Le Dixseptieme

I don't think I can rate the hotel highly enough! My partner and I stayed for three nights and it was a lovely experience. We stayed in a standard patio room on the third floor and the room was massive: more like a suite than a room! It was comfortable, very clean, and really nicely decorated. There was loads of small touches that were really nice, like good quality toiletries, and nice bathrobes and slippers.||The staff were all friendly and helpful and made us feel welcome. The hotel is in a great location, really close to the Central station, the Grand Place, and lots of great shops. Although it is located on a busy street, the hotel was really peaceful in the night.||I would very highly recommend the hotel! I can't believe how nice it was considering how affordable it is!

We just spent two days in Brussels and stayed at the very well-reviewed Le Dixseptieme. Given the reviews, we were a bit disappointed in our room and stay. There were positives. The room was very spacious with a lovely sitting room and it also had a very large outdoor patio. The bed was quite comfortable. However, the bathroom was very disappointing. The toilet seat would not stay up, and as we are two men, it was really annoying for a four-star hotel. The toilet also did not seem to be properly bolted and wobbled and was pushed against the radiator. The shower head was small and didn't have any pressure as part of a large tub that you had to step into (not completely uncommon in Europe). When we check in, the hotel clerk gave us the idea that she needed to hurry firing information about the hotel at us while I was still filling out paperwork. The room is part of an annex and you have to exit the main area, take a few stairs outside, and then go up a very small elevator. That was workable and we were fortunate we didn't get any rain as that would have been a nuisance in the rain. We would not stay here again.

We stayed here in April 2025. I loved this hotel. It was very close to the station and a perfect location in the centre of Brussels. The room itself felt very luxurious with a beautiful big bed and lovely bedding. The room had a separate room to sit where you could make coffee/tea or have drinks and snacks from the mini bar. You were provided with a bathrobe, slippers, very fluffy towels, pen and writing paper. The bathroom was in marble and had ample toiletries and a hairdryer. The entrance to the reception is very grand and there was a room just off to the side of the reception where you can sit and have a drink (although we didn't use this facility). Our room was located through a courtyard. As we were leaving the hotel very early the next morning, we didn't have breakfast but I imagine it would have been to the same standard as the rest of the hotel. We will definitely stay here again when we visit Brussels.

Cannot say enough good things about this hotel. It is tucked away….a nice long entrance/foyer off of a busy street…and the street noise and activity are never a problem. There were some fireworks/crowds running around the first afternoon we were there but the hotel locked the entrance to the street and you never felt threatened. You are in the heart of a beautiful busy area of Brussels and feet away from eating spots and shopping. The staff speaks English and is always willing to help in any way. The breakfast was wonderful thought we took the opportunity to walk down the street and enjoy some Belgian waffles on 2 occasions. Their lobby is like a cozy den at home….location and hotel are perfect!

I really wanted to like this hotel, especially because the reviews seemed great. But unfortunately I was completely and totally disappointed. On the good side, the location is great and the common areas are quaint and nicely decorated. But on the negative side, the quality of rooms varies drastically. I booked 2 rooms, a deluxe and a standard. I didn't expect them to be the same quality, and the deluxe was nice (similar to a nice Marriott room). But the Standard Garden room was worse than a highway motel. It was surprisingly bad. Mold and stains everywhere, warped and slanted flooring. The radiator in bathroom had rust stains and was up against toilet seat. The toilet was loose and it rocked when you sat on it. The curtains didn't close all the way and let in the bright lights that were right outside. I really was shocked at how low the quality was. The service of the front desk personnel was inconsistent. The person who checked us in was extremely nice. The next person we dealt with was very rude. The person who check us out was nice. A couple other nitpicky things to be aware of: although it says it has an elevator, there were still several stairs to negotiate to get to our room. Also, I asked 3 times (at booking, again a few weeks before trip, and once again a day prior to checkin) that our rooms be as close together as possible. They ended up being in completely different wings of the hotel.

Spent a very agreeable weekend in Brussels with the family. The hotel’s location can’t be faulted; right in the historic centre, near the museums and next to the Central station for easy access to the rest of the city. The hotel is quiet and the rooms comfortable. However, I felt it was a bit overpriced for what it was, especially the slightly disappointing buffet breakfast, but maybe that’s just me. It also doesn’t have a bar, or not one in the conventional sense, though there are plenty within a stonesthrow.||It has a bit more character than the large chain hotels nearby and a slightly quirky layout, being some old, grand houses that have been remodelled.

Wonderful boutique hotel in the center of Brussels. Our Standard Double Room (Garden) was huge and included a terrace, and we felt pampered considering the room price. Conveniently located just two blocks to The Grand Place and Royal Gallery of Saint Hubert shopping area, and one block to Brussels-Centraal train station, Le Dixseptieme is right in the center of town with many restaurants and chocolate stores nearby. Would definitely stay here again.

Travelling to Brussels for the second time in a decade hardly suggests that a habit has been formed. However, it’s now true to say that we stay at this hotel every time we come. For a city that has become known universally but unfairly as a place of bureaucratic obfuscation, our keenness to return was informed by its friendliness, architecture and ambience, galleries and museums, shops and restaurants. Curiously, it remains a ‘find’ in a crowded field and it doesn’t overcharge for the experience. This extremely well located hotel is club like, with a small elegant reception area and direct access to some of the city’s glories. |The room was a kind of masterpiece itself with wooden floors, outdoor seating, excellent lighting and bathroom facilities that worked - water pressure, fluffy towels and amenities. Breakfast was a bit mediocre with poorly cut fruit, a sad bain marie of unappetising scrambled eggs and other limited offerings. But the dining room is elegant and it was a comfortable place to linger and spend time with an old friend over limitless coffees. After one night, our trip ended as we collected our luggage later in the day for a taxi ride to the airport. A car was conjured up immediately and we were on our way. Having only hand luggage, we had a couple of extra shopping bags with us.

