This hotel stay surprised me in a good way. It's not your typical hotel... hugely sustainable including the shuttlecock l-made lamps. The service was exceptional and the breakfast delicious.

Awesome Experience

This hotel was perfect, fairly quiet street but close to shopping and center square. My son and I were made to feel comfortable and the staff was very attentive. Lastly, the rooms were so quiet and able to sleep at night. Definitely would recommend this hotel!

Daniel, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Spacious rooms and love the customized layout of the room (beanbag for extra sitting space, extra hooks, full length mirror, multiple lamps for cozy ambience). Very stylish room and had a comfortable stay. Close to Rogier train station and walkable to Grand Place and main sightseeing spots. Will recommend!

Superb location, superb place

The bed was super comfortable and the decor was clean, modern and environmentally friendly

8/10 Very good

Coming by train to the station Gare du Nord it‘s pretty well reachable. Even well placed for discovering the city. The hotel is lovely designed, clean and the service and the hospitality was on a good and friendly level. I‘ll come again.
Bernd, 4-night trip

4/10 Fair

Room was way too small but major issue was that they would not clean it without charging for it. Spent 3 nights there. 1 night would have been okay but not more. Entrance and elevator very shabby, old carpet worn floor of elevator. They claim to be new and all remodeled but did not see it. Staff downstairs was friendly. Breakfast which is extra was decent. Area of hotel is a bit seedy. Would not recommend. Much better stays elsewhere.

6/10 Good

I stayed for almost one week for business purposes. The hotel location was very convenient to my work place. The staff were very friendly, the older lady in the breakfast was amazing. Although she did not speak English, she made you feels very welcomed. They did not have a dedicated receptionist desk, but there was staff from the bar looked over the people who want to check-in/check-out. The room was rather small, full of fancy furniture but not functional to my taste. No wardrobe, and most the concerning: zero room cleaning (despite I was promised that they will clean the room every 3rd day). There is a fundamental different between being environmental friendly and simply being simply unhygienic and ignorant. The breakfast room always super congested around 8 am. It did not bother me much as I tend to come early, but there were few days where I felt it was so bad to the point of not being fair to the customers who have paid for the breakfast (and seems the manager did not understand this). The room price was rather expensive, even for Brussels' standard. In general, it was an OK stay, but not great.

Walkable, Safe & Friendly Staff

The location of the hotel was awesome. It was very walkable to all places and I felt safe walking around the city. The staff was amazingly nice and very helpful. The service in the small cafe was amazing. The room was a decent size.
Nicole, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Brilliant hotel, welcoming staff, stylish rooms

Brilliant hotel, would happily stay there again and would recommend it to anyone. The staff were so lovely and welcoming, the rooms were very nice, and it had a nice cafe and bar downstairs. Some of the light switches in the rooms were a bit odd, not very user friendly but this was literally my only negative, we were so happy there.
Hannah, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Absolutely beautiful and modern hotel. Fantastic staff. I had a wonderful stay. Would definitely come back again! HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
Natalie, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great place to stay with lots of shops, places to eat and transport nearby. The hotel is amazing, the rooms are decorated in different tones of browns and biege which look really good. My only complaint is that the rooms are only serviced every 3 days, whilst I do not expect the towels and bedding to be changed every day I do expect the bed to be made, I did not spent nearly €1200 for 7 nights and then have to make the bed myself for 6 ig the 7 nights.
Alan, 7-night trip

The usual

Stayed at the usual for a work trip. I very much enjoyed my stay. The room was clean and well-maintained, the staff was friendly. Despite facing the street there was virtually no noise.

Nice hotel, recently renovated but the shower was problematic, all my luggage got wet because the corner of the shower had a leak.
Diana, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

An't open windows at all in any of their rooms

Can't open windows whatsoever in this hotel so if i'd known i would never have booked it. Also breakfast is expensive and really limited.
