Reviews of B&B Loft Jamar Gare Du Midi

The Lady who looked after the property was very nice, MERCI

Spacious, lovely space, close to train station, well provisioned, helpful host.

Access difficulties, in rough area with uncollected rubbish on streets (not the fault of the B&B!), needs blinds in front room as was too bright to sleep.

Location

Communication, breakfast was a bread and jam in the fridge

Well thought out apartment. Very quiet. Found what I needed in the kitchen.

No privacy, curtains see through. Glass front door doesn't offer security I feel. Location is not one of the best in Brussels. Heating could have been turned on.

Don't get fooled by the apparent value for money, it is a nightmare, stay away!

I arrived after the official check-in time (15.00) to find the apartment as it was left by the previous tenant, sheets all over, breakfast on table and ion the sink, everything dirty, towels, bathroom, bed, etc. I contacted the owner and after a very difficult communication - poor language skills but also very poor responsiveness, he put me in contact with the cleaning lady, which let me know she has first to eat and then in will take an hour to get there. Long story short I could only 'enjoy' my stay after 18.00. I also contacted booking's CS about this issue and never got any response to this day - part of the score goes to them too. In the sleeping area at least but in fact all over there was a strong and very disturbing cigarette smoke that wouldn't let me sleep. The breakfast was a joke, better advertise the room with no breakfast included and spend 1.5 euros yourself to get what they provide as breakfast. After the stay I needed an invoice for my stay for my work and it was incredibly difficult to explain the owner what I needed, and he finally provided a joke of a paper filled with errors and not in the name of the employer I provided. Asked for a corrected one, never received.. What a nightmare of a stay, spare yourself the trouble!

It is very close to Brussels Midi so the location is good. The flat was within a complex where keys were needed to open first a gate and then the flatdoor so it felt very secure. It was quiet and any neighbours we bumped into were helpful when the lifts were out of order, showing us the stairs.

The lighs were awful, far too weak. The beds were pretty uncomfortable, especially if like me you have back issues. I had read some reviews regarding the "breakfast" and I now wholly agree with those- dry bread with marmalade, not to my liking. The lifts being out of order was a nuisance as I have mobility issues and so was struggling with the stairs :-(

The apartment is simply amazing, super big and well equiped. The location is also great if you want to be close to Brussels Midi, and it is walking distance to the center, never had to take bus/cab to visit around (although bus/metro station is really close as well). I would definitely choose the same place if I were to visit Brussels again. Also, the value for money is incredible.

Sylvain replied messages quickly; the room is full-equipped, i.e. hairdryer, laundry machine and dryer, microwave, TV, and so on.

Although receiving with the instruction, the room is not that easy to be found.

Good for stopover by train. Good cost benefit ratio. Very quiet despite because in backyard house. Would not expect when entering from the street. Pretty safe with two gates. Modern and very spacious apartment. Good staffed kitchen. Balcony. Single use. Close to alternative neighbourhood with some bars and coffee places and a very good bakery. Need a bit of good orientation and language skills to find the place.

It was okay,also the location was very good

Nothing

Nice apartment for short stay. Lovely bread for a breakfast. All you need is available.

Lift doesn't work. Quite hard access to the apartment. Road works everywhere, also beds are not very comfortable.

Very large , clean modern apartment, 5 minutes walk from Brussels Midi station. Comprehensive instructions provided to find the key and the apartment.

Would have appreciated a few written notes eg where to leave the key, what the 5 different rubbish bins are for, how to use TV etc. Breakfast was only a loaf of bread and jam left in the fridge.

So handy for the station.

Lots of trip hazards in the main building (not the flat itself). I have poor eyesight so difficult.

- Flat is well equipped, washing machine, dryer, fridge, oven, microwave.

- No breakfast, it's only jam and toast !! You can't sell the flat saying it's breakfast included. - I didn't feel safe because of the area around, thanks God nothing happened, but this is what I felt. - it's far from city centre. - all area around has a huge construction. - it's expensive comparing to what I got

The apartment was much bigger than I expected, it was enough for a family of 4 to accommodate easily (although I was alone)

Breakfast was announced but the contact person stopped communicating when I asked questions on what the breakfast arrangements were. So no breakfast in the end.

Great location, spacious
