The review title is intended to be positive not negative. The public areas of the hotel are almost surreal in their architectural and design opulence. A fascinating place to visit and well worth it as a base for a city break in Brussels. The reception area is elaborate and almost austere, yet the staff are friendly, approachable and helpful. The...

The hotel is clearly stunning with its old and opulent decorations, large and elegant lobbies and - most of all - the atmosphere of the beginning of the XX century. The location is good: very central in BXL (close to the bourse, the grand place, rue neuve, la monnaie etc), although the sourroundings are not the always the nicest. The... More

Fantastic old style hotel...beautiful decoration. Situated perfectly to walk into the mall across the main intersection...with all the great shops, restaurants, and chocolate stores! Rooms were well appointed. The food was excellent (tomato soup was heavenly!!!)... No complaints at all, and with breakfast included in the deal, it was well priced too. More

The design of the hotel lobby, bar and restaurant is breathtaking (it's recommended as a site in many guide books), the rooms are huge by European standards, and the staff is warm and accommodating. It's near everything you want to see in downtown Brussels, has a delicious breakfast in the morning, and a room only costs as much as a... More

The Metropole Hotel is like a living museum. It is highly decorated with antique. The reception desk is something you would encounter in a Harry Potter movie (think about the bank). The staff is very professional, nicely dressed and speak a huge number of languages very well. When comparing prices we found out that booking straight with the hotel gives... More

We stayed here for one night at the beginning of January before taking the train to London the next day. We booked the room through the hotel's website and got a very reasonable rate. The hotel is walking distance of the Grand Place, metro, restaurants, shopping, etc. And what a beautiful hotel! The lobby and reception areas are very ornate... More

Metropole Hotel's exterior is just plain, but when you step inside you'll be awed (that's just probably me). Very classy place, friendly staff- they booked our day trips with ease, and the coach just stops outside the hotel. The room was spacious, clean, ample toiletries, and free mini-bar! My husband drinks lots of water and we never had to buy... More

I have been travelling regularly to Brussels since 1981 and I have probably stayed at all the major chains in the city centre. I have always been interested in the Metropole because of the connection with the Solvay conference. I thought however that the hotel looked too stuffy and old world. What a mistake. I stayed there for three nights... More
