Overpriced

We paid a lot for this hotel and it was very small. Small everything. No AC , very old building.
The night staff were not friendly, although the morning, the gentleman that spoke english was.
We wanted to go out about 6:30am and were locked into the hotel until 7am. The staff at breakfast were not friendly. Breakfast was only ok. This was our worst stay in all the hotels we were at and it was totally overpriced. The only thing it has going for itself is that it is about two blocks from the Hilton and has a few cafe's that were good in the area.

After booking a getaway for myself and 10 of my friends, we decided to book rooms at Hotel Chambord, due to its location and price.
After a bad flight we finally arrived at the hotel to be confronted with more bad news; They didn't have room for all of us. After the initial anger, I told myself that this was understandable as many hotels overbook. What followed next was why I have given such a poor review:
They told us that two of us would have to go elsewhere (Or as they put it, 'You don't have a room!') and then showed the rest of us to our rooms. They proceeded to show a couple of my friends to a room with a single bed. How they imagined that would work is beyond me.
They then showed two of my male friends to a room with a double bed, when they had asked for a twin. They may be close friends, but that's just taking the mickey!
We told them that this was unacceptable and wanted other rooms. The receptionist then told us that that was impossible as everyone else had checked in and then produced a list of names to further prove his point. Unluckily for him, we noticed two of our friend's names on the list, who were still on the way from the airport in a taxi! They hadn't even seen the hotel, let alone checked in!
After being directly lied to and treated appallingly, we asked to see the manager. 'No manager' was the reply from the receptionist, who throughout this whole ordeal, was extremely rude and unhelpful.
Half of us then left to find another hotel whilst the others with half-decent rooms stayed.
An awful experience, do not book here!

Ideally situated and within walking distance to the Grand Place and the luxury area of Louisa, this three-star hotel is really cheap compared to others in town. A full American/continental breakfast buffet is included in the rate. The staff is friendly and very accommodating. There is metro station just outside. The rooms are clean and fully furnished, with a private bath and toilets. This is a very good compromise in a city where accommodation is expensive.
