I stayed at this hotel from 15–18 2026February . I normally prefer Sofitel and Accor properties and have always been satisfied with the brand. However, this stay was a serious disappointment.

Unfortunately, the rest of the experience was not ...

Very smart, comfortable hotel, ideally located for the European quarter. Rooms are spacious with a generously sized and well-light desk, as well as a separate armchair. Good gym, open 24 hours and very clean. Good breakfast with proper Belgian waffles. I will definitely return.

I had a fantastic experience thanks to the outstanding staff. I accidentally left my laptop in my room and only realised after I’d checked out and already left Brussels. Clara and Eva went above and beyond to help me – they organised for my laptop to be sent to my next hotel, and it actually arrived before I did! I’m incredibly grateful for their kindness, efficiency and care. This level of servi...
