8.6Verified guest“The hotel couldn't be better placed—it's right across from Brussels Central Station. It does need some thoughtful updates; the decor feels dated and the lighting is quite dim. Staff could be more knowledgeable about Belgium and the surrounding regions.”
8.6Verified guest“The bathroom was the best we encountered across four European hotels (Paris, London, Edinburgh, Brussels). Staff were extremely friendly and helpful, the room was spotless and had a fridge. A great hotel—I'd happily stay again and recommend it to anyone. The location is excellent too.”
8.6Verified guest“I stayed in a Superior Double Room for four nights. The location was ideal—a short walk to both the central station and the Royal Park. Breakfast had a solid selection and quality teabags, and the 24/7 tea and coffee in the lobby was a thoughtful touch. My room was spacious and very clean.”
8.6Verified guest“Great location!”
8.6Verified guest“The location was wonderful and the room was comfortable. We had three people in a small suite, so there was plenty of space. The bathroom had a tub, a shower, and two sinks.”
8.6Verified guest“You can't beat the location—it's a short walk from everywhere. For tea or coffee, try Papparoti nearby. Rooms are well-appointed and nicely decorated, with a lovely view of the cathedral. Bonus points for the WiFi and coffee.”
