Scandinavia Hotel

On arrival to the area where the hotel is situated, it appears to be just a slightly run down part of town. This area is actually a poorer part of Brussels with nothing more than a couple of local food shops and one or two bars.
During the day there are a lot of different people from all cultures & origins walking up and down the streets. But on one evening, we were in a taxi coming back to the hotel & there was huge gangs of male teens & 20 somethings hanging around. One house was surrounded by police & barricaded off. It was actually very scary! Not a sight welcomed on holiday :(!!
The area is not a place to walk about on your own. Especially NOT at NIGHT! I went with my Mam (in her late 60’s) who also thought this area was AWFUL.
The hotel was fine, although the staff could have been friendlier! The towels were changed everyday & the beds were made up but the rooms were not cleaned & they didnt stock up soap or loo roll. This place would only be recommended if you are on an EXTREMLEY tight budget.
I personally would not stay here again.
