The room was large and it was very quiet, even we are in the middle of Brussels. The building has some former grandeur. the lay-out is a bit confusing but the sings are fine.

The hotel is a really beautiful one. Our room was huge comparing to others that we’ve stayed in the past. But I didn’t like the bathroom. I could have a little smaller room with a better shower. It was so small that if you drop something, you had to come out because there is no space. Or if a bigger person than me gets in there it wouldn’t have enough room to close the door. Besides that I’ll recommend it. Perfect location

The room was quite small, carpet had stains on it. Bed was comfortable, but the cushions on the bed had hair on them. The bathroom was small, the extractor fan didnt seem to work as it was dripping with condensation after using the shower. The shower was nice and the water was hot. We only spent 1 night so didnt bother mentioning any of this to reception. I wouldn't stay there again

The road that the hotel is situated on was closed due to ongoing roadworks therefore we were unable to off load luggage at hotel. Checking in at reception we were advised that the car parking that we had pre booked and received confirmation, was now not available due to the roadworks, I complained that we had not received any notification and that on site parking was a reason for booking this hotel. We were advised to park in a public carpark, locations provided by reception. Our room was upgraded for the inconvenience. As my wife can not use a lift we asked for directions to the staircase to our room on the 4th floor, the receptionist led us to a stairwell telling us that the stairs were under construction. The staircase consisted of crumbling unfinished concrete steps covered in dust, plasterboard walls and loose wiring hanging from the wall on one floor, I pointed out that as this was a health and safety risk as the stairs in my opinion were dangerous and asked if there was another staircase to access our room, we were told by two members of staff during our stay that it was the only staircase. The manager was unavailable, but gave us, a complimentary breakfast on one day of our stay as recompense. On check out a member of staff told us we could have used the emergency stairs but if we could not use the lift we should have advised in advance, disappointed that staff unaware of alternative stairs leaving us to use dangerous stairs during our stay. no one seemed bothered.

Very good hotel, super helpful staff.
Overall I was really happy with this hotel. I went there partly for work and partly for the city break. I travelled with my girlfriend. I would happily stay there again. Positives - Super helpful staff Really comfortable bed Great location for getting around the city Good value Modern Excellent free Wifi Good gym facilities Less positive Ongoing street works made the outside seem messy and a little tricky underfoot in places, but these were flagged up by the hotel and should finish soon. There were a few sex shops in Adolphe Max, which were not offensive to me, but it might be a bit challenging to answer a "what's that" question if you walked along the street with a young child. On two mornings out of 5 the water in the shower started to run cool and then cold water. The room TVs were not smart TVs. There was quite often a pretty unpleasant smell on the second floor near the gym and some toilets there. The rooms and corridors all seemed a little dark. Some of the security measures you often see in hotels nowadays were absent, for example key cards were not required to use the lifts, which in theory leaves them open for anyone who gets past reception to roam the hotel.

We were not advised prior to our booking that there were road works out the front of the property. It was very inconvenient especially with bags and having to walk to either end of the street just to go places.

Super nice staff and very clean, but the decor is very dark, depressing and dreary. Hated the two twin beds as they moved around. Also, most of the lights in the bathroom were burned out so I couldn’t see to put on makeup. Hairblower was terrible. The room was very quiet and spacious, though, and I liked the room service and the fact they didn’t tack on a lot of extra fees like most hotels do. Unfortunately, the sidewalks are torn up on that street and it’s hard to walk but that’s out of their control.

Beware of External Works Running Until April 2024!
The hotel was okay however there is major roadworks occurring directly outside the hotel (I was informed that these shall continue until April 2025), on my last morning i was awoken at 6:00am from the noise of the excavation works. There is also lots of dust and dirt on the pedestrian walkways directly in the vacinity of the hotel so avoid bringing or having the notion of wearing any nice footwear if stopping at the hotel. The safety in some parts is rather questionable I just about managed to avoid dropping in a hole (covered by boarding) when wheeling my trolley, definately avoid this location if you are travelling with any young / vunerable precious ones. Would of been nice to be informed of all the major works around the hotel prior to my arrival so that I had the option of seeking alternative accommodation, I did book this place prior to the roadworks and at time of booking the photos looked great. Internally the hotel did have nice decor and seemed reasonably well maintained and cleaned so I would of thought they would have provided alternative access and egress given the external works.

Great comfortable, clean and modern hotel
Loved this hotel, room was immaculately clean and modern, Netflix on the TV, great shower and bathroom, nespresso machine and kettle, mugs and glasses provided, a fridge, good AC system. Walking distance from the Grand Place (about 10 mins) and near the metro so pleased with the location and staff were very helpful and friendly. Not a bad word to say.
