Reviews of Auberge des 3 Fontaines

It was very warm and the windows were locked to a small sliver. Also quite noisy.

price and value is great, simple but comfortable and in a great location. Everything you need for a stay.

I left the window open for air and the teams playing sports were a little loud outside at night, but you don't hear the big road at all. It was hard to find the actual hotel and the parking is not labeled well.

room, bathroom, shower

no fridge

Quiet by night place, early bird singing, free of charge parking.

The restaurant served very poor burgers, also the breakfast was poor.

The cheapest place in Brussels.

During the busy days parking spots are very limited.

Spacious rooms and bathroom. Ideal for big groups of people, like a large family or a friend's group, a sports group etc. It's clean and not overly expensive for Brussels. The rooms are furnished with bunk beds, comfortable enough. The bathrooms have stalls, ours had 2 toilets and 3 showers, so no one is queuing to shower. The hallways are large and roomy, so groups with lots of equipment are comfortable. We had no breakfast there. There is a vending machine at the ground level (which is level 2 on the elevator) for any snacks after hours.

By no means does this place enter the usual definition of an "auberge", but for the fact that it's a place to sleep. The whole place feels like the locker room of a secondary school or a local gym. It is indeed a sports sleeping facility. The fire-protecting hallways and very heavy doors make it all feel and look like a giant maze, and while it's supposed to be reassuring, it actually feels scary. The ground floor level is actually level 2 on the elevator, but we had to find out on our own; it's not indicated. The lounge area is a table and narrow chairs (a bigger adult does not fit) with a vending machine behind. Access to the parking place is complicated; it's not signalled on the street, so anyone coming by car ends up going round and round the place until spotting an entry. The parking itself is small, and parking on the street is limited to 2 hours with a blue disk. The person who checked us in was tired or in a bad mood, as he could not spare a kind look or a smile, even when we said we had trouble finding them, just spouting his instructions for accessing the room and checkout like a drill sergeant. Fitting, as it is a sports centre. However, nowhere does it say that visitors must be coming for a sports event, and since this is on Booking, it is open to the general public. A kinder welcome would have been nice. He repeated insistently that without exception or delay, we had to be gone before 10 am because they needed the room, as if we did not understand what a checkout time is. I suppose their usual rowdy groups of kids coming to sports events have trouble following instructions. It must be tiring, we get it. We left as soon as possible in the morning, with no regrets about leaving the place.

The place is quite distant from the metro terminus at Hermann-Debroux, but there was a bus stop right in front. It is busy with young people performing sports as well as with visitors of different ages staying at the Auberge. I really liked that my room was very spacious and despite being very near the motorway it was absolutely quiet since the auberge itself is situated in a park behind the sports centre itself. The room was perfectly clean and the bed was comfortable, the wifi worked well.

Occasional noise from other guests, but that is to be understood in a place teeming with youth. What I did not like was the absence of hot drinks machine. It was impossible to have a coffee in the morning (before the cafeteria opened).

For a basic hotel the rooms were very clean and the mattress very comfortable. The receptionist was very helpful and had a great sense of humour. All the staff I met were very helpful.

The long corridors with lights going on only when walking through them. If I had been on my own I would have felt apprehensive going back to my room alone .

We were accommodated late at night, after the reception closed.

It was dirty. The toilet is very dirty, it has traces of previous residents everywhere. As if it hadn't been washed for a very long time.

The hotel boasts a desirable location and pleasant staff, with a convenient self-service breakfast. While the beds were acceptable, comfort could be improved. The room's heating system lacked individual temperature control, resulting in a chilly overnight experience. The wardrobes and bedside cabinets showed signs of age, though the overall cleanliness was satisfactory, although not impeccable, as some yellow stains were noted on the bed linens. The reception staff provided thorough explanations, though their demeanor was somewhat formal and lacked warmth.

Everything was quite good overall.

Well organised property. BUT. long way from central area plus 1 Kilometres. of walking...to hostel..from train. station Very clean .

Just because have parking

Very bad, I'm not expected be like that . Smelling very bad on the hallway, the toilet bad, all in the room was old . I'm not come back never here ,and I will not recomand to someone.

Excellent sports facilities, excellent location in a safe area not too far from the city with parking and a bus connection outside. (Transport and tickets could be made a lot clearer in Brussels and with less hidden charges)

The bed sheets could have been a lot cleaner (there was a fair amount of hair) I had a double room booked for one person it was not possible to book a single. A friend joined me for one night and I declared it when checking in, in case there was additional tax to pay. I believe they charged for an extra night which was a lot more than if I had booked the same room for 2 people for 2 nights.
