The Hotel is in a great location just at the edge of the city centre. Right near the shopping area and a few minutes walk to bars/restaurants. The rooms are clean and the staff are very friendly.
Spacious rooms and love the customized layout of the room (beanbag for extra sitting space, extra hooks, full length mirror, multiple lamps for cozy ambience). Very stylish room and had a comfortable stay. Close to Rogier train station and walkable to Grand Place and main sightseeing spots. Will recommend!
Lovely stay before heading home. Everything within walking distance, behind a shopping street and about a 15 minute walk to the main part of Brussels. Lovely staff too!
The location of the hotel was awesome. It was very walkable to all places and I felt safe walking around the city.
The staff was amazingly nice and very helpful. The service in the small cafe was amazing.
The room was a decent size.
Brilliant hotel, would happily stay there again and would recommend it to anyone. The staff were so lovely and welcoming, the rooms were very nice, and it had a nice cafe and bar downstairs. Some of the light switches in the rooms were a bit odd, not very user friendly but this was literally my only negative, we were so happy there.
Great place to stay with lots of shops, places to eat and transport nearby. The hotel is amazing, the rooms are decorated in different tones of browns and biege which look really good. My only complaint is that the rooms are only serviced every 3 days, whilst I do not expect the towels and bedding to be changed every day I do expect the bed to be made, I did not spent nearly €1200 for 7 nights and then have to make the bed myself for 6 ig the 7 nights.
Stayed at the usual for a work trip. I very much enjoyed my stay. The room was clean and well-maintained, the staff was friendly. Despite facing the street there was virtually no noise.
