Good - but some things to sort out
There is a lot to be said for the Augustin - but there's a definite problem to sort and an annoyance.
Location is great - a few minutes from the Grand Place, plenty of public transport nearby and not far from Gare-du-Midi if arriving by train. That area is a bit of a building site at the moment though.
The rooms are good and most of the refurb has finished. Could do with some drawers to put things in. In the room out the back it was very quiet (if the school was open maybe less so) and it was well cleaned.
The buffer breakfast had a good selection of food and I thought was OK for the cost. Ditto the room cost - we had a 'Deluxe Double'.
Problems: the TV wasn't connected to the Internet and therefore all apps (Netflix etc.) would not work. It also crashed and rebooted itself every hour or so! We aren't great TV watchers but would annoy.
Main problem. The air conditioning. Mercifully it was post heatwave. But the central control means it comes on and off at all times, cools the room to a chilly 21'C and you have no control - even to turn it off at night. I fully understand the system was stressed during the heatwave but it is possible to allow users to turn off and ignore schedule. You can also allow temp ranges so ley users choose between an sensible range. Biggest problem at night - go to sleep with it off, wake up freezing, cover up with duvet, wake up boiling. Repeat.

Disappointing
⭐☆☆☆☆
Extremely disappointing stay.
We stayed at this hotel from July 20 to July 22, 2026, and, unfortunately, we are leaving with a very bad memory.
The main problem concerned the air conditioning. It was set at 21 °C by a centralized system, with no possibility of adjusting the temperature from our room. Despite four reports to the front desk (two phone calls, an exchange with two receptionists, and a discussion with a manager), nothing was resolved.
Each time, the air conditioning restarted automatically, including in the middle of the night and early in the morning, which woke us up regularly. In addition to the cold, the noise of the restart constantly disrupted our sleep. However, the outside temperatures were already cool (between 15 and 18 °C), which made this constant air conditioning completely incomprehensible.
The manager himself explained to us that the building did not allow each room to independently manage its air conditioning and that the centralized system automatically restarted the air conditioning every three hours to avoid an electrical overload.
At the end of the stay, my partner and I were both sick (tonsillitis and a severe cold), resulting in time off work and a medical certificate.
We have stayed in very many hotels, including lower-category establishments, and we have never encountered a situation where guests could not manage the temperature of their room themselves.
A 4-star hotel must offer a minimum level of comfort and allow its guests to sleep in good conditions. Unfortunately, that was not the case here.
I submitted a complete file to management with photos showing the air conditioning locked at 21 °C, the logs of my calls to the front desk, as well as the medical documentation. I hope that a commercial solution will be offered.
Unfortunately, I do not recommend this establishment until this air conditioning problem has been resolved.

Good location but we didn't have the air conditioning as promised.
Strengths: The location, the size of the room. Breakfast not tested.
Weaknesses: No air conditioning, the receptionist promised us compensation and I haven't received a response after writing to the hotel. It was a heatwave and after reading several reviews on Tripadvisor, I don't understand the reason why I don't find the same kind of disappointment regarding the AC on Booking???? In addition, my review on Booking is not visible after the 14th page????? I am a Genius level 3 and this is the 4th time this has happened to me.

For the price, this hotel was very disappointing. The advertises a top-rated breakfast, but in our experience it wasn’t even worth €5. The scrambled eggs were contaminated with pork juices because the same serving spoon was used for both the eggs and the bacon. In a country like Belgium, where halal options are widely available, I expected better attention to avoiding cross-contamination. The amenities were poor. There was no YouTube or Netflix on the TV, and when I mentioned it at reception, the staff member simply shrugged and said he couldn’t leave the desk to help. The air conditioning only worked at certain times, which was very odd. We stayed as a family of three with a toddler. Despite requesting extra towels on the first day, we kept having to ask. We had also booked a twin room with a sofa bed, but were moved at the last minute to a room with only one double bed, so all three of us had to share. The balcony was filthy and had loose, dangling cables, making it unsafe to use. Overall, the hotel was overpriced and poor value for money. I wouldn’t recommend it, especially for families with young children.

Just terrible
This is probably the worst 4-star hotel I’ve stayed in — 2 stars would be more appropriate.
We stayed there last week during a very hot spell in Brussels. Despite having paid for air conditioning when we booked, the hotel refused to turn it on.
Cons:
- No air conditioning
- Elevator out of order
- Breakfast quality well below expectations
- Strong smell of solvents throughout the hotel
- Unfriendly staff
- No bar
- No gym
- The property was essentially a construction site, which wasn’t disclosed on the website
Pros:
- None worth mentioning.
