I was sent to a second building of the Hotel Retro into the rook 502. Which is fine as a standard. But nobody warned me that there is no lift up to the 5th floor. It ends on the fourth floor then you have to walk up taking narrow wooden stairs with your bag.

Delivers nicely what it promises
This is a very decent, modern-designed 3* hotel that is most often great value for money (i.e. under 100 euros per night).
If one takes bigger double room (20 m2) then it is very comfortable. Staff is very pleasant and efficient - gave me free bottles of water after clubbing. Did not try their 15 euros breakfast.
The only issue could be location that is not in the ideal neighborhood. But both metro and tram station (and bus 272 for airport) are just few metres away so you can easily spend your evenings in nicer areas. Otherwise, there is a very nice bar of nhow hotel across the road and great late night Le Snack Botanique around the corner....Several chain markets (Carrefour, Delhaize) are only couple of minutes walk.

Uphill from the train station. The hotel area felt safe, and walkable. Nice hotel, high off the floor showers though, if you are older or disabled not the best.
Train station area a little sketchy.

Surly and unhelpful receptionist on arrival, cramped room for 2 people with limited storing/hanging space. Bedside lamps unsafe and could not be used. Decor uninspiring. No hotel information re breakfast or other services. Will not book this hotel again. Extremely disappointing but didnt let it affect our successful visit to the beautiful sights of Bruges, Ghent and Brussels.
