    -A/c-heating system the first night was so noisy I asked reception to switch it off for the subsequent nights. -Room 301 has no light as it faces the inner court yard of the building. -No free water in the room. -Not enough hangers in the cupboards. -Not enough lights in the room, the main room light is too dim. -The rods in the bathroom to hang the hand towels keeps falling down so I could not use it.

    Location excellent. Fast check in and check out.

    There was a smell as soon as you enter the hotel. You couldn't easily find a table for breakfast, as tables weren't regularly cleaned.

    Next to metro, very good location.

    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

    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.
