Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel's location was perfect, right in the middle of the action and just next door to the train station. The rooms were facing the main street, lacking soundproofing and had various neglected issues like a non-functional safe and broken tiles in the bathroom. The service was a mix - unfriendly when requesting extra pillows, but accommodating and humorous in other instances. Dining had its issues with slow service, but the American-style breakfast was well-prepared for a good value. Overall, a convenient location with room for improvement in room maintenance and service.
The hotel is centrally located, steps away from Grand Place and the central station, offering easy access to main attractions. The rooms are cozy but not ready upon arrival as expected. Service varies from unfriendly interactions to exceptionally friendly and professional staff. The dining experience is good but lacks croissants in the selection. Overall, the hotel's prime location compensates for some service shortcomings.
I stayed at this hotel which had both positives and negatives. The room, located on the 5th floor, was very small with a hard bed and limited sockets. On the upside, the service from the friendly and helpful staff was top-notch. The central location was great for exploring the city but noisy at night. Dining was a bit pricey, but the food was delicious. Overall, a mixed experience with some drawbacks.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was superb, just a short walk from all the key attractions in the city. However, the room I had was on the small side with some neglected maintenance issues. On the bright side, the service improved over time, and the staff became more friendly and helpful towards the end. The dining options were good, with a mix of continental and American-style dishes, but the need to log in again for Wi-Fi was a bit inconvenient.
The hotel is superbly located, just a short walk from the Central Station and the Grand Place, making it a convenient hub for exploring Brussels. The rooms are clean and comfy, although some may find them small. The service is welcoming and helpful, though there may be additional charges for certain services. The dining options are satisfactory but may not offer a wide variety. Overall, a decent choice for those looking to immerse themselves in the heart of Brussels.

My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The rooms, although showing signs of wear and tear with some water stains on the ceiling and dusty air conditioning fan, were spacious. The service, particularly at the reception desk, was helpful and the staff exhibited great professionalism. The location was the highlight, being centrally located near major tourist attractions, the Brussels Central Station, and excellent dining options. However, charging gadgets was inconvenient. The dining options were limited, but the breakfast was worth the money. Overall, a good value for a city break.
