On the positive side, the hotel lobby and dining room were both grand, as would be expected in a five star hotel. However, our room was badly laid out and therefore seemed cramped. The breakfast seriously lets the hotel down--a buffet style, with limited hot food, very chewy rolls, and plastic cheese slices! The hotel location was good, with a... more

This was my first stay at the Stanhope (I used to stay at the Meridien when in Brussels) and it exceeded my expectations. At last, this was a truly spacious room with impeccable furbishing. This is one of the best room I had in Brussels, which stands the comparison with the executive rooms at the Meridien or doubles at the... more

Lovely hotel, stayed for one night and was upgraded without even being told fantastic suprise when we entered our room, have no complaints certainly not for the price although I would imagine it is more expensive during the week as it is in the bussiness area and is a nice 10-15 minute walk into the center. Overall a good hotel... more

Spent a weekend at the Stanhope in Feb, the staff was welcoming and very helpful, we were automatically upgraded from a double to a double deluxe. Dont bother with the breakfast, its too expensive.. the hotel is a 15 minute walk from the center (grand place etc) but it was nice to be away from the typical touristy area. The... more

Booked the Stanhope through Expedia for a one night stay in Brussels. I was looking for an above average hotel in a decent location for the sights. The hotel looks quite grand when you pull up and the lobby/entrance is very nice. A lovely courtyard with the most beautiful magnolia tree sits outside the reception area. Our room was on... more

my brother and I spent 3 nights in this hotel on Feb 2008. It was a great building with beautiful room decoration however the staff were not that helpful. They were friendly, but didn't reach 5-star level. I can understand there might be some misunderstanding for people who's not native English speaker to communicate with each other but their attitude... more

I recently stayed at the Stanhope for one night on a business trip. The hotel's lobby and general decor is very nice. The staff at check-in were helpful. An additional person came over to service me as other staff were busy. On check-out again, they were swift and professional. My positive view is somewhat dampened by the size of the... more

Booked a Eurostar week-end (Fri/Sat nights) through lastminute.com. Wonderful experience, the hotel was beautifully kept just as the website photos show. Fantastic room - we paid a bit extra for a de-luxe room which gave us a separate living room. Amazing bathroom - his and hers basins, not to mention a shower and separate bath and shower! Very friendly and... more

I booked a Birthday Package through the hotel website, which included an upgrade, breakfast, champagne in the room and a small gift from the hotel, for € 139,--. The room was lovely; comfy couch, 2 tv's (reception was so-so), seperate toilet, real roomy bathroom (2 showers!) and a good sturdy bed. Service: in a bilingual country like Belgium (particularly the... more
