We arrived on Monday 3rd March for a mini city break. Check in was smooth, we arrived early (arount 11am) with the intention of dropping off our bags so we could go explore while waiting to check in but we were advised our room was ready so early check in was no problem at all which was an unexpected delight! the ladies on reception are so warm and welcoming. we were given the key to our room, 418, i had booked a superior room on booking.com that advised a large room with a sofa, city view & higher level floor, room 418 did not deliver, while the room is modern and clean, it would not be a "superior" room in my opinion, its a standard room with some extra's, bathrobes, slippers & mini bar with some drinks. when i queried this at reception, the gentleman on reception was not very polite and his manner and customer service was not nearly as friendly as the rest of the staff we met for the duration of our stay, he told me that we payed a lot less than other people had as we booked through booking.com and i feel we were judged and placed in a lower standard room because of this. Moving on to the positives, the rest of the staff, from the discreet security, cleaners, breakfast staff etc were amazing, so friendly and accommodating. The breakfast is the best i have ever had in any hotel i have been to, my husband is a picky eater & he had so much choice and was not left hungry! such a wide variety of food and a very high quality too. everything is fresh and laid out beautifully, plenty of choice from continental to hot breakfast and the kitchen is open so you can see the food being prepared etc which is a nice touch. The location is perfect, in the heart of the city. We didn't use the spa this time but we went up for a look and oh my it is stunning, so beautiful, well laid out and the views of the city are amazing! we will be returning to Brussels as i have a friend living there and we will return to The Hotel again! thank you for a great experience!
