My stay at the hotel was overall enjoyable. The location was convenient, just a short walk from The Golden Palace and a quick drive to the train station. The rooms were comfortable, but the view overlooking the hotel's laundry area was not ideal. While the lack of fruit for breakfast was a downside, the room itself was clean and smoke-free.

The hotel has some great features like large rooms with comfy armchairs and great sound-proofing, but the rooms can get very hot to sleep in due to poor windows. The location is fantastic, close to the main attractions of Brussels, and provides a nice breakfast buffet, but some aspects of the dining experience could be improved. The service, while responsive in some cases like arranging for internet access, had some rude interactions which can be off-putting. Overall, it offers good value for a weekend getaway with friends or a short business trip.

My stay at the hotel was decent overall. The rooms were average and in need of some maintenance, but they served their purpose. The staff was friendly and helpful, making my stay pleasant. The location was convenient, close to many major sights and with good sound insulation. The dining options were limited, but the staff made up for it with their courtesy and assistance.

My room on the fiftieth floor was spacious and well-equipped with all necessary services. The temperature was just right, it was quiet, and the bed and pillows were comfortable. The only downside was the lack of air conditioning, and the view facing the main road leading up to the Grand Place and a local police station.

The service was just what I would expect in Brussels; friendly and the staff could speak several languages. While English didn't work during my check-in, I was able to communicate in Spanish.

The hotel rooms were bigger than expected and very clean, but the check-in process was slow and inefficient. The receptionists lacked enthusiasm and seemed disinterested in providing a good experience. The location was excellent, near the train station and with a rich breakfast, but some improvements are needed for modern needs. The dining experience was inconsistent, with one night being satisfactory while another was poor. On the upside, the hotel had good shower facilities and a choice of amenities, along with spacious lifts. The price offered decent value for money with various facilities available.

The hotel had a mixed experience. The rooms were small and cramped but very clean, and we appreciated being able to open the window at night. However, the check-in process felt rude as they seemed to prioritize other guests over us. The service was friendly and helpful, although there seemed to be an intentional delay during checkout. The location was excellent, near the city center and old town making it very walkable, but the staff's attitude was disappointing. The dining was good, with a wide variety of options, but some items were not promptly replenished. Overall, a stay with ups and downs.

The hotel had big, tidy rooms with comfortable beds right by the Main Street, offering good facilities like a fridge, TV, aircon, comfy beds, and a power shower all for a very cheap price. The service was a mix of rude behavior, especially making us wait for check-in due to a large group, and some friendly staff despite the hotel seeming old and lacking basic customer handling etiquette. The location was excellent, just a short walk to the Grand Place and surrounded by charming streets with plenty of bars and restaurants, although it's a bit far from the station but perfect for a good night's sleep. The dining experience was described as fantastic, offering almost everything one could want, particularly highlighting the croissants and fruit selection.
