A heart-shaped ring road defines Brussels’ city core, and most of its visitor attractions. Within these limits, the centre consists of two distinct halves. To the west is the Lower Town, a tangle of medieval streets centred on the Grand Place, a vast cobbled square surrounded by ornate Flemish buildings. To the east is the newer and more aristocratic Upper Town, a zone of palaces and parks, grand museums, and gothic churches.

Our room was richly decorated and very comfortable. We felt pampered. The location was close to public transportation and trains, shopping, sites and easily walkable as well.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Vintage or Outdated?"
Good price, good rooms. It was close to a number of sites and decent shopping. The sheets were a little rough, and the wifi hard to figure out. But overall it was a good choice for our budget and what we wanted out of our trip.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Perfect hotel for weekend in Brussels"
We were in brussels for only 3 days and it is a beautiful hotel, walking distance to any sight in the city. The room was gorgeous. Only minor thing was that the hairdryer didn't work, but that was quickly fixed by bringing us a new one.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Can't imagine a better hotel in Brussels"
My wife and I don't usually stay at hotels as nice as this one, but the deal we got made it very affordable. The high ceiling made the room feel very spacious, the bathtub beckoned for us to take a soak, and the complimentary beverages in the mini-bar were well appreciated. The room was clean, the bed comfortable, and the location convenient for our […] 2 days of sightseeing in brussels. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Needs an overhaul"
Hotel Metropole-fine for a drink to take in the history, however the bathroom smelled moldy and there was little hot water. Neighborhood did not feel safe at night. This is far from a 5 star hotel.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Metropole Hotel in Brussels"
The hotel was beautiful and staff were excellent, as was the location. The staff were extremely friendly and accomodating and assisted in us in all of our needs. The only problem was the smell of the room that we were in for three days. We ended up buying air freshener because it smelled of body odor and was very unpleasant. We opened the balcony doors […] though and managed to make it much better. I loved the hotel, location, and the size was GREAT! It was very large for a hotel in Europe.

Beauttiful hotel - and so convienent to Metro. Excellent and inexpensive Cafe with great sidewalk seating.

"Metropole Hotel - beautiful, historical, opulent"
Our stay at the Metropole was awesome. The hotel itself is just beautiful, from the front of the building, to the lobby, to the old fashioned elevator made of wrought iron, to the rooms themselves. It is just opulent. I loved the old fashioned uniforms of the bell hops, the his and hers sinks in the bathrooms, towel warmers... Over the top. The only […] (extremely minor) flaws I could find were these: 1. the bed, though huge, was not as plush as I would expect from such an otherwise incredible place. 2. no wash cloths. Is that an American thing? 3. the "complimentary mini bar stocked with Belgian beers" was stocked with 2 small sized Stellas. Now, I like Stella, but I am a beer snob and I was looking for something a little less commonly exported. Those things considered, I think our price on Hotels.com was still a steal, and I don't regret our decision to stay there at all. It was beautiful, and had extremely large rooms when compared with other European hotels. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Beautiful hotel"
Stunning old hotel with great service and facilities. Close to all main attractions and easy access to transport system. Lovely staff who are happy to provide anything you need (at a price). The restaurant is fantastic and the bar is well stocked and a lovely place to relax. Our only issue was the lack of tea making facilities in the room but good tea […] and coffee were available within ten minutes from their efficient room service.

"Lovely hotel with some amazing features"
We went for the weekend and had a lovely stay at the Metropole. The hotel has fantastic rooms and amazing architecture. We ordered room service on the first night as we arrived late and the buffet style breakfast is fantastic.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Gang Fight??!!"
Look like a great place to stay, sure its ornate, its very big and the foyer is impressive. We check in, no problems...it was like wait until they are in their room and then just forget about providing a service. I asked one of the room service people why I had been charged for an extra breakfast and he almost cried through the bill through the door […] and said something I couldn't understand but I got the idea. That was fine but the next morning we walked around the corner of the hotel past all the bright lights and glitz to be confronted by a gang fight....a bit alarming. You can find better....

