The hotel is in a convenient location, with easy access to public transport and a quiet neighborhood. The rooms were spacious and great for our group of four, providing a pleasant space to work after breakfast. While the sound from outside was noticeable being close to the stairs on the 2nd level, the overall experience was comfortable. The service was a mix, with some staff members being rude but others very kind and helpful. The location is ideal, walking distance to key attractions and in an elegant building. The dining options were average, with a standard selection of breakfast items. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.

I was pleasantly surprised by the spacious and clean rooms that offered comfortable bedding, exceeding my expectations. However, the limited sound-proofing was a drawback along with the absence of basic amenities like a fridge. The staff was incredibly helpful and attentive, ensuring a smooth check-in and check-out process without any unnecessary delays. The location of the hotel was simply perfect, allowing easy access to both the old town and the EU quarter. The dining experience offered a variety of delicious options, making breakfast enjoyable. Overall, a great value for the money spent.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were spacious, clean, and comfortable, although the lack of temperature control made it a bit stuffy. The service was mostly friendly and helpful, but there was one staff member who was rude. The location was convenient, close to the metro station and eateries, though it felt a bit noisy being next to the street. The dining experience was average, and the facilities were satisfactory.

The hotel was in a great location, ideal for visiting EU institutions, with good facilities and ironing facilities. The rooms were small but suitable for overnight stays, although too hot with no control over the temperature. The service was helpful and friendly, making check-in and check-out hassle-free. The location was excellent, just a short walk to the city center and within easy reach of the Grand Place. The dining options included fresh bread, salami, ham, cheese, and a variety of yogurt, cereals, and fruit, offering a good selection. The facilities were well-prepared for a comfortable stay.

The hotel had its highs and lows. While the rooms were small, noisy, and old-fashioned with a dusty curtain, the service was super nice and very welcoming.

The hotel offers very pleasing rooms, with a window overlooking the garden, that look as if they have been renovated recently. The location is excellent for exploring the European quarter and the center of town, with various restaurants and bars close by. However, the service was rather arrogant and not helpful, and the dining options lacked variety despite good quality items.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the rooms were nicely tucked away at the back of the building with a nice courtyard, they were very noisy due to no insulation at the third floor of a dependance across the road. The service was friendly and helpful, despite a small hiccup about my dog. The location was convenient, close to the metro and local shops, but far enough from the city not to be too noisy. Dining options were okay, with some fresh vegetables available, but nothing extraordinary. The value for money was reasonable, considering the amenities provided.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. While the rooms were generally dark and spooky with a cracked window due to the warm weather in Brussels, some were spacious and comfortable with a modern feel. The service was satisfactory, with mostly well-prepared and friendly staff, except for one member who, despite giving a nice smile, didn't handle a request smoothly. The location was excellent, close to the city center, public transport, and main attractions. However, there were missed opportunities for flexibility, especially during daylight saving time. The dining options were limited and not worth the price, although the Pork Belly dish was seriously yummy.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of good and not-so-good experiences. The rooms, with their high ceilings and beautiful antique decorations, were impressive, but the receptionist was a bit rude. The location was convenient, albeit a bit far from the historical center, and the dining option was a bit poor despite the nice lobby. Service was great overall, especially from the polite and helpful staff members.