One of the best hotels I've ever stayed in. Rooms are a good size service is impeccable just a 2 minute walk to the grand palace.

The staff/manager are not very friendly or helpful. The rooms are clean and interesting. It is located in a great area!

I stayed at this hotel for one day and it was great. The location of this hotel is perfect - right in the center of the most happening part of Brussels. Streets around it are lined with bars and restaurants. Staff was friendly and helpful. the room was clean and modern and yet retained its artistic old world charm. My only critique of the place is that they didn't have a hair conditioner and the bathtubs got pretty slippery. Other than that, it was perfect.

This hotel was a great find. **Room was great. We got a "superior suite" in the classic section, it was 2-floors and lots of old stonework and exposed wood beams, with original art and sculptures. Tons of space, 2 sofa's that each pull out into a full-size bed, plus a bedroom upstairs. **Location: perfect. Right on the Place D'Espagne, a 2 minute walk from the Grote Markt, maybe an 8-minute walk from the Fine Arts museum complex up the hill. **Price - expensive. Those "steep discounts on weekends" that Brussels is supposed to be famous for didn't materialize, but it was at least a discount off of the rack rate. **Breakfast - top notch. One batch of croissants was literally hot out of the oven - as in, they bake them onsite. Full euro brekafast bar, with eggs, bacon, MEATS, cheese, fruit, yogurt, etc. They serve it from 7-10ish. **One complaint - the upstairs bed was 2 twin beds pushed together. I only associate that with cheap hotels. I was about to ding them a star for it but ... The night before we checked out, I asked advice about airport taxi the next day. She said that it would cost 30 Euro's with all our bags (turned out it was 50 Euros, but we may have gotten a nicer private car, which was fine). She asked us what time our flight was, and we said 10, we'll get to the airport at 8. After consulting with her colleague, she strongly advised us to arrive 3 hours prior, per airport guidelines. THEN, they offered to open the breakfast a half hour early, at 6:30, so we could eat and still arrive for our flight on time. So there's that star again. :-)

We loved this place. Right in the center of the old part of Brussels and literally 5 minutes from the train station. Compared to Paris and Amsterdam, it was an absolute steal. Friendly, helpful staff. Wonderful breakfast. Our room was huge. The sitting room was bigger than our entire hotel room in Paris. The bedroom was bigger than our bedroom in Paris. The bathroom was bigger than our bedroom in Paris. And we had a private outdoor patio. And, yes, it was bigger than our entire bedroom in Paris. Quiet at night. An amazing, modern bathroom, Internet, cable TV. The only thing smaller than at our hotel in Paris was the bill. We absolutely hated checking out and moving on.

As an almost full time traveler, I am a business member with most major hotel chains/conglomerates. Usually, when travelling internationally, I use Yelp or TripAdvisor to assist with finding the highest rated hotels. For some reason or other, Le Dixseptieme was the highest rated hotel (only 4 reviews) in the Brussels area. I did not think it was even close. Cons first... 1. There is no parking associated with this hotel. If you have a car, you can park it at the Grote Markt Underground parking lot about 1.5 blocks from the hotel for 14.9 Euro/24 hours. 2. Every room has AC but you have to contact the front desk to turn it on. 3. The room had no shampoo/conditioner. 4. The shower handle was completely broken in the tub area allowing some pretty weird looking bugs to run out through the holes and into the bathroom. 5. The high price is associated entirely with the fact that a) its located right next to the Grand Palace and b) apparently the building is, itself, a historic monument... although I'm not sure why. 6. The standard eggs/bacon/cheese/bread breakfast is 20Euro. 7. Weak WiFi Here are the pros... 1. The Reception was very friendly/helpful and ready to assist whenever called upon. 2. You really cant beat the location. Its 2 blocks from Grand Palace! 3. The rooms have a nice little couch area for music/reading. I would not rate this a four star hotel, maybe a 3 star (?), however you cant beat the location. I wouldn't recommend this hotel to others. I never thought I say this but somehow the Best Western has become a luxury brand outside the US and you can stay there (right across the street from the Le Dix) for the same price and a plethora of additional amenities.

We stayed at Le Dixseptieme for 4 nights in Sept 2015. Our reasons for being a fan are the location, size of the room and the relatively low cost for the room. The hotel is a very short walk from the Brussel Central station which is very good for arrivals and departures. We were in the "new" section of the hotel (The old part was once a residence.) The room had plenty of room and faced into the courtyard and was therefore quiet. However, it is where folks smoke and if you opened your windows you sometimes smoke with them. A warning if you have mobility issues. To get to the new section we had to navigate two small stairs cases and pass through an outdoor courtyard. There is a small elevator between floors. However, it is quiet small. As we saw noted in other reviews on the web, the hotel lacks in terms of friendliness. Some of this is due to the layout. You enter through a hallway like passage. To get to anything that looks like a lobby, you must turn through a non disrupt door where the desk clerk sits behind a desk and is hard to see. It makes interaction difficult at best. The breakfast seemed expensive with nothing special to draw us in. o, we ate at other area restaurants and git a larger variety for less money.

Five star service and amenities, perfect quiet location steps from the hubbub of the square. Huge room and great bathroom, excellent service. Very charming, would definitely recommend.
