The Standard Brussels
"Excellent hotel all round. Location, staff, style of hotel, decor, rooms, views, and the roof top terrace all top notch. Felt very luxurious for the reasonable price paid. Would visit Brussels again just for the hotel."

"Room was not clean everywhere."

Cardo Brussels, Autograph Collection
"I was in a suite room with great size but had a lot of unnecessary mirrors. I mistakenly upgraded to city view paying extra and that new room toilet was stinking all the time, like some drainage smell. I was not in room mostly so didn’t complain but for that cost didn’t expect it"

Citybox Brussels Centre Louise
"Check-in machine broken. Hallway carpets hadn't seen a vacuum for quite some time. Old thermostat impossible to regulate either freezing or off. Not a fan of these low contact hotels. Will not stay again"
