Clean rooms, quiet floors, excellent breakfast, close to metro station
We had a nice stay over the weekend, our room was spacious and had good amenities, we always appreciate having a kettle in the room as my husband & like our hot drinks.
It was very accessible and near the main parts of Brussels as advertised!
We also had a little flood in our bathroom after using the big shower, really good pressure but the drain wasn’t quite working properly and the receptionist were quick to respond and help us - was easily sorted!
The room was clean, staff were very polite and helpful. If we needed to go somewhere, they helped us with directions.
The hotel was well situated for the purpose of our visit. The Metro just 2 minutes away and 1 minute walk to the high street. Safe area too.
Very friendly staff, clean and nice hotel, very enjoyable stay. Rooms were very spacious and clean. Great location also, near metros and different areas with plenty to do.
Great location; very helpful staff; room
was modern

This place is ok for a budget, one night stay in close proximity to a busy part of Brussels. There’s paid parking close to this property (underground).
This is the second time for me to stay in the hotel. Staff is nice and rooms are clean. There are lots of dining options. I would come back again when I visit Brussels.
The staff was excellent. Full of information and suggestions.
Room was simple but spacious and clean.
Location was good for walking to places but street was dark

1) fantastic staff, all very friendly, helpful and super nice
2) very comfortable beds
3) good area, close to shops, restaurants, city center etc(although a bit dark at night)
On the minus, a bit torn and claustrofobic corridors like a maze. First room we got was below groud. Chabged room due to issues in the bathroom

Room was very spacious. There is no laundry facility as stated on hotels.com but an expensive laundry service instead. There is free coffee from a good coffee machine at the lobby and reusable glass flasks/bottles to collect filtered water from the machine at the lobby. Very friendly and attentive staff.
