I chose this hotel because other reviewers said the beds were comfortable. The bed is really a platform bed with a thin pad over a platform that has the box springs. I have to say the bed was very comfortable and my wife and I each had two fluffy pillows. Other pluses of this hotel: Good central location and you... More

We spent 2 nights at The Dominican and thoroughly enjoyed the stay! Great location, within easy walking distance to Grand Place and many other sights and shops in Brussels. We arrived via car and had only a little difficult locating the entrance to the hotel. If you're driving in, be sure to contact the hotel for the security code for... More

Stayed at the Dominican for 2 nights in June and it is absolutely lovely. We arrived about 9pm in the evening and the staff were friendly and helpful. All of the standard double and twin rooms had been filled and so we were upgraded to an executive room with a king size bed which was lovely. The room was clean... More

Stayed for 2 nights in June at the Dominican and was highly disappointed with service and overall ambience of hotel. I made the reservation a month prior and received confirmation. We arrived around 2 pm and our room was not available. Reception staff were terse and appeared to have no idea where our room was and thus would not give... More

My husband and I spent a week in Brussels for our 35th Anniversary. We stayed at the Dominican hotel and had a wonderful time. The location is perfect for walking to everything. It is also walking distance to the train station. We took a day trip, by train, to Amsterdam one day and Brugges another day. Although the hotel is... More

Everything is perfect about this hotel: location next to de Munt, metro is closeby, the Grote Markt closeby, beautiful interior, large rooms with a nice shower, excellent breakfast and friendly staff. Great value for money!

I was pleasantly surprised by this hotel upon our arrival. I had booked it so long ago that I basically had forgotten what it looked like or offered. It really was a hotel that went above and beyond with in room amenities. We had robes, slippers, coffee and tea machines and THE most comfortable bed ever. The concierge staff was... More

With its location in a quiet but central area, and an easy 10 minute downhill walk from the Central Station (with light luggage), the hotel has much to offer - but is not yet top-notch. The plus points: high-ceilinged and spacious rooms, with effective power showers; plain chant muzak in the elevators attuned to the property's heritage and ambience; good... More

A very beautiful hotel in the heart of Brussels. The room was very modern and well equipped. The bathtub and shower were wonderful. The hotel gym and spa are very small but were appreciated after all the yummy French fries and beer. The lounge and bar are beautiful. The front desk always seemed short staffed and not very helpful. But,... More

This property was just beautiful. Great location. We had an Executive room. It was a very good size room. The bed and pillows were absolutely incredible. The breakfast room was beautiful and the breakfast itself was plentiful. This was our second Carlton hotel on this trip. The chain does a great job with there hotels.
