We had made our reservation of an Executive room for 10 nights through Venere. Upon arriving, there was a mix-up between Venere & The Dominican and we were given a regular room. No Executive rooms were available for our first night there, but the front desk manager went out of her way to try to make everything right ... providing... More

Spent two full days and one night there after bike tour of Netherlands and Belgium before flying out. Excellent location; splendid environment downstairs; secluded, monastic relaxed ambiance in room to come back to recharge. Great city to explore early as it awakes.

Wow! What a great hotel. I would give it a 9 on a scale of 10. Great people who work there (they understand hospitality). Great location, beautiful rooms and great breakfast! I am also very fond of the theming. They pull through in letting the abbey-feel and theme come back throughout the hotel. A drawback is housekeeping. The room looked... More

Great hotel in an updated building of a former monastery. The lobby was super inviting and we were promptly served even allowing a much earlier check-in which was greatly appreciated. The rooms were not huge but used the space well and bed was very comfortable. The rain shower was excellent as finally a hotel that had proper water pressure! The... More

We stayed a long weekend in Brussels. A typical city break. The hotel is in a perfect walking distance location in the heart of the city. We enjoyed the stylish interior and the comfortable well equipped room. The breakfast is excellent. Just some minor staff training matters should be considered by the management. A bit more teamwork at the front... More

I booked my room through a promotion, so the room price was somewhat lower than usual and there was no breakfast included. The hotel is located at the heart of Brussels, behind the Opera, and close to the central rail station, the metro, buses and the very popular square at the city center. The staff was very professional and helpfull.... More