"Lovely hotel - Shame about the area"
I stayed in Brussels about 20 years ago and wanted to go back there to see the square and the sights again. The city has changed greatly and although the old lavish buildings still exist, they are surrounded in rubbish, beggers, and basically every form of kebab and chip shop you can get. Unfortunately this once lovely city now looks worse than inner […] London. The hotel itself is expensive but very high class and the staff are very helpful. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Lovely Hotel to sit outside and chill out"
We did a pay up front deal with a special rate.The room was clean and comfortable but lacked teamaking facilities and dressing gowns/slippers expected with this class hotel.The hotel is within walking distance of the railway station about 5 mins away although we used a taxi..The breakfast was excellent and we would go back again..Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Good location and grand hotel"
Hotel location is excellent, being near the metro line and int he centre of town. The entrance and foyer of the hotel look very impressive. The room itself was quite small and needed updating. We appreciated the complimentary drinks in the mini-bar, but it would have been good to have a kettle. Free wifi was good throughout our stay. The buffet breakfast […] included a good range of foods, but the quality was mediocre. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Great location, great lobby, and thats about it."
The lobby of the hotel is very nice and posh looking, however that stops as soon as you step into the room. The location was great, as it was a short walk into the heart of Brussels. But the room left a lot to be desired for the price. The rooms could definitely use an update, not only did everything look outdated, it felt old and grubby. I mean, the […] decor should at least match. The bathroom was dirty and underneath the toilet seat reminded me of a truck stop toilet....gross. We had a lovely view of the rooftop and a brick wall. The hotel seemed empty so I dont know why they gave us the worst room in the hotel. The aircon/fan did not work and we didnt feel it was safe to have the window open while we slept. Although we were on the first floor, the rooftop/fire escape was level with our window. So it wouldnt take much for someone to creep over to our open window and waltz right in. The maintanence man kept trying to come in our room even though we had the do not disturb sign up. He would knock a couple times, then before we could react, he was unlocking the door and helping himself in. This really angered me, and it happened twice. The second time I was ready to kick his you know what. He wandered off without saying a word after I yelled at him. This to me is unacceptable, and I would imagine females would feel very unsafe and vulnerable. There are better hotels out there for the money they are charging. I wouldnt stay there again.

"Hotel Metropole - Brussels"
We had an excellent stay in this hotel. Staff were helpful and courteous; room was clean and ideally furnished. Location was perfect for exploring central Brussels, so much so that we were able to head back there briefly to drop off shopping mid-way through the day. Leaving aside the above, the hotel decor lives up to expectations provided by the photographs. […] The bar is also an ideal setting for an early evening drink or a late evening night-cap. Will definitely consider returning as and when we go back to Brussels . Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Gorgeous Hotel Metropole - Great Location"
This hotel was ideal for a weekend visit to Brussels. It is not far on the Metro from train station with station right outside. Interior of hotel is magnificent, very old wordly. reception staff lovely, and we were offered a larger room than we booked, and it was massive! Would highly recommend bar as great service and wide choice, with seats outside […] to watch world go by. The Grand PLace is only 5 mins walk along with many other great sites, bars and shopping areas. Overall, great location for a tour of Brussels! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"優れた立地"
2泊しました。プレメトロのDe Brouckere駅に近く、他の場所への移動が便利です。また観光地のグランプラスまで徒歩10分弱で行けます。ホテルの周辺については、夜は暗く、食事するところもあまりありません。昼間は打って変わってホテルの裏側の通りが栄えており、買い物には便利でした。横のビルにもショッピングセンターがあります。部屋にあるミニバーには水・コーラ・ビールが無料で2本あり、重宝しました。私が泊まったときは、メトロポールカフェが閉鎖されておりそこが残念でした。Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Belgisk ekstravaganse på sitt beste"
Et flott hotell som virkelig har klart å bevare det beste fra Belgisk 1800- talls storhet! Hotellet er fra 1885, men er nydelig pusset opp og vedlikeholdt - uten å bryte med den opprinnelige stilen. Rommet var stort, lyst, rent og nyoppusset, sengen var fantastisk god. Topp service med en meget velrenommert og hyggelig café på gateplan, der de serverer […] alt fra champagne til kakao, kaker og småretter. Dette er også et av de mest sentrale hotellene i Brussels Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
