Mercure properties in Brussels

The location is perfect as it is close to Metro, train station. While we were staying the road was having constructions so it was not easy to walk, and noisy sometimes. But overall it was quite pleasant. We used the Wellness centre for free, but do remember to ask for a towel at reception.

Originally booked for Mercure Brussels Centre Rogier, and then changed to Hotel des Colonies Brussels by Mercure from Trip.com. During check in, we were asked if we book one over the other, indicating there are indeed TWO different hotels (and yes merging to one name by Mercure) and TWO different buildings. Picture 1 left is Hotel des Colonies Brussels (old building with old lift whereby you have to open the lift door manually, creaking floors, particular smell), right is Mercure Brussels Centre Rogier (modern, newly renovated, easy lift access). We were checked in to Hotel des Colonies and couldn’t even connect to a wifi properly. When asked about it, receptionist casually remarked they will reset the wifi and asked to try again, reluctant for the room shift. Tried and failed, we demanded to change to another room as we stayed there for 4 nights! We asked a different receptionist for this. Another thing is we were not informed about no room cleaning during check in. So when we requested one in the late afternoon, we were told to request it one day earlier and were asked to clean the bin ourselves at that point of time. Really speechless. Free coffee machine but not properly replenished and some cups were dirty.
