Reviews and Ratings
The hotel has a genuine character and scruffy charm, close to the main Ixelle backbone. The rooms were very comfortable, with a clean bed but too warm during exceptional weather since there was no air conditioning. The service was a mixed bag with some very courteous and helpful staff but lacking friendliness in some areas. The location was near to the center and my conference building, making it convenient, though there was some proximity to an area with suspected prostitution. The dining experience was really good, especially with the nice garden view. Facilities were adequate without any standout features.
The hotel had some noisy disturbances from outside, didn't match the room shown in pictures, but still impressed with cleanliness. The key access in the room was a unique touch, adding to the overall experience. The location was ideal for shopping and city exploration, despite some privacy issues.
The hotel's location in the new area was a bit inconvenient, with rooms on a small patio in the middle of the bar/restaurant area lacking proper soundproofing. The weather made the rooms very warm and stuffy, leading to a soaked and always-wet bathroom.
My stay at the hotel was quite nice, with rooms that were a bit small compared to the average size in Brussels but still pleasant. The service was really nice and helpful, especially after expressing my concerns. The location was great, easily accessible to bus and metro, and close to markets and stores. The dining experience, while limited, offered okay options for breakfast. Overall, a decent value for money.
The hotel offers spacious and characterful rooms that are clean and reasonably priced. The service is efficient and friendly, contributing to a pleasant stay. Its location is perfect for both leisure and business travelers, with easy access to public transport and attractions. The dining options are varied and of good quality, although some might find the prices slightly high for what is offered.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were clean, comfortable, and had everything I needed, plus having a terrace and a garden was a nice touch. The service was exceptional, with friendly and helpful staff always ready to assist. The location was perfect for my needs, close to the center and near my conference building. The dining experience was outstanding with fresh products and plenty of choices, although a bit pricey. Overall, a great value for money!
The hotel is ideally located near the center and within walking distance to the EU quarters, offering a quiet street ambiance with easy access to great restaurants and shopping. The rooms are on the darker side and lack natural daylight, making it less ideal for business travelers who need good lighting. The service is efficient and friendly, although some may find the housekeeping a bit intrusive. The dining options are considered insufficient for the price. The location is a standout feature with a cool retro vibe, but some may find it slightly dingy.
The hotel has everything we needed, but the rooms are a bit too small for a cozy feeling. The big bathroom with a spacious shower and a proper hairdryer was a plus. The service was accommodating and changed our booking dates due to flight issues, though the early morning noise was disruptive. The offbeat location offered genuine character and charm, close to the city center and shopping areas, but not without noise disturbances. Dining options were varied but slightly overpriced. The facilities were good, but the overall value for money was questioned.
The hotel, situated in a building with an interesting history, boasts quirky and narrow staircases and corridors. The rooms are tiny, barely big enough for the bed, and tend to be cold, but the staff was helpful by providing an extra radiator when needed. The service in this multicultural district of Elsene/Ixelles was very accommodating, including a last-minute change to our booking due to flight issues. The location, nestled in a side street of the city center, is convenient for shopping and exploring, although the area may seem a bit rough. The dining experience offers a variety of options, even though I didn't have time to fully enjoy it during my last visit.
The hotel is located in a lively area with good dining options nearby. The rooms were too warm due to exceptional weather, making it stuffy, but after requesting a change, I got a slightly better room. The service was efficient at resolving issues, but one encounter was unpleasant. The location is central to shopping areas but a bit of a walk from tourist spots. The dining experience offered quality food but lacked toasting bread. Facilities were average with good dining options.
The hotel offers stylish rooms with a pleasant Belle Epoque/Art Nouveau atmosphere, featuring big comfortable beds and a very clean environment. The location is amazing, in a vibrant part of the city close to a metro station, ideal for both leisure and business travelers. The dining experience is outstanding with fresh products and lots of choices, but the area lacks privacy in the Louise district.
The hotel had its ups and downs. While the room I stayed in was absolutely fantastic and the nicest I've ever experienced in Brussels, it was a bit dark and noisy, not ideal for longer stays. The service was excellent and very professional, with the staff being friendly, efficient, and multilingual. The location was perfect for shopping, city exploration, and enjoying a vacation. However, the dining experience was not worth the money with limited options, and the noise from outside, kitchen, and local building works was a downside.
