About the Hotel

Hotel Metropole is an Art Deco establishment dating back to 1895, located in the historical center of Brussels. Known for its luxurious décor, it has maintained its old-world elegance while adapting to modern standards. Positioned just minutes from cultural landmarks like the Grand Place, it serves as a significant venue for both leisure and business travelers. Its location also benefits from a recently pedestrianized area of Place de Brouckère, enhancing the surrounding ambiance.

Location

Hotel Metropole's central location provides easy access to major attractions, including the Royal Museum of Fine Arts and the Palais des Beaux Arts, all within a short walking distance. The De Brouckère metro station links the hotel to the European Commission and broader Brussels region. Its proximity to vibrant dining areas around Place Sainte-Catherine adds to the attraction for visitors looking to explore local culture.

Each room is individually decorated, equipped with amenities such as flat-screen TVs, minibars, and spacious bathrooms. Many bathrooms include bathtubs with shower attachments, providing comfort for guests.

Café Metropole presents a premium brasserie-style menu, reflecting traditional Brussels cuisine. The restaurant's lavish interior and outdoor heated terrace create an inviting atmosphere for dining year-round. The hotel's award-winning restaurant, Alban Chambon, specializes in French cuisine, offering a refined dining experience. A lobby bar and a unique breakfast area modeled after an Indian temple further enhance the culinary offerings.

The hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were small and hot with no AC, and the noise was relentless throughout the night. On the bright side, the staff provided excellent service and even upgraded us to a spacious suite with a lovely street view. The location was great for exploring Brussels, but the dining experience fell short with cold, tasteless food and tiny plates.

My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The rooms were comfortable but a bit too warm for the winter season. The cleanliness was questionable due to a moldy wall in the bathroom, which made me a bit worried about the room's hygiene. However, the location was great for exploring the city.

Although the hotel has some areas that need improvement, my stay was generally pleasant. The rooms, while needing some renovation and a bit small with no view, were still comfortable. The service was a bit disorganized initially, but the staff was ultimately friendly and helpful. The location is superb, right in the heart of Brussels' old city, though some facilities fell short of expectations such as the breakfast experience.

The hotel's rooms were very tired and needed updating, with signs of damp/mould. Although they were spacious and comfortable, they were nothing as expected. The service was top-notch; staff were very friendly and helpful, providing a Victorian-style hotel experience centered around the front house manager who even carried our bags to our plush suite. The location was smooth and efficient, situated in downtown Brussels with amenities within walking distance and a metro station right outside. The dining experience was value for money with a lot of choices and a good variety of food. The facilities were adequate and offered all the necessary services.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room was beautifully designed with a chandelier and offered a view of the gorgeous plaza, but it was uncomfortably hot initially, and I had to request a room change. The electric heater seemed outdated for such a lovely room.

The hotel falls short of its 5-star billing due to multiple issues in the rooms such as marks on bedding, scuffed skirting boards, and a disappointing bed and mattress. However, the service is friendly and helpful. The location is fantastic, offering a quiet setting close to various amenities in Brussels. The dining experience is enjoyable and extensive. The facilities need improvement.

The hotel rooms were larger than expected and had an ironing facility, though they were not as depicted in the photos and had a stale cigarette smell covered up with perfume. The service was amazing but with occasional lapses like forgetting the final items. The location was convenient, close to the metro and other attractions, and had seen improvements. The dining options were varied but below average compared to the overall experience.

The hotel is a bit disappointing for a 5-star experience. The rooms were grubby with marks on the walls and lacked expected facilities like coffee and tea. The service was friendly overall, though at times it fell short of professional standards. The location is great for exploring Brussels, but the ongoing street resurfacing project caused noise disturbances. The dining experience, however, didn't meet high-end hotel standards and could use improvement.

The hotel's rooms felt like something out of a horror movie, but at least they had a safe with a programmable PIN. The service was unprofessional and rude, with instances of forgotten orders. The location, although in need of renovation, is excellent for exploring the old town attractions. The dining experience was adequate but overpriced. The facilities, while lacking details, had potential.

The hotel's location is excellent, easily accessible from the metro and city, exuding grandeur of old times. The rooms, though named after a famous Belgium actor, were not as spacious as depicted in photos, and some faced noise from wastewater pipes starting around 5:00. The service was exceptional, particularly the concierge who was always pleasant and helpful. The dining experience was fresh and delicious, available at 28 euros each. The facilities were elegant and majestic, offering a real taste of luxury.

Entering the room through two doors placed very close to one another, I was welcomed by the noise of machinery outside my window. However, once inside, the room was spacious with a terrace, TV, trouser iron, and a decent sitting area along with a desk. The staff was warm and friendly, though their Dutch language skills were sometimes lacking. The location is excellent, walking distance to main tourist sights and transportation. The dining experience in the adjoining cafe bar was good, but it could be improved for 5* standards. The facilities were up to par, though there is room for enhancements.
