The hotel is located in the center, 50 meters from the metro, bus station and 500 meters from the historic center. Very good and varied breakfast. Large room, comfortable bed, daily cleaning, warmth. Attentive and kind staff. 10 meters away there are restaurants with Turkish, Mediterranean, Belgian specialties and 500 meters away a Romanian restaurant. The shopping area is 100 meters away (the main pedestrian street takes you directly to the Grand Place). Many shops with artisanal chocolate nearby. In short, I recommend.

Great to have a bath and a balcony. Busy and convenient location, Rogier metro across the road, mall round the corner and 15/20 min walk to grand place. Atomium easy to get to from here too - direct tram from Rogier then 10 min walk It was perfectly clean and had a bath, balcony and breakfast included. Great solid wifi connection included. The hotel is really interesting, lots of old school touches, like the trouser press and the panels with material in them. The panels matched the material on the bottom of the bed and curtains - you can tell that years (and years) ago someone really thought about what they were doing and got things custom made. The rooms are old school, photos are accurate on booking.com etc, it isn't a modern set-up. But you do get a balcony and bath tub and it is clean. It is all dated, but I just found it really interesting - the art deco lobby, wood panelled lifts, iron window-mechanism, felt like stepping back in time. Hope they keep the history/identity and original features if they refurbish x

radiators were on a timer and overheated the room. had to have balcony doors open while they were on. To be fair it was very mild for time of year, but felt wrong having heating on and windows open. it's such an interesting place, would be good to have a leaflet or board with the hotel history on it - hotel history missing.

The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Even though our check in wasn't until 1pm, we arrived at 10.30am and was in our room within 30 mins. The hotel was clean and tidy. The location was great just a 15 mins walk from the main square and there is plenty of places to eat around the hotel. There are also taxis outside the hotel. Breakfast was nice with lots to choose from. The room was big.

Although they weren't big issues for us they may cause issues to others. We had a room at the front of the hotel and it seemed to be an emergency service vehicle going past every 20-30 mins (this is not an exaggeration) so I'm guessing there is a hospital or police station close by. Thankfully I'm a bit of a heavier sleeper so this didn't bother me that much. The beds were very close together. We booked two single beds but the beds were so close together they essentially became a double bed, again this didn't bother us to much but if you like your own space it may not be for you. It's took me a while to be able to log into the WiFi, not sure what the problem was but I eventually managed to log into it.

It was such a lovely place with an old, baroque-esque vibe. The staff was lovely and always there to help. I loved the fact that breakfast was included and it was a really good breakfast (scrambled eggs, bacon, meatballs and lots of delicious pastries and fruits/vegetables). The location was perfect - I could walk to the Grand Place and it's also right next to the Rogier metro station so I visited everything that I wanted in three days. I had a bathtub in my room, coffee/tea, towels, hairdryer, mini fridge and a perfect balcony view. Wifi worked, everything was clean. Honestly it was a perfect stay :)

I liked everything!

The hotel is a really beautiful Art Nouveau building located at the Rogier Square. The reception staff was helpful and friendly. The room service was also really fast. The breakfast was quite rich. The bed was comfortable and the room was spacious. There are bicycle-renting stops nearby and the metro station is just outside the hotel. But it is simply more practical to use your legs in the flat Brussels. The Botanical Garden is really close by and Grand-Place is a 15 min walk from the hotel.

Wifi connection was weak, that could be improved.

Very good breakfast buffet and coffee from the coffee makers - you can choose what you want. I had a room with a small balcony which was nice, allowing a view of the city. The location near the EU buildings is an additional asset.

The electricity circuits should be replaced, as the fuses often blow out. There is a need for more power sockets in the rooms, e.g. there is no available power socket for a cattle to boil water.

The hotel is located close to the Gare Nord, so it is easily accessible from the airport. The centre can be reached within 15 minutes (on foot) or by public transport. There are many shops and restaurants around. It is a classical hotel. My room, situated on 6th floor, was very spacious. It had a fridge and a kettle, which was really appreciated. Wifi also worked very well. I liked the room very much. Breakfast is served in the restaurant on the ground floor. It has a standard choice for sweet or non-sweet breakfast.

1) As other reviewers noted before me, the noise isolation is not ideal. There is a strange noise from the street and also noisy neighbours can be a problem. 2) The breakfast room is sometimes really crowded, especially when there are groups staying at the hotel. It would be good in such situations to open the upper part of the restaurant (though the staff working at the restaurant were very efficient in cleaning tables for new people).

The hotel was charming with a "vintage" feel. The staff were exceptionally kind and helpful. We especially liked the fact that our bed had a "top sheet" in addition to the duvet....that makes sleeping so much more comfortable than being either very hot with the duvet or freezing without it. The breakfast buffet was good and included with the room, so an added value and convenience.

It wasn't really the fault of the hotel, but there was a lot of street noise. Some was from road construction, which won't last forever, but most was sirens (that seemed to be constant) going to or from the hospital a block away. The elevator was a bit problematic. The button for the ground floor only functioned one time while we were there, so we had to go to floor 1 and walk down the stairs.

Very good breakfast with very helpful waiting staff and a good selection Front desk staff were very helpful and friendly. Sadly for me the beds were too soft but the room has everything we needed and the fridge was perfect for keeping drinks and chocolate cold. The weather was hot and we closed the curtains to keep the sunrays out but the room was still very hot however we did not try the portable air conditioning unit.

The beds- just too soft for me.

Excellent location near Rogier bus stop and station and a good area for restaurants and shopping. Very quite room and comfortable. Not my first time in this hotel and surely not the last when in the area.

The only thing I did not like is that rooms are not air conditioned if travelling during the hot summer season however rooms are equipped with windows which you can open to circulate air. Rooms are equipped with a mini refrigerator so at least you can put your own drinks to remain cold.
