A GEM
Pros:

From the moment you step inside, The Dominican feels like a hidden sanctuary. Blending rich history with sleek contemporary design, this boutique hotel is pure charm to behold—offering a warm, inviting atmosphere that feels equal parts grand and intimate.
​The location simply cannot be beaten. Tucked away in the vibrant heart of Brussels, it serves as the ultimate base for exploring on foot. Step outside and you are immediately immersed in the city's character—strolling through narrow cobblestone walkways, admiring the stunning architecture, and discovering a endless array of lively bars, cozy cafes, and exceptional local restaurants just around the corner.
​The rooms are beautifully appointed, quiet, and comfortable, but what truly elevated the experience was the exceptional service. Every member of the staff was genuinely friendly, welcoming, and attentive, ensuring every detail of our stay was seamless.
​If you are visiting Brussels, look no further. Beautiful, atmospheric, and perfectly situated, this is the place to stay.

Great stay!
Pros:

friendly staff and great location - lovely hotel

Cons:

the bathroom sink is round so the water tends to splash out and the shower head keeps moving so hard to keep straight and get under it. But both not really bad issues

Dezamăgitor
Pros:

Restaurantul

Cons:

Domnul de la recepție s-a răstit la mine în timpul procesului de check-in, spunându-mi că nu este posibil ca garanția să fie plătită în numerar, deși, cu două săptămâni în urmă, când am fost cazat la același hotel, am putut face acest lucru fără nicio problemă.
Saltelele au fost prea moi.
Camerele erau întunecoase și mobilate învechit.

Heerlijk rustig en sfeervol hotel en toch middenin de stad
Pros:

Meteen vanaf binnenkomst een goed gevoel. Sfeervol en stijlvol, zonder stijf te zijn. En heerlijk rustig. Fijne kamers.
