Location was prime amazing. Facility is nice enough if it were kept up. But paint is cracked, floor of bathroom was stained. Shower couldn’t keep the water in the shower, it just splashed on the floor. Room 42 kings building. I’d stay here again, the location is that great. I just don’t think this is a 4 star hotel. It’s more like a nice 3 star establishment.

This is not a 4-star hotel. The best thing about this hotel is its location to Brussels central station. It otherwise was a poorly maintained property. In our room, the sheets were stained as was the shower floor. The bathroom walls were dirty and appeared to have rarely been cleaned. There was also a clearly visible footprint on the floor, raising questions as to whether the floor had been cleaned. We raised our concerns with the state of the room and, to the hotel’s credit, we were moved into another room. That room was certainly more clean. However, it’s clear the hotel is very low budget. There was no box of tissues, no hair conditioner or body wash, and no hair dryer. The only offerings were one bar of soap and shampoo. In my opinion, this hotel is akin to a Best Western or similar 3-star hotel.

It is a very nice hotel but wasn't obvious from the descriptiuon is that the street which the hotel is on is all cobblestone and very narrow and the taxis can not drive on it after 8:30 am, so our driver had to drop us off considerable far fro the hotel because of the traffic. All os the streets in area are cobblestone, so we had to drag out wheeled lugges over 6 blocks to the hotel. Fortunatley it didn't ruin the wheels. When we were leaving at 6 am, the taxi was able to stop right in front of the hotel. There is a wonderful cookie and waffle shop right beside it and we could always smell fresh cookies, it was very enticing and the shop if very good. The beds were firmer than what my travel companion and I like so we had to sleep on top of a duvet to make them softer. The location is very good and close to a lot of attractions and walking distance to the Central train station for day trips. Hot water pressure was good an always lots of hot water. wonderful restaurant across the street and Les Galleries for shopping is about 20 steps away.

Beautiful boutique hotel in a charming area of Brussels. The room was spacious with high ceilings, a freestanding deep bathtub and large shower! The room was clean and quiet. Be aware that the neighbourhood is pedestrians only so if taking a cab from the airport you will need to pull your luggage through the cobblestone streets.

Spacious room. We were in Europe 5 weeks and this place had the only very poor breakfast. We paid for it and still ate outside the hotel each morning. Food selection was limited and quality even worse. What a negative surprise. Staff was excellent !

We never saw the same person twice at the front desk, but everyone was friendly and helpful and spoke perfect English. Our room was simple but clean and bright, with a surprise little balcony. Location was GREAT for exploring Brussels; note that it is right next to/above a Maison Dandoy so it always smells amazing (like waffles and cookies). :-) Note that the hotel is only accessible by car during early morning and maybe also late at night —otherwise if taking a taxi/Uber you need to be dropped off or picked up at either end of the Royal Galleries and walk 500 feet or so over smooth pavers to the hotel entrance. There are metro stops ~15 minutes away in two directions. We would stay here again for sure.

Staff were super friendly and helpful with restaurant reservations etc. Lovely quiet room. Perfect location for visiting all the main tourist destinations in Brussels and easy access to Bruges and Ghent if you fancy a day out by train. Highly recommended!
