The Hotel
Everything was great and my only complain has nothing to do with the staff but with how thin the floors are. Someone who was above me was walking heavily during my entire stay. They obviously didn't know that you were supposed to walk on the pads of your feet instead of your heels. They woke me up ...

Cardo Brussels, Autograph Collection
Room cleaning is very random, during 4 nights stay I only got room clean once, and the last day stay I put on dnd and room cleaner slamming on the door at 9am asking if room clean is needed There’s no such bad room cleaning service I have ever been through

Hilton Brussels Grand Place
Great location in old town. The hotel is generally lovely and you can tell they have put the effort into the lobby. The rooms were nice but not as nice as other Hiltons. Restaurant and bar really good

Great hotel, lovely staff. Tea & coffee options in the room were awful, that’s the only fault!
