When we stayed here in 2017, it was in a great location, plus we got two free beer with the room. The restaurant in the hotel was also great!

Definitely not a 5star hotel
I booked the privilege room online, but when I arrived, the room offered to me is quite different with the pictures showed in the website. I doubt they gave me a basic room instead but when I asked them in the reception, no one sloved my question. One guy only ask me whether I need to call the manager, but when I said yes, no one contact me then
Beautiful hotel in great Need of renovation & customer Service. Public Rooms lovely; well preserved making a lovely experience downstairs. Room I was given,and those of many of my fellow conference attendees at conference there, did not look like Picture here. Mine had not been renovated for decades. Radiators did not work. I had no hot water to shower with or in my sink. Made the staff Aware of this that first night when tried to shower. Told Concierge& reception staff next morning. No offer of room Exchange..said they would tell maintenance. Coming back very late that second night of stay from conference and stepped into shower - still no hot water. Then left a note on door for maintenance staff on the Hotel sheet put on the doorknob. Called Concierge & Reception staff also.No help. Said they would pass on to maintenance.Then next busy conference day, try take a shower at 2330, still no hot water in the bathroom sink or shower. Called Concierge. Said would send Manager up. that took until 015ish. after midnight. Manager/ another staff. I knew to run water to see if hot water comes. Tried 3 nights myself. Insisted on not believing me as Cold water poured out of both faucets.then, offered me a new room. I just needed to Sleep. At checkout next morning next day informed Concierge, receptionist, and asked to talk to Manager. He was came out. Asked for my Money back for stay & Manager said would take care of, taking email & phone no.. Never contacted me and do not follow up:
Bel hôtel historique au centre de Bruxelles hall d ’entrée superbes bon petit déjeuner beaucoup d’attente pour check in et intrusion dé mendiants dans l’hôtel et difficile de le signaler par téléphone à la réception car pas de réponses, chambre grande et spacieuse
Classically stylish and affordable, in a great location.

The hotel of 2 half’s
A hotel of 2 half’s. Initially we were put in the left side of the hotel in a large room which was very dated and needed redecorating. The noise above kept us awake all night, very loud voices and banging, the room was also extremely hot. We asked to move and the reception staff put us in the right side of the hotel. A different world, lovely decoration, quality room with working heat controls. Hospitable staff but you would have to be careful which side of the hotel you were put on.
Overall the hotel is ok. The location of the hotel is excellent, entrance to metro is right in front of the hotel. Also very close to city centre. The reception and entrance hall are grand and beautiful, that’s where the superlative end. The room is in desperate need for update, the walls and carpets feel dirty. For 5* hotel the room lacks tea / coffee making facilities and other amenities expected. The staff is nice and polite enough, but nothing extra and the worst of it is probably food. The room service quality is underwhelming, while the breakfast is just a rip off. Fake eggs, fake fruit juices and terrible coffee, no fresh vegetables and lack of fruit beside apples and tinned fruit salad. Not worth paying extra, not worth 5* hotel. So overall the value for money is not there.
This hotel is very beautiful and my room was large, clean and quiet. But I paid extra for the breakfast which was a huge disappointment. Powdered eggs, low quality food, and when I said this to the reception when check in out I received a very cold (somewhat rude) response. I would highly recommend not having the breakfast at the hotel, and instead eat at The Avocado Show or Peck 47 (very close to the hotel and delicious breakfasts).
It spent an hour to check in because they gave a wrong room key, lucky, the room is untidy and peoples are still occupied, and the type of the room is not the one that I was booked.
There is no tea/coffee maker in room, it is not the same standard of 5-stars hotel.
When I was check out, I paid the city tax by cash (EURO$22), I did not have the change and a receipt, and told them please don't charge to my credit. After a week, I found Euro$21.2 is charged to my Credit card.
I wrote an email and message via facebook yesterday, but there is no respond! Is it a 5 stars hotel service?
I have noticed that "for any urgent matter, please contact: fo@metropolehotel.be"", but, there is still no reply!
For the person in charge of this hotel, if they receive my comment, please leave a name, tittle, and email to handle my complaints.
De kamers zijn oud, niet goed onderhouden en totaal niet wat je verwacht van een 5-sterren hotel. De foto's zijn waarschijnlijk genomen in 1930 want alles is oud. Laat je niet misleiden door de foto's van de kamers. Bij navraag leerden wij dat er maar enkele kamers zo uitzien.
Er lag geen stof op de kamer en het bed was schoon. Daar was ook alles mee gezegd. Er zat overal schimmel in de badkamer, en kwam een verschrikkelijke putlucht uit de wasbak.
Door de kamer heen lagen losse elektriciteitskabels. Op het balkon hing een halve schotel boven de deuropening.
Het personeel was vriendelijk maar vertelde ons weinig te kunnen doen aan de staat van de kamer. Zo was het nu eenmaal.
Endroit agréable pour visiter Bruxelles à pied
La chambre qui apparaît en photo sur le site de réservation ne correspond pas à celle qui vous est attribuée ! Côté décevant ! Mais c'est récurrent sur les différents sites de réservation !!!!
No es un hotel 5 estrellas jamas !!! Lobby arquitectónicamente lindo pero con luz pobre !!nada q ver el hotel con las fotos !!! un timo total todo descuidado mi habitación alfombra sucia y olor desagradable los lavamanos completamente tapados tenías q ocuparlos con un hilo de agua y el plomero jamás llegó para solucionarlo no era para nada lo q esperaba y menos después de ver las fotos así q para nada fiarse q de las fotos a la realidad y las 5 estrellas es otra cosa en la realidad decepción total
Nun zum dritten Mal die Bewertung: Empfang okay, Äußerlichkeiten im Hotel z.b. Foyer, gastraum gut bis sehr gut. Das Zimmer ein Horror! im Badezimmer hat die Steckdose nicht funktioniert, keine Rasur, keine Frisur. Die Heizung im wohnraum war kaputt. Dafür wurde generöse Weise ein kleiner Heizkörper dahingestellt. Die Tür vom Badezimmer war nicht zu schließen. Leider Gottes auch nicht die Tür zum kleinen Balkon. Erfolgt bei 0 Grad in der Nacht wir haben uns den.... Abgefroren! diese Tür war absolut nicht zu schließen! Des weiteren waren viele Sachen angeschlagen die holzverkleidung und so weiter, die wollen aber angeschlagen. Der teppichboden hatte bessere Jahrzehnte gesehen. Kurz gefasst der reiseprospekt Aspekt bezüglich Jugendstil wird erfüllt. Die Zimmer sind hier doch unter aller Kanone. Schade ums Geld! nicht empfehlenswert. Aber gehen Sie gerne mal hin um einen Kaffee zu trinken ein belgisches Bier zu trinken oder etwas zu essen, das mag besser sein! Ich war jetzt schon zweimal da und bin zweimal reingefallen! Uns langt es! Und ich hoffe dass zumindest diese Rezension ankommt
Rooms were not great and not as good as it looks in the photos. Rooms are very basic and like a 3 star hotel. Bed was not comfortable. There were stain on the carpet. Our room wasn't cleaned until i had asked reception at 6pm. Overall i would say it was a 3 star experience.
