Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
We stayed in Superior Double Room. Although the room is a bit small, it was fairly comfortable with good air conditioning, fridge, and electric kettle. The only shortcoming was that it took 10-15 minutes to have warm water from the shower. Breakfast is very nice. An underground public parking (Interparking Toison D’Or) is available for 15 Euros per 24 hours that is inexpensive rate for Brussels. (Hotel discount rate is not available.) Almost all major touristic sites in Brussels are within walking distance. If the hot water situation would be improved, I would give 10 marks to the Hotel.

I loved my stay here. The location was convenient, a 15 min walk to the main area. The room was beautifully presented and clean and coming into an air-conditioned room was fantastic after a very hot day of sightseeing. The staff were also lovely, I would stay here again in the future.

This was difficult to rate The breakfast was great The location is good The staff are nice The price was very high the first day because of some surge pricing in Brussels- rest of the days were acceptable The issues The wifi is open just like any restaurant so you will need VPN software - they have a secure wifi for the staff and in took 3 days to advise me that I would not get access to it There was a wifi repeater in room 114 behind the TV. It should have been in a hallway or elsewhere There was some water damage on the walls Bathtub was too high and hard to get into. Glass door to the tub could only open one way because the tub was too high Room configuration was strange and too narrow -maybe that is why we got our room early Get a VPN before you travel and book early. Brussels seems to get full quickly
