Once inside the Stanhope Hotel in Brussels it is a nice Hotel. It had a great fitness center for us. Our room was pleasant. It was a good size & the bathroom was ample with good lighting. The bed was comfortable & it was quiet at night. The breakfast was located in a lovely area of the Hotel. It was a very good breakfast, however, the staff was coffee challenged & one day it was good, the next it was awful. They need some training on that level. We didn't realize that the Hotel is mostly a business Hotel & is not located near the City Center. We had difficulty in finding restaurants close by & had to walk a ways to find them. Also, to get to the Palaces, museums, etc., we walked quite a ways through very industrial areas, with heavy construction & traffic all around plus very noisy streets. Although the Hotel was nice, we would not stay in this particular area again.
