Hotel NH du Grand Sablon - Brussels

6.9

The hotel when I booked is was a Jolly hotel, and in the few days before I went, became the NH hotel which was confusing to me when I arrived and tried to find the hotel. The rooms are still a bit shabby. The hotel staff are professional but rather more interested in their own conversations than in hotel guests.

4.1

If you decide to book a room at this hotel first check that the breakfast is incluted in the price, otherwise the hotel will charge you 25 euros per day.

9.5

This was a perfect hotel to stay in. Lovely surroundings, great placing... The only thing I can think of complaining about was that the breakfast cost 25 euro! Then you are (and I was) much better off going out to a local café and eating yourself half to death for half the price...

7.7

After checking in nobody cares of you. so you do not need to pass in front of the reception so it looks like being ina shopping center. But the rooms are OK, spacious, clean and the bathroom very nice.

9.3

Good location plus nice hotel and room. Main drawback is that the venere price doesnt include breaksfast - which costs an extra 25Euro per person at the hotel. However there are lots of nice places around and about to get a good breakfast for less than 10Euros. Also reception seemed to be a bit chaotic.

9.2

I used to travel to Brussels very often for work and Sablon remains my favourite place to stay. I love the Jolly hotel because it is located in the Place du Sablon, which is a lovely little piazza with lovely restaurants and my favourite chocolate shop Marcolini. The hotel is beautiful, with gorgeous, perfectly clean rooms and good service and is close to Parc metro station on Rue Royale.

This was my second stay at Hotel Jolly Du Grand Sablon. The Hotel is very well located and with easy walking distance of mostpoints of interest in the city. The staff this time around were more helpful than last and a lot more welcoming. I would not eat at the hotel as there are many other venues in the square that are far better value for money, especially breakfast. The free internet was one of the draw cards in booking at the hotel.

Would stay again; but not room 633 which is next to a noisy service room

9.1

A very nice hotel. Definitely 4 star category. he hotel was fine, but the decor in the rooms could stand a minor update. Teh bathroom was spacious, but the hot water pressure was iffy. The mattress was a bit soft and worn for my taste, but the room was quite quiet and that's always a good thing. I'd hoped for a fitness room, but it is an older property and they don't seem to have a space for one. It is in a pretty, quiet, upscale location between bustling historic center and the royal palace and museums. Maximum 10 minutes walk to the center and the central train station. Lots of great restaurants in the neighborhood. I didn't try the food, as many reviewers pointed out it was too expensive. There is a good breakfast cafe 3 minutes walk down the hill. One thing about the location, you won't find convenience stores in the immediate vicinity. You have to walk a few minutes to find them. Nevertheless, if you get a good price, this is a nice place to stay, away from the hubbub and traffic of the center, where the Carrefour, Meridian, and other similar hotels are located.

7.1

Nice place to stay, but 25E for breakfast was excessive (nice bakery a few doors down though).

9.8

The porter and men at the front desk were most helpful and welcoming with one exception,a woman at the front desk on the weekend,who when I asked her to make a dinner reservation for us because my french is quite minimal(and she was not busy at all),insisted very rudely that she had called and there was NO POSSIBILITY of a reservation that evening! Later on we walked to the restaurant spoke to the chef,got a reservation and that evening enjoyed a wonderful meal in the restaurant that,though full, had several tables open....an interesting experience! That aside we would not hesitate to return to the hotel and highly recommend it to others. We also enjoyed the elegant location away from some of the more touristy places,the lounge in the lobby for tea or wine in the late afternoon, and the general elegance of the hotel as well as excellent bus service to many of the sights , but would never pay 25 euros for breakfast even if that is the going rate for a hotel breakfast.

We very much enjoyed our stay and thought the position/location was perfect. We hope to return again next year. Do you ever have special discounts for weekend stays out of peak season?

8.2

Fabulous location. Front desk staff was a bit unfriendly but might be due to fact that we are Americans. Overall, I would recommend this hotel to others.

8.9

Excellent location away from the noise and touristy part of central Brussels but within easy walking distance. Excellent cafes and restaurants in the immediate area. Thoroughly recommend this hotel.

4.3

The room and hotel was ok, but I don't think that receiving only dutch TV chanels is apropriate for such an hotel. 25 Euros for breakfast is ridiculous.

8.2

Weekend break. The hotel was ideally situated for a walking tourist. The shower was poor, otherwise the room was good. The staff were very efficient.

7.2

Hotel looked good, room was fair size and it was in an excellent location, 5 minute walk from La Grand Place and the centre of Brussels. The square the hotel is on is beautiful. This was my first time in Brussels and I'd definately go back here.

8.0

Breakfast is on a high pricelevel

9.7

Good hotel in a very good position. Breakfast not included in the price, as usual in Bruxelles.

8.4

The hotel is placed on beautiful Place du Sablon. I thought the hotel is really good and can recommend a stay here for everyone. THowever, the breakfast was not included and would cost 25 Euro extra. Since the price was a bit stiff, I chose to go across the square to Le Pain Quotidien. They serve good breakfast and you get alot for your money! Overall the stay and the hotel was great! I am sure that I will use it for another Brüssel stay.

9.0

Excellent hotel, wonderful situation, but the breakfast is not included un the price ...

6.8

Sure, it's four star hotel as the staff were keen to point out. It is also pretentious & charges (plenty) extra for everything & overcharged nearly 30% for the room. DO NOT give them your laundry; the prices are ridiculous. The 'business centre' is little more than an uncomfortable cupboard. To be fair, our room was very pleasant.

9.7

My husband and I enjoyed our stay at this hotel. It is what I call a boutique hotel. However, I suggest the staff familiarize with the surrounding area when giving directions.

8.4

The service in the breakfast room was also this time rather unfriendly.

i didn´t know this hotels before but now every place i visit and you have a hotel there i will stay with you again....

8.2

1) I asked for "smoking allowed" but got "no smoking" 2) Difficult working/writing conditions (no light on desk) 3) Tricky shower

7.9

The room was decent and clean. It is pretty close to the Grand Place and I would stay there again. A superior room would be recommended.

9.6

Perfecto. En el corazon de la plaza del Sablon. Anticuarios. Cercano a la Grand Place.
