"So close but not so far from the old town or maybe the attractions which is good, if you’re staying inside around the grand palace, it may get noisy so this place is really in a good place so location is very strategic 😘 From the train station (Midi Station), 2 stops away and you can walk to the hotel easily 🫶🏻 This hotel is kinda old so it gives off the old vibes but you got what you need and breakfast is good 😄 everybody is so welcoming ~ if you’re in a budget and still want a good hotel to stay, here is the place 👍🏻 thank you 🫰🏻"
"This beautiful boutique hotel gets five stars from us all round. The staff were friendly and extremely helpful. We had an amazing stay — everything was spotlessly clean, from the floor to the taps. The gym was brand new and immaculate. I loved the interior design of the hotel, from the colour scheme and décor to the furniture, coffee machine, cup and room amenities. It's clear that they pay attention to every little detail. Our room was quiet, which allowed us to recharge after our long-haul flight. We would definitely recommend it and can’t wait to go back."
"This was by far the worst hotel experience we've ever had. The hotel has no reception and, to this moment, has not provided any check-in instructions. We arrived in the evening around 8pm, after an international flight, with our 3-year-old child—only to find ourselves locked out, unable to access the building. No instructions had been sent whatsoever.
Thankfully, some other hotel guests happened to arrive and kindly let us into the hallway. We tried calling the emergency number provided, but it only offered an automated message saying replies would take up to 24 hours—by which time we would already have left.
We couldn’t access our room key until another guest, using her own instructions and code, managed to open the key safe and retrieve our key for us. Absolute nightmare.
The room itself was ok—equipped with a fridge, some basic glassware, and a small TV. However, there was no coffee provided, so we had to purchase our own. Only two small bath towels were provided."
"Great location and friendly staff. The bathroom was also very spacious. There's a cafe downstairs where you can grab breakfast. It's super convenient, less than a 5-minute walk from the subway station."
"I had a truly wonderful stay at this hotel in Brussels. From the moment I arrived, the level of service was exceptional — warm, professional, and genuinely welcoming. The staff went above and beyond to make sure every detail of my stay was perfect.
The rooms were spotless, beautifully maintained, and designed with great aesthetic taste. Everything felt fresh, elegant, and comfortable, creating a relaxing atmosphere after a long day exploring the city.
A very special thank you goes to Ms. Antonia at the reception. Her kindness, professionalism, and willingness to help made a real difference during my stay. She was always attentive, smiling, and ready to assist with anything I needed, making me feel truly valued as a guest.
Excellent service, outstanding cleanliness, and beautiful design — I would definitely choose this hotel again on my next visit to Brussels."
"Very very good hotel, the software and hardware are not worse than the magnificent, especially the service staff is particularly well trained, warm and thoughtful, too few breakfast categories do not affect the possibility of choosing again. Also, the hair dryer is not easy to use, you can bring it yourself."
"The location is good, although there's no kitchen access. The beds are extremely narrow, more like for children, and the pillows are very thick. They should really look into the bed situation because getting a good night's sleep is the most important thing."
"I stayed at this hotel for one night and had a good experience. The room was clean and comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was nice with enough choice. The location is quiet, it’s easy to get to the city center and the airport. Overall, good value for money. I would recommend it."
"Located in the city center, the location is excellent, 5-6 minutes walk to the palace. The interior decoration is exquisite, and there are many Chinese elements. The service is particularly good. The line suddenly short-circuited in the early morning, and the repair was very fast. I personally think that the breakfast variety is not large, but the ingredients are fresh, and you can make waffles by yourself."
"Im Hinterhof des Hotels war eine große Baustelle, die in der Hotelbeschreibung nicht stand. Leider war diese Baustelle zu hören.
Die Zimmer waren auch etwas hellhörig. Im Badezimmer in der Dusche war die Fliese in der Mitte gebrochen und kaputt, da war ein halbes Loch, Verletzungsgefahr. Ebenso konnte man die Badezimmertür nicht schließen, weil man die sonst nicht mehr auf bekommen hat.
Der Wellnessbereich war schön aufgemacht, jedoch waren am ersten Abend ganz viele weiße Stücke (keine Ahnung was das war) im Becken auf dem Boden. Durch die Whirlpool Funktion wurde das ganze Wasser aufgewirbelt und irgendwann wurden sie raus gespült. Die Sauna wird wohl von vielen ohne Handtuch benutzt, weswegen das Holz schon ”schrumpeliger” ist. Aber schön gemacht.
