    great breakfast
    rain-drop shower
    quiet street

    A lekker stay in Brussels 🇧🇪

    The brekkie spread was on point, lekker croissants and dude, the rain-drop shower was killer! The staff were super friendly and even helped me out with my luggage after check-out. Plus, it's not far from the metro, so easy to get around!

    The street was a bit quiet and felt sketchy at night, so just be careful, you know?

    sketchy location
    dirty hallways

    The hotel is located on a very sketchy street, made me uncomfortable at times. The hallways were not clean, and it seemed like the maintenance staff neglected this area throughout my two days there. The distance from downtown is not ideal for those who prefer a short walk to attractions.

    A very modern and clean hotel with a very fancy design - the room was spacious and very well lit. The staff was friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet was good and plentiful.

    This is a designer gone mad hotel - the colour scheme is blue and white - and square - even things that should definately not be square are so! Like the toilet seat and the door nobs. The door to the bathroom is a sliding glass door! The whole thing seemed more about design than functionality - which is not what you want on a family holiday. There were no easychairs in the room - only a office chair.

    Wide ranging breakfast with fresh fruit, a bowl of grapes, many pastries, gentle employees. Particularly good and unbeatable location, a minute walk from Porte de Namur. Very very nice area near to the brand name stores, and all the main attractions.

    A great hotel - convenient location, trendy design, friendly helpful staff, rooms were clean and comfy and also very quiet, and the breakfast that was included was also excellent. Would highly, highly recommend this hotel.

    Not easy to find parking, but that is a problem in Brussels generally - not necessarily just with this hotel.

    thoughtful gestures
    unique art installations
    limited proximity
    minimal facilities

    The staff's thoughtful gestures, like bringing us coffee during our check-in delay, made the experience lovely. The unique art installations around the hotel added an enjoyable twist to our stay.

    I appreciated the free wifi and the breakfast included in hotel price. Would like to have wifi in the room though, as it is far more practical for business travellers.

    Just a suggestion. The hotel should keep normal prices to build a steady customer list of business travellers.

    room location

    The Twin Room was spacious and had a cozy vibe, with comfortable bedding, made it easy to relax after a day of exploring. I really enjoyed the breakfast. It was consistently refilled with fresh options like warm croissants and delicious cheeses. The staff were attentive to guests' needs. Plus, the hotel is just a 15-minute walk to the center, with shops and restaurants nearby.

    Wi-Fi coverage was spotty in my room.

    Charming, Charming, Charming

    I was mesmerized by the unique blue sculpture adorning the lobby, it adds a cool twist to the environment. The extensive breakfast buffet had delicious gluten-free options. Plus, I loved grabbing complimentary coffee from the 24-hour coffee station while mingling with other guests!

    would recommend 😊❤️
