch, and there is no restaurant nearby, it is recommended to come back after eating in the city. About shuttle bus. Go down to the 1st floor, zone E, wait for the shuttle bus, and the timetable will be attached. I didn't wait, I took a taxi directly, and it was in the early 10 euros, which was acceptable. It's not easy to take a taxi nearby, there is 272 when you go out, swipe your credit card when you get on the bus, and transfer to the subway after 272 when you get to the city, you can go to many places. There are 471 and 282 nearby. Use Google Maps to look at the time. The traffic is convenient, but it is troublesome. I can go to big supermarkets such as Carrefour after reloading the car twice, and I can also buy something back to the hotel to eat by myself.

The hotel is about 5-6 minutes drive from Brussels Airport. The hotel environment is general, but free parking is available at the door. Next to the hotel is the train track, the noise is relatively loud, and the sound of the plane taking off and landing is relatively loud. The hot water is OK, and the sleep is OK.

I was there only one night to catch my next flight the following day. Room was clean and comfortable. Service was good. Nothing else accessible in the area. So, you go the in the same situation I was.