Beim Frühstück, wenn es sehr voll war, kommt der Mann oftmals mit dem Nachräumen der ganzen Sachen nicht hinterher. Dann muss man echt länger warten bis neue Säfte, Croissants, Toast, Früchte und Rührei da sind.
Man konnte sich jedoch echte Belgische Waffeln selber machen. Der flüssige Teig steht neben dem Gerät und man konnte es einfach rein gießen und das Gerät schließen und umdrehen.
Sonst ist das Personal echt nett und hilfsbereit und es ist sonst auch echt sauber."
Very Good

Great
HHinson523We checked in early and got a room right away, which was great because I wasn't feeling well and could rest immediately. The bed was very comfortable, and I slept really well. There's a large shopping mall across the street, and it's only a 15-minute walk along the shopping street to the Old Town, where you'll find attractions like Manneken Pis and the City Hall.
KKelaiasyncThe Standard Hotel in Brussels is located in the Northern Quarter, an area characterized by government buildings, offices, and a large number of 60s and 70s office blocks, making it sparsely populated. The hotel cleverly utilizes this somewhat cold, stark modernist urban backdrop by injecting color, warmth, abundant greenery, and local Brussels creative culture.
The interiors were designed by Belgian architect Bernard Dubois. He masterfully blends design languages from different periods of the 20th century: from Art Deco, American and Belgian modernism, to postmodernism and the 80s. Warm wood finishes, 1930s-style carpets, and circular and arched structures are interspersed throughout, creating a retro yet timelessly chic look.
The hotel also showcases numerous works by local Belgian artists. The most prominent piece at the entrance is Jan Janssens' ceramic sculpture, 'The Dance.' Jan often explores the human position within urban systems through figures and giant city architecture.
🙋🏾♀️One pro: It's absolutely beautiful!
😌One con: It's in a business district, so there aren't many restaurants or supermarkets nearby, which can be a bit inconvenient at night.
AAnonymous UserThe hotel is in a great location just few minutes from Brussels Zuid but the area feels a bit unsafe, as it’s near train station and there are quite a few homeless people around. It’s not recommended for solo traveller to go out too late at night.
AAnonymous UserAn exceptional stay in Brussels!
I highly recommend The Cardo Brussels! From the moment I arrived, I was captivated by the modern setting and the artistic, welcoming atmosphere of the hotel.
· Ideal location: Perfectly situated in the heart of Brussels, with direct access to Rogier metro station and just a 15-minute walk from the Grand-Place.
· Spacious and stylish rooms: The rooms are among the largest in the city, very modern, spotless, and tastefully decorated.
· Breathtaking view: The view of the city from the rooms and the rooftop is simply stunning.
Our stay was pleasant, the hotel is very clean.
CCansuqixingThis hotel is really old... Don't let the five-star rating fool you, it feels more like a three-star. The elevator is incredibly slow, from 1999! The furniture in the room is also very dated. The front desk sells bottled water in glass bottles for 8 euros a pop – ridiculous. As our Belgian client told us, the hotel's location is right between a safe area and an unsafe one. It's close to the light rail, but there's no elevator from the light rail station to the street level, which is quite annoying. Walking to the city center is fairly convenient though. For the price, it offers good value for money; other hotels in the same area are more expensive.
GGuest UserHad a lovely one-night stay at Craves! The location in Brussels is perfect for exploring. The room was clean, comfortable, and stylish. I really enjoyed the vibe of the hotel and the staff were welcoming. A great choice for a short city break!
JJoe the world citizenThe hotel is very nice and modern. The staffs are helpful and friendly. The room is spacious and clean. The only problem is the location. It is not located in the touristy area. There is no easy public transportation to the grand place except by bus or taxi/uber. Walking to grand place takes around 30 mins passing through Brussels Park and Royal Palace. The positive point is that the area where the hotel is located is very quiet.
GGuest UserThe hotel boasts a prime location, very close to the Brussels Grand Place, within walking distance. Numerous restaurants and shops are located downstairs. The hotel is currently undergoing renovations and upgrades. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, offering excellent value for money.
GGuest UserI loved staying at this hotel! Having the station so close was fantastic. The double room with a private bathroom was very spacious and comfortable. You can tell the bathrooms are a bit dated, but for a two-night stay, I have no complaints.
世世界流浪The hotel's surroundings are average, with many unusual-looking people on the street, but the location is very good, right next to the train station, and it's very convenient to catch a train. It only takes about three minutes to walk.
