This is a beautiful hotel in the old style. The Art Nouveau decor is especially attractive - especially in the public areas, where there are sofas, water features and attractive plants.  

I had a spacious, clean and very quiet room, which was a pleasure to stay in.  I believe the rooms vary in quality and size but mine was was ideal, with a separate bathroom.

The buffet breakfast was in an absolutely elegant room and was outstanding.

There were only two slight drawbacks. There were no facilities for making coffee or tea in the room and none was available in the lobby. The only possibility was the bar, which wasn't always open.

The free access to wireless internet was only in the lobby and not available in the rooms.

The hotel is in a very convenient location - only 50 metres from the Underground station (Rodier). It is a very easy walk into the centre of town. 

If you like a place filled with nostalgia, this is a good choice when in Brussels.
