Radisson Blu Royal Hotel, Brussels

After much pontificating about where to stay my wife chose this hotel for a city break for her 40th birthday and our 10th wedding anniversary - and I have to say it was a pretty good choice. From arrival felt very welcome with all staff speaking excellant English (yes, lazy... but you know how it is). We had upgraded to a Business Room as it included breakfast for not a lot more than a standard room without, and were not disappointed. The room was tidy with good amenities (mini bar, comfort cooling, large wall mounted flat tv etc) and a nice looking bathroom - no bath though with just a large walk in shower. Work area was very comfortable with decent sized desk and comfy chair. Breakfast was a little chaotic as everybody seemed to get to the room at 9:15 which lead to a lack of seating for a small period, but generally had a good choice of pretty decent quality food including pastries, croissants, toast and a selecton of bacon, sausage and the like. We didn't use any of the other restaurants so can't comment on these. Bar was small but nice, with a good selection of drinks. Apart from the fact they couldnt make either of our first two choices of cocktail (the server was vary embarressed and apologetic) due to a lack of required ingrediants it was a nice place to have a quick drink before going into the city centre. Location wise was spot on for the main tourist areas in the centre only being a 5-10 minute walk to the Grand Place, shopping streets etc. Overall I would say a great choice for anyone visiting Brussels on either business or holiday, and we would have no problems staying here again.

You can't go wrong with this hotel. A real 5 Star in Europe!

Excellent hotel, great location, typical luxury hotel. The only negative comment is the breakfast is not included and the price for breakfast buffet is extremely high (30 euros)

Nice hotel entrance area, friendly and high-quality staff. However, the bed was of not very high-quality and the room itself was a bit dated and while clean, the carpet had definitely seen better days.

This hotel is business only. The location is very convenient, but the rooms were nothing special, and the hotel is starting to show some wear and tear - broken furniture, the ice machine didn't work, etc. The staff was helpful when asked but not particularly friendly. We didn't bother with the very expensive buffet breakfast. The next time I stay in Brussels, I'll choose a smaller boutique hotel and leave the Radisson for people with business travel accounts.

Spacious business class room with espresso machine and a kingsize bed. Free newspapers, free coffee, non-alcoholic beverages and fruitbasket in the lounge on each business class floor. We booked a standard room but nevertheless got a business room. Check-in took quite a long time but then again it was rush-hour on a Saturday. We got a, although a little bit worn out, 5-star hotel smack dab in the middle of Brussels for the price of a two-star one. Great value!!!Didn't have breakfast but it was expensive at 30 eur/pp. Had a sufficient breakfast in a small bistro nearby for 6 eur/pp.

I was really pleased with the hotel; we had a superb room and the service was excellent. We would most certainly use the hotel again.

When I arrived late in the evening, I was greeted by a friendly staff member. Realizing that I was tired after a transatlantic trip, the staff member worked quickly and I was in my room in no time. The hotel was located in a convenient location and the staff members were willing to answer any of my questions throughout my short visit. Overall, a great stay.

The hotel was nice. Clean. Appropriate sized room. Bathroom floors were slightly outdated Overall served our needs but was probably a 3.5 star hotel...nothing more. Location is okay...near some shopping and close to the metro system.

The staff and Concierge staff were great. They steered us to where we wanted to get to and provided great directions to us. When we needed a cab, they had one waiting for us.
