“In my opinion, this hotel stands out for its modern, art-driven design that somehow still manages to feel cozy. I especially appreciate the little extras, like the 24/7 coffee and drinks in the lobby, and the location is great-close to the metro and within walking distance of a lot of what Brussels offers. For me, the friendly, helpful staff really made the stay worthwhile.”
