Great location, an easy & quick walk to the Grand Place, the restaurant in the hotel is very good and the bar is awesome. Love the patio in front when the sun is out. The hotel entrance is on a street that is pedestrian only and it’s directly behind the opera house. Chez Jules is a great restaurant on Rue de L’ Ecuyer that can be seen from the front of the hotel. Don’t bother with Ricotta and Parmesan restaurant next to Chez Jules. Our favorite place to eat is Maison du Cerf on the Grand Place next to Godiva. The hotel staff is very friendly. The room interiors are clean and well appointed but they will need a slight refresh soon. Nothing deterring, but I was surprised to find some peeling wallpaper on our last visit, and one of the stair treads popped off, but nothing beyond regular wear and tear that one regularly finds in every other hotel, and did not change and otherwise comfortable and clean room. Only the executive loft rooms have stairs in them, so easy to avoid. Neither would prevent me from returning and I plan to stay again. It’s a beautiful, clean, reliable boutique hotel with a very friendly and attentive staff and a luxurious atmosphere. The best hotel for walking access to shopping, the Grand Place, Brussels Central train station, the Brussels metro/underground/tram stations, multiple nearby SAFE parking lots, and the Sablon antiques district. Super easy to get to by train to and from the airport. I always stay at The Dominican and always will!
