    The breakfast could be a bit better. The shower head was not comfortable to use. The internet speed could be faster.

    Very nice interior design of the historical building. Comfortable bed and clean room.

    The electronic lock that opens the entrance door to the hotel sometimes malfunctions.

    This is a cool, reasonably priced hotel, five minutes walk from the train station Brussels North and right next to the metro station Rogier. It is perfectly located both for business travellers and tourists. I have already stayed here previously and I was familiar with the location and the facilities, so I knew what to expect. The hotel is nicely decorated in the 'colonial' style, and the staff are very friendly and helpful. There was a strike at Brussels airport and my baggage was delayed for several days, but the hotel staff did everything they could to assist me. Much appreciated!

    There was construction noise starting quite early in the morning due to a massive construction project next door. The breakfast was fine but nothing special. The lift didn't work and I was told by repeat guests that it hasn't been working for months. It was not a problem for me and my small suitcase, but it would be a problem for older people or those with a lot of luggage.

    Room was nice and comfortable. Staff nice. Excellent location, just 3 min walk from Place Rogier and plenty of bus lines and a major subway station. Lots of restaurants within 10 min walking.

    Only the toilet facilities needs renovation, the sink can be flooded easily with water, you need to flush the toilet several time to be cleaned

    Everything is lovely

    The room I originally got had a strong smell and none of the lights worked. I was immediately relocated to another room, where everything was fine. It would be nice to remove rust stains in the toilet though.

    Beautiful room, great location, quiet.

    Nothing really.

    Very nice basic room and the breakfast was super good. Added bonus was the history of this hotel, which during WWII was used by the Nazis and then eventually by the Allied forces. Interesting.

    The bathtub was somehow narrow and it was not very comfortable to take a shower.

    I enjoyed the spacious sleeping room and bathroom with the historical design. The breakfast was excellent. The location was convenient in regard to the event where I took place, also silent. Easy reachable from North train station.

    There wasn’t any bin in the toilet which was super annoying especially for ladies. There wasnt any hair drier as well.

    The location was good. Close to the Nord station and 20 mins walk to city center. The room was clean enough.

    The bathroom shower does not have a light and, because of the configuration of the walls, it can be a bit dark. A few additional plugs installed in the room would be helpful as I could only find one free one on the same wall where the kettle was.

    Location is perfect. Everything works well in the room and the wi-fi is fast. Service provided by staff was great; I had a small problem with the light and A/C that were not working and the staff resolved it immediately after I brought it to their attention. The breakfast was of good quality and in a pleasant room.

    There was no fridge in the room. During my stay, there were some problems with the elevator and I had to walk to the fifth floor using stairs.

    The location right next to Place Rogier is very convenient. The room was quiet and comfortable. The hotel is placed in a historical building with a nice atmosphere.

    The lift was broken and so it was tiring to carry my suitcase up to the 3rd floor. The room didn't have a hairdryer, but fortunately, I had taken my own.

    The breakfast was very good and the staff nice and always willing to help. The bed was very comfortable. The hotel is very close to the city center.
