I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were spacious, clean, and had big windows allowing for fresh air, despite the freezing weather outside. The service was exceptionally helpful, and the location was perfect for exploring on foot. However, the dining experience was a bit confusing regarding breakfast timings, and there was some distance to reach the main market square for dining options.

The hotel is quite comfortable, clean, and modern, reminiscent of Parisian rooms, with a somewhat hit-or-miss breakfast experience. The staff is helpful and friendly, although some delays were experienced with replenishing items. The central location is convenient, close to the major train station and various attractions, but the breakfast facilities fall short. Dining options are decent but could use some improvement, especially in communication regarding breakfast timings. Dining outside the hotel is recommended for a better experience.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms, despite some smell due to renovations behind the reception, were quite dark even with many lamps, but overall, it's one of the best hotels I've stayed at in Brussels. The service, especially considering the freezing weather outside, was exceptional with friendly and helpful staff attending to my needs. The location was very convenient, close to the center by metro or walking, though in a rather characterless area. The dining options were minimal but satisfactory, and the facilities provided a decent stay.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room, although a bit cold upon arrival, offered a nice view of the boulevard. The service, while overall helpful, had a small hiccup with my bedroom door left open. The location was convenient, within walking distance of central Bruxelles and major European Commission venues. The breakfast had a limited variety and some confusion over closing time, impacting the overall dining experience.
