In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
3 reasons to book- Hard to beat for location — A five-minute walk to Congress Column, and close to the Grand Place, the comic-book museum, and the main shopping streets. A metro stop is right nearby.
- Helpful, professional staff — Reviewers single out the front office and reception team as friendly and efficient, from check-in to helping print a boarding pass.
- Comfortable, well-equipped rooms — Guests mention modern, spacious rooms with effective air conditioning, minibars, and some with terraces or balconies. The walk-in shower got a special mention.
–
Worth weighing
3 to weigh- A 3-star base, not a luxury stay — The hotel is rated 3 stars, and some guests note that rooms can be compact or dated in places. The dining score of 6 out of 10 suggests the breakfast is decent, not standout.
- No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a dog or cat, this hotel won't work – the policy explicitly bans pets.
- Check-in window is strictly 15:00–23:59 — If you're arriving late, especially after midnight, you may need to plan around this. The hotel doesn't advertise a 24-hour front desk for late arrivals.
