By and large, it was comfortable base for sightseeing in Brussels, had much fun and met amazingly nice and accommodating staff from my reservation to the check out. Had good sleep at the standard double room with queen size bed and attached bathroom plus tea kettle. The location was stunning, just a short stroll away from a modern shopping mall. There were a shopping street and a market around the hotel.

Beautifully decorated and truly exceptional place, proactive staff with a member of their staff. Magnificent and wonderful location in Brussels and minute walk from a subway station. Situated only 1 km from Rue Neuve.

Ideal place, it was reasonably clean and had pleasant staff from my reservation. The location was UNBEATABLE, relatively near a comic-book museum. And I were near several take-away shops, a grocery store and a minute walk from the tram stop.

This was a really really nice stay for a business trip. Our standard king room was equipped with modern bathroom, double bed, a nice view. We thoroughly enjoyed being minutes away from the train station.
The staff - some of them were not so helpful.

All of the staff was very professional and absolutely courteous. This hotel was located in a central area close to a Carrefour Express shop and the transportation. Sint-Joost-ten-Node district was worth visiting.
Shame the bathroom was smelly.
