8.2/10

The hotel is situated in an unbeatable location, just a stone's throw away from the Grand Place and the Plantin museum. The service was top-notch with excellent assistance available for boat or restaurant reservations. The location is extremely central but tucked away on a tranquil street, ensuring a peaceful stay. The dining experience offered a variety of food options, including fresh fruit and bread, although the price seemed a touch high for the selection.

The room, while cozy, felt a bit too warm at night even with the heating off. It would have been great to have a bit more space to unwind in the evenings after a day of exploring.
