Aucun problème. La personne qui nous a reçues était souriante, rapide. Petit souci (qui n est pas en relation avec l acceuil) un peu difficile à trouver (pas de numéro de rue....)

It was quick and easy to leave my luggage here while I walked around Brussels. Good pricing, and open late on a Sunday! Its easy to miss as the sign on the door is relatively small. Its colocated at a cellphone repair shop. Would definitely use again in Brussels, and will look for Radical Luggage in other cities, too.

Малко странен гърдероб за багаж, това е магазинче за хранителни стоки, влизате сканират ви кода, взимат багажа и го прибират в скалада ????, но всичко става много бързо и нямаше никакви проблеми, както пставихме багажа, така ни го върнаха.

The place was a little bit hard to find. At first, I thought there was a storage facility with a pin code, but it turned out that the restaurant itself was the one providing the storage service. However, the staff were helpful, and my bags were kept safe! It was a really nice experience. I would definitely recommend it, and it was very affordable.

Okay, dass die Koffer dann in so einem Einkaufskiosk gelagert werden, ist erst mal ein bisschen ungewöhnlich. Aber dadurch, dass der Service komplett online abläuft, und man ein Foto von den Nummern macht, unter denen die Koffer dann gelagert werden, ist die ganze Sache schon sicher.
