The Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"The Hotel is my favourite hotel to stay in when I am in Brussels. It is just perfection in every way possible! From the absolutely brilliant reception team - Nour is such a professional, going above and beyond to help and make check-in as seamless as possible, to the equally exceptional staff at the restaurant, bar and the housekeeping team. Special thanks to the incredible manager, Valerie, who always makes sure we get the best possible experience at the hotel. The rooms are super clean, spacious, quiet with very comfy bed and pillows, and the view is just spectacular. I wish there was a The Hotel in every city I travel to! Highly recommended and I will definitely be back, be it for business or leisure."
