B&B La Villa Zarin

Brussels

I really enjoyed my stay here. 
First of all, it's premium location: 10 / 15 min walking from the train station, 10 min from Grand Place, next to a metro station if you're moving further from the center.
As it's on the city center, you have tones of places to eat around the hotel.
The room was big and clean. The bed comfortable.
The person that attended me (owner?) was very welcoming. I was able to store my luggage both on arrival and departure. 
The internet connection was good.

On the no-so-good points: 
it's a traditional house (which I loved and is why I chose the place), which means that if you have any mobility issue or carry a lot of luggage it's not for you as stairs are very narrow and very steep.
it's stated as a B&B, but breakfast is optional. They do provide a kettle and mugs, though. And there is a convenience store in front of the hotel to purchase anything you might need.
walls are thin. Noise is not an issue for me, and, with the bathroom door closed it was quiet enough for me. But if you're noise-sensitive, you should probably look for a more modern place.

Location location location

Great hotel really quick easy walk into the centre of Brussels. Owner is lovely and so helpful showing us the way to the parking - note that even though it says here on tripadvisor that there is free parking there is not. We had to park just down the road but a secure safe car park for €16 for 24 hours. But that was also quick and easy. Room 1 that we stayed in is huge, spacious really comfy beds. Would stay here again.

Super!

I chose this place as I was running away from another accommodation which turned out to be unacceptable. With a great relief and sheer joy, I found this place absolutely friendly, comfortable, elegant and well-located. The owner is an amazingly warm woman who is super helpful and nice. She has also great taste and You can see it in the interior design. I rarely come back to the same place but La Villa Zarin will definitely be my 'home' everytime I will stay in Brussels.

Home-like experience

Like many other similar hidden treasures, no one would choose La Villa based on outside appearances.  Even once within its confines, its not the most posh establishment in all of Brussels.  But to say it has many endearing characteristics would be at the least disingenuous.  The proprietor, the gentle lady of the house, is friendly to a fault, helpful and happy to engage in conservation.  She is full advice regarding dining, entertainment and stories about the 1600’s aged property. 
The room chosen for me, a single traveler, was spacious enough for a family, and in fact had a crib, a large double bed, dinette set, two comfortable chairs and an ample sofa.  A hot pot with refrigerator completed the amenities.  The bathroom was modern with large shower and plenty of hot water.  In spite of all the good stuff, travelers should  be advised that the stairways in a very quaint old house are narrow and steep. A elevator will eliminate the need to carry heavy bags up steps.  If there is one (small) complaint, it would be location.  While not far off a main boulevard, La Villa can be just a bit confusing to find.  The wise traveler will use a smart phone app (map.me or other application) to minimize walking blocks in search of the place.  All in all, a great place to stay, with a perfect host.
Hint:  Costs of breakfast (10 EU) are not included in the room price.  Breakfast is not served before 7:00 AM, so if you have a early departure, find your breakfast elsewhere.    


Great home away from home.  Worth your time to find in a busy city!

She knows and loves her town very much we enjoyed our discussions with her, besides she is adorable with the children (we have a little girl of 2 years) she was always listening to her. The apartment was very spacious, very clean and very well equipped, in the morning a very good breakfast with a homeowner always ready to satisfy your wishes. Thank you we had a wonderful stay. The establishment is in the city center and everything is close to foot.

As in the House

The street doesn't pay much, but we're a stone's throw from the center, transport and the main axes. There's no problem on this side. The real big bonus of the Villa Zarin is its owner.

Good experience

When I arrived there was no one there, so I had to contact the owner by phone so that she would come and open (after 2 phone calls on the answering machine) 40 minutes to wait in my car. I found my room which was on the third floor accessible by a narrow staircase, in which there was a bathroom without curtains and under a roof slope (i.e. no shower as hard as putting water everywhere in the room). Next to this bathroom was offered old soap already well-filled and a bottle of shampoo just filled.

Building made of brick and slate

On a business trip I booked the same day based on my good reviews. Declared that I arrived no later than 10 p.m., I arrived at 9:45 p.m. outside the closed door... I had to find me an alternative after 10 p.m. you imagine the gallery.

I'm not available at 9:45 p.m., but I'm getting paid!

We were extremely disappointed in our room, to say the least. So there was no intimacy if we were in the room, and obviously it was impossible to lie down without putting water everywhere. There were no curtains either. But for a 90€/night proxy room, it didn't seem reasonable to spend 50€ in a small bathroom and a small window. So when I saw a minimum lunch in the room without a shower, I didn't notice that it was underneath the room, but I noticed that we had a little more room, and we only had a little more room.

Don't take our room!

When you walk through Brussels it is inevitable that you do not notice the mansarde that crowns the roofs of this eclectic city, I in particular have always wanted to peer into the world from above. At the villa Zarin I have fulfilled my wish. Thanks to the infallible nose of my Musa to which I blindly rely, I find myself in this beautiful b&b, whose atmosphere catapults you into a completely new reality. Our room was the Magritte, a mansarde of a beautiful shade of blue and finely decorated with direct references to the artist's works made it difficult to access the room, which was accessed with a beautiful climb on a beautiful, romantic staircase certainly, but extremely narrow and steep.
