Having previously enjoyed staying at the Metrople several years ago, I was looking forward to a romantic weekend with my husband. The hotel is a wonderful old building with a fabulous cafe and located very centrally. Unfortunately the hotel rooms, although recently refurbished, were freezing cold and smelled of dampness and drains. We changed rooms after the first night thinking... More

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.

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!

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
