The Hotel interior and the room (suite) was clean and very nice. We loved the old style of this hotel. Our welcome drink was a glass of champaign in their famous "Pullman-Bar". But the stuff is tricky. They invite you to the breakfast buffet and don't say that the price (25 Euros) is not inculded in the room rate.

Stopped here for business for one night and was impressed how original the hotel was. Walking in through a small entrance which opens out into an impressive high atrium, marble floored, with a piano playing in the corner. I had booked a single but was given a good sized double room with a large comfortable bed. Decor and cleanliness were very good. Nice size bathroom with good shower over bath. As the restaurant was full the hotel staff recommended two restaurants just up the street (good brasserie).
Bar is good, and seems to stock every bottle you could want, but expensive. Skipped breakfast at EUR25 - plenty of nice places in Brussels to eat breakfast. Overall a super hotel and a refreshing change from the corporate clone hotels.

My boyfriend and I have just returned from a fantastic 4 days at The Astoria Hotel. We were checked in before 10-00am by a very helpful informative and pleasant receptionist. The decor in the hotel is opulent and impressive and our room was large and very comfortable.
The overall mood of the hotel is one of tranquility and luxury. I think week days are busier than weekends.
The only negative thing I would say is that the breakfast could have been better. It was fine but nothing to rave about.

Restaurant and bar food tend to be rather expensive but there is a cheaper and more varied room service menu which can be eaten in the bar.
I would not hesitate to go back to the Astoria;-In fact I could hardly drag myself away.

Maybe a little far from Grand Place but this hotel is superb. The breakfast is brilliant but pricey (€25 per person). Don't even think about buying the pricey sandwichs although they are tasty (€18 - yes €18!!!) Rooms are classical and old - beds are super comfy. Beautiful foyer with massive ceilings. Quiet and stately. Staff are excellent and accept when they are wrong e.g. booking a bus tour for the wrong time. They quickly discounted the tour and gave us complimentary breakfast and drinks.
