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.
Friendly staff clean water and rooms, everything was amazing

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.
I loved my stay here. The location was convenient, a 15 min walk to the main area. The room was beautifully presented and clean and coming into an air-conditioned room was fantastic after a very hot day of sightseeing. The staff were also lovely, I would stay here again in the future.
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
