Hotel Barry

Very traditional old hotel as I like them with an identity. Room was comfortable and clean. The reception was very welcoming and helpful. The hotel was well situated half way between Gare de Bruxelles-Midi et la Grand Place.

Room smelled like an ashtray. Felt like there was a smoker in the room everytime we came in. At the end on the trip on checkout day my partner's laptop got stolen inside the hotel. At the reception area where we kept our bags for a few hours while we wait on our bus out of brussels. He went back the next day to demand for the CCTV footage and he was conveniently told the cameras were not working. If you must stay here be very vigilant and watchful of your belongings.

The room was clean and the staff nice. But my room smelled like an ashtray.
After trying to get some fresh air into the room, I when to the lobby. They said they couldn’t give me another room. So I asked for a discount. Which they said they would consider at checkout.
And they refused to give me a discount at the checkout.
If it wasn’t for that I would have given four stars maybe even five. But come on guys. This is business 101. You don’t meet the clients expectation, you make amends.

I stayed there a few days and liked it overall. The room was quite small but I'm a small person so it was ok. It is well positioned close to Midi train station and very central. The room was cleaned daily and got given fresh towels. They have 24 hour reception and they are very friendly. I was very pleased that I could leave my suitcase at the reception after I had checked out as my train was due to departure late in the afternoon and I didn't want to wander around the city with my suitcase. Considering the hotel offers good value for money I would stay there again. Thanks!
