Good value for money
This hotel is well located - a 15 minute (albeit sketchy) walk from Brussels Nord train station. It was good price for money in the sense that it wasn't too expensive for a decent property. The room was clean and serviceable. The staff was great!

The reception staff were very helpful and informative.
The room was really clean & comfortable. Would be good if tea & coffee making facilities were available in the rooms.
Hotel located just 5 minutes walk from Kruidtuin Metro station.

At check in, receptionist (Kaan) was so kind and helpful. Staff was fine during the stay. Room is clean, effective and warm. Location is very good near Botanique and 20m from Gillon tram station.It’s something minor but for me the bed could be a little better. Price is acceptable.

The property had a comfortable, good sized double bed, with nice memory foam pillows. The shower was excellent with good pressure and hot water which can be lacking at some cheaper hotels. There was a shop just outside the entrance which was convenient. The surrounding area was sketchy, and the walk from the north station was not family friendly. the windows were not remotely soundproof and there were trams passing all night which made for a rough nights sleep. Overall did what it needed to do, a place to sleep and shower but wouldn’t recommend to a friend.

I was sent to a second building of the Hotel Retro into the rook 502. Which is fine as a standard. But nobody warned me that there is no lift up to the 5th floor. It ends on the fourth floor then you have to walk up taking narrow wooden stairs with your bag.

Retro Hotel provides value for money hotel accommodation, small rooms with a comfortable bathroom. A bit more attention to the housekeeping could improve the service quality

Cheap. But the location of the hotel felt unsafe. Bathroom light wasnt working. No double lock on the doors made me feel uneasy about the hotel. Good for the price but not my ideal stay feeling unsafe
