This hotel, to be very frank, while centrally located in Brussels and easily accessible via Metro; that's pretty much all the positives I can think of.
Service: I was greeted, acknowledged for my status tier and was told that an upgrade was available but that the only difference would be the addition of a coffee maker and welcome amenity. The aforementioned was provided to my non upgraded room. I opted for the $10 daily food and beverage credit, to which the Front Desk Agent was able to provide for two.
The Room: it was standard and comfortable but that was about it. The biggest drawback was not being able to lower the in room temperature to below 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Even with the heater unit off, the room still felt extremely humid. At one point in the night, and I was woken up to my friend attempting to open the windows that were sealed shut. Even coming back in the evening after a full day of exploration, the room still felt extremely warm. We had phoned the Front Desk and an agent came to our room promptly to address the situation. Initially the agent felt that the room should cool down if we leave the heater unit off. As the room still felt extremely warm, and the agent unable to guarantee that the room would cool down; we were offered to change rooms. And so we did.
The Morning After: well, the new room also felt extremely warm throughout the night. Upon my departure of the hotel, I was told that unfortunately the temperature settings cannot go below 60 degrees Fahrenheit, as it is normally much colder in January and so the heaters are meant to negate the colder temperatures. Not the greatest answer to hear as much of night was sweaty.
The hotel served a purpose for my time in Brussels but that I may not stay here again in the future. read more
