We stayed at the Amigo 10-12 March 2007 at the start of a week-long vacation/business trip to Belgium. We could not have been happier with our stay. The room, hotel amenities and terrific service we encountered contribute to our giving this hotel high marks.
We arrived a few hours before check-in. Our room was not yet available. Staff at reception and bell men were very accomodating in checking us in, holding our luggage while we toured Grand Place and delivering the luggage to the room once it was available. We were made to feel very welcome despite our early arrival. We had the same positive experience at check out.
We used concierge service (both day and evening shift gentlemen) to recommend and make dinner reservations at 2 restaurants during our stay. Their service was impeccable and the restaurants they recommended were superb. Concierges were also very helpful in answering what questions we had and providing maps and directions to places of interest.
We had coffee and snacks in the hotel bar. Service was professional and very friendly. We were also satisfied with the snacks and drinks. The same can be said of room service.
Our room was lovely - very comfortable, quiet , with nice amenities including comfortable beds and sheets. Bathrooms were very well appointed and maintained.
I have 2 disappointments. The first is the outrageous cost of Internet service. I needed to send email to work. I used the service for no more than 2 hours (I believe it was quite a bit less) on the morning we departed. The hotel charges 20 Euro for 24 hours. This is highway robbery, especially in a 5 star hotel. If the hotel must make money on this service, at least offer some less expensive options such as an hourly rate for those people like me who need a brief log in.
My other disappointment is the high cost of breakfast. A petit dejeuner included with the room rate would make the hotel an even better choice for travellers.
We thoroughly enjoyed all of interactions with courteous, professional hotel staff and our comfortable room. I would definitely stay at Amigo again and highly recommend it.
