Independent Scheldeland hotels

"We spent a long weekend at Yooma Urban Lodge in Brussels and enjoyed it very much. The hotel is very conveniently located close to the Gare du Midi / Brussel-Zuid station and not too far from the Grand-Place, Manneken Pis and other tourist attractions. The hotel itself is, of course, cartoon-themed and each room has its own 'character' identity. It is novel and fun! Breakfasts were good. There is a pool table and a sauna (which we did not try out) and a little shop selling cartoon-related items. The service was very good: friendly and helpful staff. The room was spacious, clean, quiet and well-equipped. In conclusion, I would recommend Yooma Urban Lodge for couples and families."

"Really good all round, only thing to note is after the initial in room coffee is used there is a €1 fee to replenish the capsules"

"Staff was very helpful and nice. Property is clean. Space was tight for 4 persons but it did the job. Liked the room division although we were four in one room there was privacy nonetheless in the shower and the toilet areas. The mattress and pillows were very confortable and clean, but the top bed of the banker beds had a broken fence which made caused an injury when the person was coming down and it was not easy in general to go up and down so be aware if you're planning to choose that type of bed. Also you could easily get a head hit by the top bed corner if you don't pay extra attention to it. Also expect a relatively long wait time to get the elevator as there is only one serving the building. Price was reasonable and location is at the heart of where you would need to be to visit the city. A downside is the rocky road leading to the place on foot; since the path isn’t paved, it’s better to use a car or public transport to get as close as possible and make it easier with your carry-on."

"We arrived late at night from the Eurostar and the hotel is a very short walk from the terminal - no need to even leave the station. Very comfortable hotel with efficient friendly staff. Not the nicest part of town but centre accessible by metro - or about 25 min walk"

"Staff was helpful and friendly. "

"Good central location. Good value. "

"The room was brilliant, location is great and closer to central Brussels than we realised"

"Excellent "

"We got to hotel 3 hrs early and were hoping to just leave luggage until check in time, but were able to check in to room early. Had good priced drinks at bar that evening and also had a couple of pizzas were great for the price. Rooms were clean and comfortable breakfast was good value for money with a good enough spread. We stayed there just for one night on our way from Bruges to Paris and couldn’t get a better location literally across the road from the train station. All staff were amazing to deal with will definitely stay again"
