    Quand on arrive dans cet hôtel, on est obligé de faire la queue au guichet et les employés, sympathiques pourtant, ressemblent à des guichetiers de préfecture. L'accueil n'est pas très agréable car ils ne sont pas assez nombreux.

    We had a very quiet, clean and spacious room. The hotel is sumptuous, even though you can't really tell from the outside. We took our breakfast there and it was worth it. If you're looking for a place to have a drink, try their café rather than their bar, it is much more authentic. Staff was very helpful and welcoming.

    Excellent location, within easy walking of shopping and main town center. Very kind and helpful staff. A bit expensive for us (we normally go economy!) but the extra money was well worth it in convenience, customer service, and the general beauty of the hotel. Highly recommended!

    We stayed in the hotel following a celebration meal in Brussels. It met all our expectations of a noble, grand hotel with wonderful spacious public areas and a comfortable, large, well-maintained bedroom. We did not use many of the services so cannot comment on them. The staff we did encounter were courteous and correct. The Sunday-night price deal (€99) was extremely good value.

    We were in Brussels to celebrate New Year. The Ho9tel was beyond our expectations, though a bit expensive to eat in, but there were numerous restaurants in the area of varying prices. We had a lovely time Xmas markets nearby, short walk to Shops and Grande Plas where they hold New year Celebrations. Lots of Museums and nice streets to wander about in. . Most people spoke English or French so not a problem being understood. We were a party of 4 ( mid 50,s ) who partied with the best the best of them out in the Grand Plas and surrounding area. ... go and enjoy

    we reserved 2 rooms for 4 nights non-smoking. At check-in, 19:00, first room offered was not cleaned and toilet not flushed. Smelled of feces. 2nd room offered smelled of smoke. 3rd room was acceptable but mirror in foyer was cracked, lights were burned out and towel heater not working. MY companions' room was withiut toilet tissue and was infested with bed bugs.

    Un excellent rapport qualité-prix bien sûr. L'hôtel Métropole est très bien situé dans Bruxelles. Il n' y a aucun problème pour garer son véhicule. Un voiturier, très aimable et efficace s'occupe de tout. Le personnel d'accueil est très compétent. On peut être étonné par les chambres qui ne sont pas celles qu'on peut rêver avoir dans un hôtel de ce standing. Mais peut-être que le prix pratiqué explique que les chambres attribuées ne sont pas les plus belles de l'hôtel. Cela dit, on est à son aise. Et le lieu a beaucoup de charme. Un hôtel à conseiller si l'on profite de bons tarifs (plus ou moins 100 euros la nuit en chambre double).

    The room allocated was much smaller than what I have experienced at hotels of similar rating. My overall impression was tarnished on the final mornimg when the cooked breakfast was cold.The food was taken away by the waiter to be reheated but you can imagine that one's appetite is not enhanced when presented with cold scrambled egg first thing in the morning.I reported this to the receptionist on departure but my wife and I were still charged a steep 25 euros each for a completely unsatisfactory meal. As you are aware I have regularly used Venere hotels and would recommend that this hotel be removed from your list. It certainly could not compare with it's namesake in Venice.

    I asked for a non smoking room but was placed in a smoking room. the tobacco smell was unbearable. I awoke with red puffy eyes and could not sleep all night. The hotel is located right on a major shopping district so the noise never stopped. People were screaming and playing radios throughout the entire night. While the staff was very nice and curtious they did not resolve any problems. they just politly said no to everything...

    Metropole is a 3 star hotel with a 5 star attitude. Description says "recently renovated" which means that spa is closed, and only some rooms redone. Mine wasn't. Breakfast buffet at 25€ extra is minimalistic served in basement. Internet is 28€ extra per day. That being said, location is good and the hotel works, it just doesn't live up to the standard it's pretending to have.

    We stayed 1 night in a small group. The location was good and the rooms were nice and quiet. Traditional Belgian interior decoration was gorgeous. Everything was satisfactory except the concierges and the too long waiting time to check-in and check-out. The concierges gave us false information on opening hours of shops nearby, different answers about the route to the airport, etc. but didn't say sorry. We paid more than 200 Euro per one single room and we felt it was too expensive for the service we received.
