The hotel was in the city center, but the rooms were not located in the main building, next to a noisy lift. The service was efficient but lacked help with luggage. The location was very near to the station but noisy due to nearby bars. The dining area was overpriced and lacked privacy. Overall, a mixed experience with some drawbacks.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of good and not-so-good experiences. The room, although clean and with a good-sized bed, was located above a food shop which caused some unpleasant smells in the stairwell. Despite the small bed size, it was comfortable, but a bit tricky for restless sleepers. The service was outstanding, the staff was knowledgeable and friendly, making my stay enjoyable. The location was superb, right in the city center with easy access to public transport, ideal for exploring the city. Dining was average, nothing extraordinary, and a bit pricey for what was offered.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the rooms were small and made it hard to sleep, the location in the heart of Brussels was very convenient. The service was friendly and helpful, and the dining options were decent but a bit overpriced. The hotel's close proximity to the train station and the Christmas market was a bonus.

The hotel is situated facing the main road, with rooms that are quite small but clean. While the room size was just enough for a double bed, the lighting was poor. The staff, especially those on the late shift, were brilliant and full of fun, always very helpful and in a great mood. The location is extremely central, close to all city attractions and within a 5-minute drive to the station and main restaurant street. The dining options were good and nutritious, offering a variety of choices.
