Hotel Metropole Brussels, Brussels

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 The electric heater seemed outdated for such a lovely room.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.

The hotel has a charming ancient style that fits well with its overall theme, providing a quiet atmosphere ideal for relaxation. The breakfast, although in a fake 'ancient' style, adds to the experience. However, some areas of the rooms show signs of being dated.

The hotel's rooms felt outdated and not very comfortable despite their size, but the inclusion of breakfast was a nice touch. The service was a mix of professional efficiency and some laziness. The location was excellent for exploring the city, although some staff members were rude. The dining experience offered a good variety but was described as normal. The facilities seemed sufficient but with some room for improvement.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The room was quiet and comfortable, ensuring a great night of sleep. It was spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated, exceeding my expectations for this price range. The front-facing room had all the amenities I needed, making my stay very pleasant.

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.
