Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The receptionist was courteous and professional. However, after 11pm I couldn't get entry to the facility due to door key not working. Just fortunate to have a guess walking in the hallway to open the back door in a very cold weather. No one can be reached after 11pm.Plan your stay accordingly

Great value.
Nice little hotel and fantastic value for the Brussels area. Very friendly staff and the free parking was a bonus. No air conditioning, so a couple evenings were a bit warm. Breakfast was solid, continental plus eggs to order. Enjoyed my 7 day stay!

Ok value for money
Hotel staff had received my booking but neglected to enter it in to their manual system so I was told the hotel is full and there's nothing they can do. After a quarter of an hour of confusion and phonecalls they gave me a spare room which was spacious and nice. Overall, ignoring the unpleasant check in, the hotel is quite ok for crashing in for a few hours before flight. Considering the price range of the area, Hobbit is decent value for money.

Clean room, confusing experience to get inside
When booking they room website asked to inform if arriving later. However later check out was not possible at all. Luckily we have family living in Brussels, who were able to do the check in. When arriving to the hotel during night the door didn't work with our key, it was somehow stucked. Lucky for us there was one couple inside who were able to get the door open, after many failed attempts. Room itself was nice, clean and comfy, but getting inside the room was a mess. Breakfast was ok. I could stay again if my flight would arrive at a time when there's actually some staff at the hotel as well

Good value, no airport shuttle
Friendly check-in and front desk staff. Airport shuttle is advertised but apparently hasn't been available for some time. Close to a bus stop though. Quiet neighborhood, about a 5 minute walk to a couple of grocery stores. For car buffs, the hotel is adjacent to the Aston Martin dealer.

Even I arrived so late, around midnight, will be easy to get access to the reception and did the check in. The breakfast was lovely, plus a very helpful and fantastic staff. Will recommend.

Unorganized: Got the airport as gate was closing
Do not stay here if you got an early flight. shuttle service: Got to the airport as the gate was closing due to no show of shuttle that the hotel "organized". As soon as I got to the hotel I asked about the shuttle service, they mentioned they have a partnership with a taxi company. I asked to have a taxi ordered and they called them right away and confirmed for pickup at 4am. At 4am there was nobody there, at 415 still no taxi. I tried ordering an Uber but since the hotel is in the middle of nowhere no luck. Reception closes at 11pm, so nobody could help me, and the busses don't start running till 530am. I had to beg another guest to drive me. Room: The room was ok, the washroom was bad: The sink had the drain closed (could not open it), the shower hose was ripped, having more water go out of it than the shower head, the bath tub glass was not sturdy and lots of water went on the floor.

Quirky hotel at affordable price
This is a small hotel. The staff is really friendly and helpful. The hotel has no aircon but the staff organised a fan for us so that we could sleep alright. The beds are really comfy and the bathroom quite big. Cleanliness could be improved, specially around the bathrooms but this didn't detract from the pleasant experiance.

Friendly & Helpful - a good find
Very Helpful staff. All areas clean & looked-after well. Weather was rather hot at the time I stayed (>30 C). No airi-cooling in rooms. Wish I'd taken a fan with me! Some rooms with step-free access - for others will need to use stairs. Plenty of private parking & also street-side parking available.

Close to the airport
Hotel reasonably priced near Brussels airport. 10 minutes drive with a gas station on the way to the rental car parking. No lift but staff accommodating to give you a room on the first floor if you have heavy luggage and a hard time to walk. Great breakfast with eggs cooked to your desire on order and a nice buffet with good coffee.

Cheerful hobbits!
The staff is great, and they even wear shoes. We were greeted warmly, questions about the area were cheerfully answered. When we asked for some extra pillows, they were brought right away. The breakfast buffet was not as luxurious as some bigger hotels, but everything was high quality. They even make you fresh eggs! This hotel is just a few minutes away from the airport, and is a great value. I would definitely stay here again.

It's suitable for the price and close to the airport if that's important to you. We didn't really find anything remarkable about this hotel, positive or negative.

Hobbit Hotel, Brussels
Good clean room. Not too far from the airport. A little hard to find especially because of all the construction but I'm sure a GPS would have no problem. The price did not include breakfast nor free shuttle service to the airport. However parking was free. The hotel front door was locked until 3PM so couldn't check in until then. Since the door was locked, couldn't put the suitcases in the lobby either. We got there at 2PM and just stayed in the car until the door was unlocked. The hotel did have some simple evening meals available for a reasonable price. Breakfast buffet could be purchased.

Above Average, nothing spectacular, but sufficient
The hotel over all was about what was expected. By no means will it blow you away, but it is your average, run of the mill business hotel. The rooms are adequate, and the bathrooms were decent, despite only receiving one towel even though our reservation clearly specified two guests staying in the hotel. Also be mindful when booking: the reservation desk closes at 11:30pm, so if you are delayed you may not have housing. The breakfast was more than adequate and worth the price. Be mindful, however, that their is indeed a charge for breakfast, which is not specified upon check in or entrance into the breakfast area. In fact, it is stating in small print next on the menus posted just outside of the seating area. Despite all of this, the hotel excels in that it is conveniently close to the airport and boasts prices that are very reasonable for those with a little bit tighter of a budget.
