We Loved This Gem Of A Hotel in Brussels.
"Wonderful welcome by the reception team. We had a corner room on the 14th floor which had large windows with magnificent views over the city. We had lunch at a private function in the top floor restaurant. Again, excellent views and great service. We loved this hotel and will use again."

Usually this is a great place to spend a few days. However, all cafés, restaurants, museums etc are now closed because of the coronavirus, and non food shops are closed at weekends.

4/5 - Good

Brussels is a beautiful city with great architecture. Only downside is that it’s quite expensive there.

3/5 - Okay

A building site, lovely when finished I'm sure. Town centre a bit dirty sadly

5/5 - Excellent

Well hidden ‘secret’, an ‘unusual’ place to visit well worth visiting.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveller

The Sandemans free walking tour was a great way to get to know the main city sights - you just pay what you think it's worth :-) A quick visit the the EU parliament was interesting and very welcoming - so sad that the UK has left :-(
