About
Hotel Abberdeen
Hotel Abberdeen sits on Rue Du Colombier in Brussels Centre, a short walk from the Grand Place, De Brouckère station, and the city's main shopping street. The 2-star property keeps things simple: double rooms, free Wi-Fi in public areas, and a bar for after-dark drinks.
Guest reviews are consistent about the location being the biggest draw – easy access to tourist sites, supermarkets across the street, and a good-value price for the centre. The trade-off is a dated interior, narrow stairs, and modest facilities that score below the hotel's overall rating.

In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
5 reasons to book- Unbeatable central location — The hotel is in Brussels Centre, a short stroll from Grand Place, the main shopping street, and De Brouckère metro. Guests repeatedly mention being able to reach tourist sites on foot and having supermarkets across the street.
- Friendly, helpful staff — Reviews describe the staff as friendly, welcoming, and helpful, which is reflected in the strong Staff rating of 8.6.
- Good value for a city-centre stay — At a price point below many Brussels hotels, guests find it reasonable value for the location, even if the accommodation itself is basic.
- Breakfast with lots of choice — Several guests specifically praise the variety of breakfast options – 'a huge variety of goodies' and 'lots of goodies for breakfast'.
- Nice bar on site — A bar at the property adds a convenient spot for a drink without leaving the hotel.

Worth weighing
5 to weigh- Dated rooms and worn interiors — Some guests describe the rooms as old and not thoroughly clean, and the building itself isn't in its first youth. The Facilities rating is notably low.
- No lift and narrow stairs — The hotel has no lift, and the staircases are narrow, which can make carrying heavy luggage a real challenge.
- Small rooms in some cases — While some guests found their rooms large, others describe them as extremely small – one even compared it to a closet.
- Basic facilities — Beyond the rooms and bar, amenities are limited – no pets, no parking mentioned, and the Facilities rating sits well below the hotel average.
- Location can mean noise — Being on the main shopping street in the centre could mean street noise, though this isn't directly mentioned by guests – it's a structural trade-off of the central setting.
