Le Dixseptieme

Beautiful boutique hotel. we stayed in Brussels for one night and this was the perfect stop. We came via train which is only a 4 minute walk to the hotel and the same to the center of Brussels near the Grand Palace. We had the Garden suite which was large spacious and so comfortable. the bathroom was huge with heated floors with separate sinks as well as towels bathrobes etc. A jacuzzi tub was in the center with skylights. The hotel personnel were fabulous and spoke English! we highly recommend this hotel if staying in Brussels

This delightful hotel is right in the heart of historic Brussels and the perfect place to stay for a short break to visit Brussels. The staff were very friendly and helpful, breakfast was good and the service efficient. We stayed in the top floor room at the back called Permeke which has its own sitting area and doors out into a private verandah (too cold for us to use this). We would stay here again when visiting Brussels.

I only regret not staying here for longer! It's a wonderful hotel at a great location in the city. The only hitch is that a car won't be able to drop you off at the entrance because it's located in a pedestrian area, but it's only like half a block away from the street. You can easily walk to all the major tourist attractions in the city center, and the train station and subway lines are also nearby.|The rooms and service were all impeccable. It was the perfect place to stay while in Brussels.

We flew in on a very early morning flight. We checked our luggage at the hotel and were able to get in early at a little after noon. The staff were exceptionally warm and helpful. The rooms were HUGE and beautiful. ||The bed was exceptionally comfortable… and the pillows the best I’ve ever had at a hotel. ||We heard no noise from the street and the location was incredible. ||We took the train from airport and the hotel is an easy 4-5 minute walk. Taxi arranged by hotel for us to go back to hotel. ||Will definitely stay here again. It is a very unique and beautiful hotel.

What an hotel! It locates at the very heart of Brussels. 3 min to grand palace of Brussels by walking. The room was at the roof, which was very clean, comfortable. highly recommended!

The rooms are good here, the mattress especially comfortable. Cracking rainshow, generous bathroom and good TV offering if you need to stay in. The lobby is a lovely space to spend a bit of time in - life goes by outside whilst you’re ensconced on comfy sofas. The breakfast is modest but does the job (you won’t want to eat much on a city break because there are so many eateries around and you’ll want to save space for the fries and the waffles). ||Very close to the La Grand Place with a cute bar next door full of atmosphere created by attentive staff.||The day coverage at reception is professional, efficient and charming. The evening and overnight staff grumpy, belligerent and incredibly unhelpful. We asked for a drink in the lobby at around 6pm on Saturday night and received a list of personal details informing us why our request was unreasonable. Don’t let this put you off though because this is a gorgeous little secret of a hotel that guarantees a good nights sleep, in a property that oozes charm and makes you feel a little bit special. ||Take the train to and from Brussels Midi - 3 minutes as opposed to 25 in a taxi.

- Location is amazing: This hotel is incredibly well placed. Roughly 2 minutes walk from Gare Central, and also 2 min from Grand Place. Everything that matters in Brussels is a stone throw away.|- Hotel is gorgeous: This a 17th century building. That means it’s gorgeous. That however comes at a cost. Elevators do not service every floor so watch out if you have heavy luggage because they don’t have a bellman to help you.|- Our room was big: We booked a big room. By big I mean 3 times the size of a normal European hotel room. It was beautiful and bright.|- Breakfast was so so: the breakfast is good if you are having it for couple days. Selection is limited so it gets pretty boring if you stay longer.|- Internet is awful: I will probably never stay in this property again even though it is quite nice. Our room had horrible internet access. By bad I mean, speed at less than 2G, if it worked and it mostly didn’t. By the end of the trip the reception gave us a portable hot spot which somehow helped. Management blamed it on building being old but truly in this day an age no internet access is deal breaker for me.

Stayed here for a quick anniversary trip with my husband. We booked the garden suite for two nights and a "romance" package. From even before we arrived, the staff were helpful and kind. I asked them to print a little special sign as a surprise for my husband and place it in the room and they were very obliging. During the stay, staff was helpful and attended to our needs very well. The hotel's location cannot be beat. It's across the street from the Brussel Centraal metro station and about a block from the historic center. We were able to walk everywhere we wanted with ease (we walked to Ave Louise from there - 30 min - and the famous summer fair - 25 min). The hotel itself is lovely. Admittedly, if you've got a lot of luggage (we did), it's a little hard to access the suite. You've got quite some stairs and an elevator to navigate. No porter service at the hotel. Not really a big deal for us, being able to ferry our own bags, but it could present a problem for anyone who struggles with mobility. The suite was fantastic. The terrace is cute, the jacuzzi is awesome (the bathroom is shockingly big and has a heated floor) and the bed is exceptional. We also really enjoyed the separate couch space because my husband and I don't always sleep at the same time, so I could sleep while he stayed awake. We would, for a special occasion, most certainly stay here again. It's pricey, but I booked the biggest suite in the middle of Brussels, so I can't really complain!

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.
