We booked this hotel for two weeks upon the recommendation of our travel agent. By booking 7 months and paying in advance we were able to save 40%, with free breakfast. The hotel upgraded our room to a medium suite with free cokes, beer and water bottles each day. The breakfast is varied and fresh with impeccable tuxedo service, to... More

This hotel has an amazing lobby and is an amazing building, you can feel the history in it. The old world charm is definitely in display when you walk inside. The problem is when you get to your room the old charm is stripped back to what it actually is...old. The rooms need a big spruce up. For example, our... More

The Metropole has old-world charm and character at modest prices (out of season, certainly). Itis very close to the centre of the old town in Brussels, 5 mins. walk from the Bourse, making it a good all-round choice. The WiFi coverage is dreadful, extremely slow and disconnecting periodically, while the management is a little stiff and out of step. All... More

We stayed here for one night and were treated to luxury. It was our honeymoon so were given a nice surprise upon our return to our room of a bottle of French wine and a lovely note from the hotel manager. Yummy buffet breakfast, lovely and helpful staff and the rooms are beautiful.

This is an Old fashioned 5* hotel that is perfectly located for the centre of Brussels. They provide a great (full English and continental) buffet breakfast. The decor in the public areas are art deco and reminded us of an episode of Poriot. The room that we stayed in was slightly tired. Overall very pleased with our choice and we... More

Not a good stay at this hotel. The room was dark and pokey. Thankfully, we only stayed for one night but this did not stop the cleaning staff from trying to enter at 8am. Overpriced for what it is, a little off the beaten track, and we found out when we got here that the cafe was shut. I would... More

We spent two nights at the Metropole at the end of April. The hotel is located next to the De Broukere Metro station (public transport is excellent) which is virtually the centre of Brussels, so plenty of restaurants and pubs nearby. The hotel has a very large and glamorous Art Nouveau style reception area. We were checked in at noon... More

This is a beautiful, quirky and old fashioned hotel in a perfect location just about a 5-10 minute walk to the Grand Place and the main train station. It's also conveniently located near some good restaurants and bars. The reception and public areas are very grand and our room was big, spacious and clean. It was probably one of the... More

This is a really old fashioned hotel. It does have character. It is central. The area it is located in is good. If you want to do the Grand Place, it is handy but if you want to get off the tourist treadmill it is well placed too. Great staff and decent rooms. It isn't cheap though.
