Scandic Grand Place, Brussels, Belgium - Reviews and Hotel Information

If you love the colour brown, you will be in your element here. Unfortunately I’m not at all keen on it and my lasting memory of this place is of how brown it was! The room we had was quite compact and lit for relaxation; this, compounded by the fact that our internal room overlooked the hotel's dimly lit atrium rather than the street, added to the effect and my eyes felt just so hungry for something light bright and colourful that I even asked my friend to hang her pink shirt on the outside of the wardrobe! We tried this but, to be honest, even that just reflected all the brown around us! To add insult to injury, we found, prominently displayed on the dressing table, a brochure detailing the chain’s other branches, all of which seemed as light and airy as the Scandinavian name might lead you to expect. This said, the room and bathroom were clean and the beds were comfortable. We didn’t eat at the hotel during our stay.

We found the hotel very well located for our sightseeing, as we could walk easily to many of the things we had planned to see and the street we were in was very quiet, so we weren’t disturbed at night. Having arrived by Eurostar, however, we did get a little lost trying to find the hotel from the nearest metro stop; we hadn’t a good map and, as the entrance wasn’t obvious from the street, the people we stopped for directions hadn’t heard of it, although it was in fact very close by, which made it easy for us to travel to other areas of the city too.
