The hotel reception staff were very helpful and accommodating. We arrived earlier than expected, and the receptionist kindly tried to arrange an early check-in for us. Unfortunately, the rooms were not yet ready. They also assisted us by providing clear directions to the buses and trains.
Unfortunately, we didn’t get the chance to go downstairs and see what they offered for breakfast. I know it was available, but since we were always on the move, we ended up having breakfast elsewhere. The rooms were clean, spacious, and comfortable.

Great location and comfortable
Very convenient location and interesting as it forms part of the Galleries with shops, restaurants, cinema etc, just off the Grand Place. Helpful front desk too.

It’s a nice hotel if you like minimalism. No Kleenex, no hairdryer(ZI didn’t wash my hair for 2 days)), bathroom is claustrophobic as there are no vents. It’s a NY style decor making it look stylish with no comfort.
Beds and pillows were very clean and comfortable. Front desk Rodrigo was very helpful. Taxis cannot come to drop off or pick up so we had to lug our luggage to get there.

Amazing!
Location is perfect, with train station, sights, restaurants and shops all in walking distance. Super friendly staff with excellent restaurant recommendations. Woodpecker (rec by Lowiq) was amazing, we went 2x. Room is very clean and spacious for Europe standards. Highly recommended!

Fab hotel in a great central location, 5 minutes walk to central station and in the heart of some great bars and restaurants. 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!

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 !

Hotel was in a great location. Very quaint, small boutique place that was very quiet. Hotel staff were amazing. The only issue we had was finding the hotel because it had such a small sign. We would definitely stay again.
