An Inside Look at The Dominican

It is the kind of place you know you want to come back to, the kind of place that makes you feel nostalgic for it as soon as you’ve left. The Dominican is an unforgettable place. Its interior is unique, its comfort exquisite and its location perfect. Set in central Brussels, the hotel stands on what was a Dominican abbey in the 15th century, and after 1800 the famous neo-classicist painter Jacques-Louis David had his home here. Now, nestled among the golden gables in the heart of Brussels, it has become a luxurious 21st-century luxury hotel, offering a unique combination of historical elegance and modern design.

The Dominican takes special requests – add in the next step!

눉The bed is a bit uncomfortable. It wasn't like I couldn't sleep. But it isn't a comfortable bed. It is this sad thin bed on a much better bed frame. The Gregorian chants at the elevator and the hallways are a bit much. My room was very clean overall. But there was a tiny patch of uncarpeted floor (rest of the room is quite big and carpeted) that wasn't cleaned during my 2 night stay. The carpeted area and the bathroom were very clean otherwise. It wasn't clear where to leave the towels to get them changed. But I was provided with plenty of towels to begin with so it wasn't a huge problem.
눇The location is excellent. It is very central. It is 5 minute walk away from Centraal Station, 30 seconds walk away from Galeries Royales Saint-Hubert, 1 minute walk away from Rue Neuve with all the shops, and 5 minute walk away from Grand Place. Yet, it is not in the middle of all the tourist-y hustle and bustle. The bathroom is amazing. The room has a Nespresso machine which is always a plus. The bathrobes are actually nice. The waterfall shower is amazing. There are plenty of places to sit besides the bed in the room, along with enough storage space.

눉Although the concept of Dominican is nice the Gregorian chant start to bother after a while. I was surprised that every time we asked for something to be brought to our room, we had to call again after 15' as it wasn't delivered. Also when we arrived at the room most lamps where disconnected and the aircon was not working properly.
눇Very good central location to access most of the interesting sites by foot.
