2. Key Highlights
Guests consistently laud Nhow Brussels Bloom for its innovative art-themed design, the vibrant and creative ambiance, and the excellent breakfast experience. The spacious and clean rooms are frequently mentioned, as is the friendly and efficient staff. Its location, offering easy access to public transport and cultural landmarks, is another significant highlight. The hotel encourages guests to be creative and explore, with facilities like an eighth-floor gym offering inspiring views and an "experience floor" with galleries and studios.
3. Room Quality
The hotel boasts 305 rooms and suites, each thoughtfully designed to replicate the appearance of an art gallery with bold artwork and custom-designed murals. Rooms are described as clean, spacious, and comfortable, with the smallest standard rooms being a generous 35 square meters. While sleeping areas feature minimalist furnishings and monochrome décor, the bathrooms are uniquely styled like photography darkrooms, some with moody color palettes and splashes of fluorescent paint. In-room amenities typically include a coffee machine, an oversized infinity work desk, an extra-wide flat-screen television, free Wi-Fi, and mini-fridges. Many rooms also offer impressive skyline views of the city. Some guests note the presence of hard floors instead of carpet.
4. Dining Experience
Dining at Nhow Brussels Bloom is a highlight for many. The extensive breakfast buffet, served in a large, bright space adorned with pop art murals, is a major draw. It features a wide selection of continental options, fresh fruit, made-to-order eggs, smoothies, granola, yogurt, and a unique "waffle van" where guests can make their own fresh Belgian waffles. The on-site restaurant, SMOODS, serves dinner with a menu inspired by local and international cuisine or street food, offering a variety of tasty dishes in a stylish setting. The hotel also features a trendy cocktail bar for evening drinks and nightcaps.
5. Service & Staff
Guest feedback frequently commends the "incredibly kind, friendly, and welcoming" staff. From smooth check-in procedures to attentive bar and reception staff, hospitality is a strong point. The cleaning staff is also noted for their kindness and efficiency. Guest Relations are available to assist with recommendations and local exploration.
6. Location & Accessibility
Nhow Brussels Bloom is conveniently located in the vibrant Botanique area, just minutes from Brussels' North Station and adjacent to Le Botanique, a cultural venue that was once the city's botanical gardens. While not directly in the city center, it offers excellent accessibility. The Botanique tram and metro stops are right outside, making it easy to explore the city. The Grand-Place, a major attraction, is about a 15-minute tram ride away, or a 20-minute walk from Gare du Nord. The hotel's position allows for easy access to various districts and green spaces, offering a peaceful city break.
7. Value & Pricing
Many guests consider Nhow Brussels Bloom to offer excellent value for money. The typical room rate in the past month has been around 113.04 EUR, which is slightly below the city's average of 124.27 EUR. Room prices can range from approximately $101 to $437, depending on the room type and booking provider. It is particularly recommended for "trendsetters on a budget" who appreciate fresh design at a reasonable price, especially when booking early.
8. Common Complaints
While largely positive, some recurring criticisms include slow check-in procedures, with some guests reporting wait times of 30-45 minutes and issues with bed allocations. Some guests have found room servicing to be disappointing at times. The pricing at the hotel bar is occasionally noted as "shocking" or high. A few guests have mentioned a lack of storage space and hangers in rooms. Furthermore, some find the location "a bit too far" from the Grand Place if walking is preferred, and the immediate neighborhood might not offer many interesting restaurants or shops right outside the hotel. One review also described a room as "terrible dark and depressive". For street-facing rooms, noise levels can be higher due to the hotel's vibrant heart of Brussels location. Lastly, some guests have noted that room service and gym access hours are limited, often closing past 10 PM, which can be inconvenient for late-returning travelers.
