Good Location, outdated otherwise. Booked at decent price you can't complain, but don't expect a modern 4* experience
Nice friendly hotel, close to where I was working in Brussells and close to the metro that connects to the airport. Breakfast was varied and the room was comfortable. The reception staff are always nice people.
The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. It was close to a metro station and the area was quiet.
The hotel itself is clean but the room were were in needed a little renovation. However it was fine.
Perfect, charming hotel. It was a very convenient location for us - close to my office near the European Commission and easy for my husband to get to the main tourist areas in the city by metro. The bed was very comfortable and the hotel was clean and well maintained. We checked in very late in the middle of the night and the front desk staff member who checked us in was incredibly kind and moved us through the process swiftly. He gave such a warm welcome to two weary travelers - we were very grateful. We will definitely stay again if we’re ever in Brussels.

Ok for a short business stay but...
Service was very good, the reception staff are very professional and breakfast excellent. However, my room was in need or a refit. The bathroom basin was cracked in several places and the carpet, although clean, was very worn, as were most of the furnishings. Not a 4 star, more like three and not worth the 4 star premium price.
The hotel itself is really nice. Exceptionally close to the EC buildings, and with small supermarkets and restaurants all within 1 minute walking distance.
The ambience inside the hotel is exquisite. It is calm, dimly lit, and with a wonderful aroma in the lobby area.
I cannot comment on breakfast, as i did not have it.
The room was clean, and well provisioned, with very friendly cleaning staff. The room also has some nice art, and beautiful pictures of exquisite automobiles. In my room were photos of ~€10 million euros worth of classic car. Lovely, if you appreciate this, as you do not get to see these cars outside of books and museums, normally.
The only comment i have is that on one evening, i asked the front desk to print me 12 pages of black and white A4, which I needed for work the next morning. I offered to pay for this service, of course. They refused, and said i should go into the city centre (three stops on the metro). I was quite surprised by this. I then asked the next morning (with a different front desk operator) and, of course, they did it free of charge, and with a smile. This was quite surprising!
Best thing that can be said about this hotel is the lcoation if you want to stay right in the heart of the EU District. Other than that, it is an old hotel that needs to be refurbished. Rooms are small. Breakfast is decent, but not a five star luxury buffet!
Property was tired and out of date and staff when leaving was very unhelpful and told me that I should have done the check out the night before despite me having told staff that I was cutting my stay short by a day and providing all paperwork and credit card when requested at check in. I do not think.i will be returning.

Seems nothing much has been done since 1980s. Breakfast just average.
It was a very good location. I would have regarded the list price to hight (ca 300 EUR) but the offering via hotels.com (126 EUR) it was an excellent solution. I did not use any of the services as I normally on business trip's just use the bed. But excellent location, fresch, clean, reception open late (as you normally arrive late after a workday) and a bottle of water on the room and a nice bed. Bacsically all you need

It's not a 4star hotel
Very disappointing 4star hotel. It looks like a cheap 3star hotel. No hote amenities (no shampoo, no hair conditioner, just liquid soap and that's it). AirCon was not working. Avoid !

No Air conditioning
Booked a City room, with air conditioning (32c outside on that week) but upon arrival was told it was only a regular room without air conditioning! Tried to sleep with window open but noises made it impossible for me to sleep, which was the point of the hotel!
Firstly at check in the receptionist called Denis never acknowledged me just took my passport without even hello or welcome.
On the website I have booked a city room which clearly stated I had air-conditioning.
When I got to the room alas there was no air-conditioning so when I went back down to reception I was told that I would have to pay €25 extra for air conditioning With matter of fact attitude.
Unbelievable extortion
