The hotel is located in a traditional building, close to a park and 5 minutes walking distance from the Metro station Merode. It is not located in the city center, but the metro line at Merode gets you there in 5 minutes. The atmosphere in the hotel is welcoming and friendly. The room was middlesized and clean. Breakfast is served in a nice old style room and includes pastries, scrambled eggs and fruits, i.e. an upgraded continental breakfast. Around the Metro station you'll find a selection of different restaurants. In summary I would review it as average to good, but compared to many other hotels in Brussels it is well above average.

Spent 4 days here, and overall it wasn't too bad. The room was spacious for an individual, but the bed was not good, it was very small and not comfortable. The breakfast was great and had a lot of options. It was a nice walk to the train which can take you downtown in no time. The park was also very nice.
I believe with new beds I would have ranked this stay higher.

I really liked this hotel. For Brussels standards it's not too expensive and it's still a four star hotel. The room was very spacious and clean with the view to the park and the street, but it's rather quiet since it's not a big street. The personnel has been very kind and helpful, unlike in some five-star hotels in Brussels I stayed at in the past. There's free wireless internet in the room and I also had breakfast included in the price. The breakfast room is a glass-roofed room at the back overlooking an inviting private hotel garden. It's a buffet breakfast, so you can eat as much as you want and there's a selection of food for every taste. I don't like Brussels at all, but if I have to come back there I'll certainly go to this hotel again!!!

I stayed here for one night on business. I certainly wouldn't have stayed a second, and I have now asked that this hotel be removed from the list of approved hotels used by my company.

On a business trip, I'm not expecting grandeur from the hotel - I want a clean, comfortable room where I can prepare for the next day's meeting and get a decent night's sleep. However for 165 euros I was shown a small single room that was simply unacceptable. Having read previous reviews on tripadvisor I had anticipated that the mattress might be old. This was indeed the case. The mattress was soft and lumpy but the hotel had appeared to attempt to rectify this by placing upon it a thin (say 1 or 2 inch) foam mattress that was absolutely filthy. I discovered this immediately on arrival as the bed gave off a distinct whiff of urine and having pulled back the sheets it was clear that the source of the odour was this extremely dirty, stained top mattress.

I went back to reception to request another room. I was subsequently shown an identical room, but it smelled very strongly of cigarette smoke. At this point I had made the mental decision to move elsewhere, if necessary out of my own pocket. I was then shown a third room which the receptionist said was one of their new Executive rooms and this was in fact a great improvement. I don't know the tariff but it was presumably more than the price I had paid (the receptionist said she would let me have this at the 165 euro rate). Even so, there was no way that this room was to a 4* standard. Tired furniture and twin beds pushed together to create a double ( but each bed still with single sheet and single duvet).

Breakfast was a dismal affair - a selection of limp processed meat and dried pastries.

In its favour, the hotel has a nice location next to the park. The bathrooms, as I saw them in each room, also appeared clean. However I have given this hotel a 1 for cleanliness because of the filthy mattress, which was simply unhygienic; and overall my impression is that this is a rather tired 2* hotel in desperate need of an upgrade.
