The hotel was very good. It was clean and comfortable. I would recommend it if you’re looking for a convenient place to stay in Brussels. It’s close to the city center and easy to get around. I definitely would use it again if I were to return to Brussels for sightseeing or shopping. The staff was generally friendly and helpful for the most part.

AC does not work. In none of the rooms. It’s an old system with no digital thermostat, so many people were complaining when we were there.
We changed rooms, also not working in other room.

Double bed was 2 single beds put together

There is no room service

If you want something like a dental kit you need to go get it yourself

Housekeeping did not come for some reason

Paid over £200 per night
Absolutely terrible

Lovely hotel, room spacious and clean and staff very helpful.

Negatives are that the room was extraordinarily hot, with the air con unit only blowing out hot air at varying speeds. Windows can only open a little, which couldn't cool the room down enough. Breakfast also very expensive

Really enjoy the bar! Very warm and comfortable, good food and drinks.
The only complaint is they did away with the music (Gregorian chant?) in the room and hallways. Always enjoyed it, very relaxing.

Great staff, great location. My main gripe is the room temperature - even with the air con temp turned right down off it was still too hot and stuffy - i hate air con at the best of times so we switched it off, didn’t make the room temp better though!

The hotel was beautiful. The staff were great. The gentleman on reception, when we arrived, noticed that it was my birthday from my passport and was so kind making the stay special. We had dinner in the restaurant that night as we arrived quite late. The food and service were first class. The best birthday! We loved the hotel and Brussels.

Great location

This small hotel is located within walking distance of Central Station, Gran Place, the National Cathedral, and many other sights.

The staff is very friendly and helpful. The common areas are comfortable and there’s a small courtyard to enjoy a drink on a
pleasant evening.

We were unable to connect to WiFi the first night and couldn’t reach guest services because the room phone wasn’t working. The room itself was small, but well appointed, with plenty of space to sit and relax. The bathroom lighting was not very good for me to apply makeup.

Great location, an easy & quick walk to the Grand Place, the restaurant in the hotel is very good and the bar is awesome. Love the patio in front when the sun is out. The hotel entrance is on a street that is pedestrian only and it’s directly behind the opera house. Chez Jules is a great restaurant on Rue de L’ Ecuyer that can be seen from the front of the hotel. Don’t bother with Ricotta and Parmesan restaurant next to Chez Jules. Our favorite place to eat is Maison du Cerf on the Grand Place next to Godiva. The hotel staff is very friendly. The room interiors are clean and well appointed but they will need a slight refresh soon. Nothing deterring, but I was surprised to find some peeling wallpaper on our last visit, and one of the stair treads popped off, but nothing beyond regular wear and tear that one regularly finds in every other hotel, and did not change and otherwise comfortable and clean room. Only the executive loft rooms have stairs in them, so easy to avoid. Neither would prevent me from returning and I plan to stay again. It’s a beautiful, clean, reliable boutique hotel with a very friendly and attentive staff and a luxurious atmosphere. The best hotel for walking access to shopping, the Grand Place, Brussels Central train station, the Brussels metro/underground/tram stations, multiple nearby SAFE parking lots, and the Sablon antiques district. Super easy to get to by train to and from the airport. I always stay at The Dominican and always will!

Big on customer service, light on the weights

The staff here were absolutely exceptional, very kind and accommodating.

Seems like a small thing but the water in the hallways was such good quality it was so nice! :)

Only reason I'm giving it a 4 instead of a 5 is that the 'gym' was a real pull for me. The website makes it sound quite large and well kitted out. It is quite the opposite; a few cardio machines, randomly a punching bag, and some very very light weights. I was happy with the experience anyway but part of the reason I chose this hotel was for the 'gym' so it was a little dissapointing.

At first glance hotel seems nice... but unfortunately our stay of 2 nights... the first room was not clean... there was an actual face cloth sitting on the desk when we got in...I took it as cleaner just left it by accident but i still used my own Wipes to ensure clean but after a bit of time i noticed filth on the upholstery of the chairs and bed... the washroom also smelled of urine... the last straw was when we came back to room it smelled of dirty shoes...needless to say i asked for a different room and they did upgrade us to a much nicer room which was clean.... but then we had noisy neighbors but that is not the hotels fault but maybe needs better room sound insulation....

Great location. Walking distance from the metro, which we took from the Brussels Midi train station. The staff was welcoming and the check in process was easy. We stayed in Brussels for only one night, but we were able to walk to all the things we wanted to see, including Grand Plaza. The room was quiet and spacious and breakfast had many delicious choices. Definitely recommend asking reception to call a taxi for the airport because it's a flat rate, and stress free. I highly recommend The Dominican!

Great location and the room was very comfortable but lots of small issues added up to a less than great experience. Service and food for dinner was off, they kept telling me items were gluten free when they obviously weren’t. We did breakfast the first morning and for the price and quality of hotel, it was not to the level expected. The eggs were powdered eggs! Would not pay for the breakfast. The elevator was also broken so we had to climb stairs and the AC did not really cool the room at all. Great location and very comfortable beds but eat elsewhere.

We rented 2 rooms for 4 nights. Housekeeping didnt show up on one of the days. Had to call multiple times just to get fresh towels. Next day, they did show up but left the room smelling of sewage. Had to make many calls and trips to front desk just to have housekeeping come back and spray deodorant in the room. Both our rooms had mildew in showers, toilets and on showerhead, which was not addressed during our stay despite our complaint on the first day.

This was an OK property that with a little attention could be great. The lobby and bar and dining are great. The front desk staff is wonderful - but then you get to the room. Carpet is tired and dirty looking. There was quite a bit of mold and mildew around tub fixtures and tile. The maid was very ambivalent about fully restocking the room each day. We staid 4 nights. While there, we were lucky to get the room refreshed by 3 or 4. The day we checked out she was hovering in the hallway by 9. For the price - the room was fine but definitely not up to luxury standards.
