Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Hotel Du Congres is often praised for its convenient location, making it easy to walk to the Grand Place and other attractions within 15-20 minutes, also close to the Royal Circus. Guests appreciate the clean, spacious rooms some even having an internal garden view, with amenities like kettles and espresso makers for added comfort. The breakfast is considered a great deal, though some guests have noted the portable air conditioning units as a less ideal feature. many find it to be very good value for money, especially with its proximity to public transport.

The room felt cramped. the window barely opened. The stuffiness became unbearable. it was like trying to sleep in a poorly ventilated box. plus, the bathroom looked rather tired with cracked tiles. It wasn't exactly inviting. 'the staff was friendly! but the wi-fi was slow.
