The hotel had rooms that looked very different from our expectations. They were clean and well thought out despite some quality issues like used towels and a dirty toilet. The last-minute room allocation was disappointing, especially as we had booked five months in advance. The service was extremely friendly and helpful, particularly when my car's window was broken in an attempted theft nearby. The location was good, near the main square and train station, though the neighborhood seemed not so nice. The dining experience was surprisingly good with a variety of options. The facilities were acceptable overall.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were spacious and had a very large, comfortable bed, but only heated by a space heater, which was a bit of a drawback. The service was overall good, with polite and helpful staff, but the incident of laundry being thrown on the corridor floor was quite disrespectful. The location near Brussels Midi station was convenient for accessing the train station quickly, although it didn't feel too safe at night for solo travelers. The dining experience was decent, with globally inspired dishes but lacked some healthier options like oat flakes and dark bread. Overall, a reasonable stay with some ups and downs.

The hotel rooms are beautiful, a good size, and feature probably the nicest shower I’ve ever used in a hotel. However, being right next to the lift, it was noisy all the time. Despite that, the room had enough light and was a nice size with a flat-screen television.

The hotel is conveniently located near Brussels South station, but the area felt unsafe, especially during darker hours. The rooms were a bit cramped and basic, with a musty and mouldy smell. The service was friendly and accommodating, with an option to secure bicycles indoors. The dining experience was decent, with a rich variety but not the best quality. The location, although near the Eurostar terminal and Grand Place area, could pose safety concerns. The facilities were average, lacking notable amenities.

The hotel has its ups and downs. The rooms were spacious, well-designed with nice decor, but mine smelled musty and moldy, plus it was quite noisy being next to the elevator shaft. The service ranged from rude to wonderful, with some staff being very friendly and helpful. The location was a mix of super close to the center and the Midi station, but the surrounding area was a bit sketchy and frightening at night. The dining experience wasn't worth the money, except for a seriously yummy Pork Belly. Facilities were standard.

The hotel offers spacious, clean, and quiet rooms with Nuxe products provided; however, noise from upstairs movements could be disruptive. The service is kind, helpful, and efficient, but staff may need to address unruly guests. The location is practical, near the train station and main hub, though safety concerns arise at night. Dining at the hotel is a standout feature, offering good quality Indonesian dishes. The facilities are adequate, with room for improvement.

The hotel has a great location, very close to Gare de Zuid, and a short walk to Central Plaza. The rooms are spacious, bright, and clean with a loft window, but the floor vinyl could be cleaner. The service was accommodating and helpful, despite warnings about the neighborhood. The dining experience was good, offering a variety of choices. Overall, a convenient place to stay for sightseeing in Brussels.

The hotel offers great room decor and comfort but falls short in size compared to expectations. The service is generally friendly and quick, although some inconsistency can be encountered. The location is convenient for easy access to transportation, but safety may be a concern in the evenings. Dining options are satisfactory but may not always justify the cost.
