The hotel is located in the city center near the most important business district and the major tourist areas. It contains 315 rooms, of which only 61 are non-smoking. There is a fine dining restaurant downstairs which is also open for a breakfast buffet, at 19 euro per person. A fitness facility is also available for those staying at the hotel. We didn't use this either since we did so much walking. The hotel staff was very friendly and all spoke english to mixed degrees.
Rack rates were about 230 euro, but you can probably get a discount over the internet. We were staying on an airline employee discout which was 75% off. Accor seemed to have the best discounts for airline employees at their top hotels including this one. You could also get a discount at the Sofitel Astoria, another Accor hotel nearby for 66 euro.
The hotel was pretty well located, near the North train station and about a 20 minute walk from the Grand Place. We found out one of the last days that we were there, the hotel is also about a five minute walk from the red light district if you are interested in that. The neighborhood is pretty quiet. We hardly heard any noise at night. There are a number of restaurants nearby, but we spent most of our time and meals down at the Grand Place.
The hotel was billed at a couple of websites, including their own, as either a four or five-star hotel. While the rooms were nice, we didn't quite agree with that high of a ranking. I would say that it is probably equivalent to most Sheratons or Hiltons in the states. Upscale, but not luxury.
The room contained the usual high priced mini-bar. Our room had a king sized bed which was pretty comfortable, but had some nice indentions where people usually sleep. There was also a table and two chairs for a sitting area near the bed. A television was present with a few English speaking channels (BBC, CNN, and CNBC Europe) and a few in French, Dutch & one in Spanish. PPV movies are also available, but you won't spend too much time in the hotel since the city is so nice. An electronic safe is in one of the closets, so you can lock up your valuables while you are gone.
The bathroom facilities were adequate with a bath/shower with adjustable head. Water pressure was pretty good. They have a hair dryer in the room since they have European electrical outlets. The dryer was ok if you have thin or short hair, but women with long, thick hair probably won't be too happy! Those women may want to look into getting an adapter and bringing their own dryer. Other than that, we were pretty happy with the ammenities provided by the hotel.
