Ibis Budget Brussels South Ruisbroek

“Good price, standard ibis, under 10 minutes from train”

It's less than 10 minutes' walk from Ruisbroek station, which is on the S2 line just 2 stops from Midi station.

It's less than 10 minutes' walk from Ruisbroek station, which is on the S2 line just 2 stops from Midi station. There is a Carrefour Express supermarket right outside the station if you need some pastries, snacks, and drinks. The room is like a standard ibis - functional and reasonably spacious. The room was clean although some scruff marks where the wall meets the floor show their age. Windows can open and the heating was strong! Strangely, my room's lights turn on automatically during the night even after I had turned them off, but otherwise I had a very pleasant stay and saved a bit of money while not being too far from Brussels. If you want to head to Ghent or Bruges for a day trip, you can buy a single ticket from Ruisbroek to either city on the Belgian railways website. To get into Brussels, you can buy a Brupass XL which allows unlimited travel for an hour after activation, which includes the metro and buses.

“Just OK for one night”

We chose this hotel for its location, convenient for our driving route. It's OK for one night. I have stayed in many Ibis Budget hotels, so I know what to expect, and the hard product here feels well below the brand's normal standard. I think it's just old and needs a complete refit.

We chose this hotel for its location, convenient for our driving route. It's OK for one night. I have stayed in many Ibis Budget hotels, so I know what to expect, and the hard product here feels well below the brand's normal standard. I think it's just old and needs a complete refit. The drain smell in the room didn't help. On the positive side, staff are friendly, and the breakfast was as it should be.

So it is what is says on the can basically, I is budget. The best way to describe it is good standard student accommodation. The hotel is 2 stops away from Brussels Midi and from the train station a maximum 5 minutes walk - very convenient. However it's worth noting the trains are c. Every half an hour and not 24 hours a day. The Uber then becomes a necessity to/from Brussels. Upon checking on the receptionist was very nice and efficient. To the right of reception is the breakfast room and to the left a coffee machine and some purchasable food/drink items. En-route to the room it is evident this hotel is very tired and budget. I would imagine the hotel does not see such profits from its rates to justify a refurb. Now to be clear the room was very comfortable and clean, it's just basic. There is nothing about it that is mid level or luxury but for those on a budget it is ideal!
