The Standard Brussels

The hotel is conveniently located near the Brussel North Station. In barely 3 blocks away you are at the hotel. The front staff is very welcoming an ego to help you when they computers are not down. The bar area is extremely small and they do have life music, which cut all the possibilities to have a business meeting. Do keep that in mind if you want to meet someone to discuss business because it will be impossible. Now, if you do like the life music, it was actually fairly good. The rooftop is supposed to be open unless they are private parties. And unfortunately, when I was there, I could not access the rooftop. Which was a real disappointment. One of the reason why I picked this hotel was actually to go up there. Also, because of this, the restaurant at the Roof rooftop was closed to the public. Therefore, it was switched to the downstairs restaurant which did not offer a full menu. Once again, if you’re planning to have a business dinner after going to the bar, you may want to call the hotel before to be sure that the upstairs restaurant will be available. They downstairs area, which include a breakfast is much smaller and not as fancy as the upstairs. The rooms are very welcoming, a little smaller than expected for four stars hotel. You do have a hot water and a very small choice of tea. You can also try to make coffee, but it is a fairly difficult system using a filter. The air-conditioning is not top notch. Of course I was there during a heat wave where it was 37 Celsi

I cannot express how amazing this hotel is. Cleanliness is top tier and the views are unreal. The rooftop bar is relaxing and chill. I had such an amazing experience in Belgium. The staff were extremely helpful, patient and knowledgeable. I want to give a special shout out to Val and Goncalo for their excellent customer service skills and enthusiasm. It really comes a long way. Please give my recognition to them.

Allowed to check-in Earlier as my flight arrived, Asked to add a 200 euro guarantee for the bar in the room, Given a great view room in the corner of the building. Small plates for breakfast, the room got a better cleaning the next as there was dust on some furniture. Received all the refund. Friendly staff.

Great staff. It needs a concierge
