Welcoming staff - excellent ambassadors for the hotel which is in a quiet road adjacent to an area full of art galleries, antique shops, independent clothes shops, small bars and restaurants. Very interesting, well-designed public area with pleasant outside area. Spacious bedroom with mid-century modern theme. Good sized shower room.

A small wash basin in the toilet for hygiene reasons. The desk section of the mid-century shelving unit needed fixing on other than the original fastenings, to ensure it did not fall off and shock or hurt people.

Lovely hotel, with well-designed furnishings. They provided everything you may need, there is a coffee machine in the room and free tea/coffee in the lobby. The spa pool and sauna was great to relax after a long work day (but be aware that the pool is small, not really suitable to swim in). Great breakfast with plenty of choice.

Not sure I share the taste of some of the design choices - the theme of the decor is tribal art, which does not really fit Brussels and is not very culturally sensitive. But in terms of facilities, I can't fault the place. A bit pricey.

The friendliness and helpfulness of the staff. Special mention to Michaella and specially Noemi who insured that we get the extra free bottle of water when we arrive in the evenings and who arranged for our dinner on our last night. Walking distance to most of the sites.

No water on the first morning. No working house phone in our room until the last night. I discovered the house phone was mot plugged in.

The design and decor of The Standard is amazing, a feast of retro architecture and interiors. We loved our room - a huge super king bed, gorgeous furniture and a playful colour scheme. We were only there for one night but we are looking forward to staying again. The staff were super-helpful and friendly. A shout out to Zlatimir especially who carried our heavy luggage and showed us the amazing views from the roof terrace/bar.

Nothing! Its a very special hotel.

Good breakfast. The pool/ sauna was nice and plenty big for the number of other guests wanting to use it. Also nice that the gowns were a reasonable size, could fit both larger and smaller people without looking silly. Rooms were clean and had plenty of storage, loved the walk in shower we had in our room. Walking distance to the centre of Brussels although the hotel is up a small slope so much easier going down!!

Weren’t always towels in the swimming pool so wasn’t clear if you needed to bring yours from the room. Same as many people that water bottles could have been replaced after the first day but this isn’t really an issue when there is a supermarket within 5 min walk.

The breakfast was totally yummy. You can make your own waffles! It was great to relax at the Spa area. The room is nicely decorated and employees were very nice and helpful.

Our room had a permanent bad smell. The employees were aware and did their best to help. We left the window open to make it bearable. It would have been nice to get a discount for that, but it wasn't offered.

The hotel is great for a short trip like a weekend getaway, it’s 5 min walk away to grand place and galleries royales yet tucked away in a very quiet street. With the current bed bug situation in Paris and nearby and the Palestine protests, I was very happy to see the room was clean and designed to be easily cleaned, and the location was perfect close to everything yet far away enough from the crowds so very quiet. I didn’t use the pool and sauna but my friends said it was nice.

Only one small bottle of water in the room for the entire stay was a bit short but I liked how the lobby had a self serve bar with some free hot drinks and refreshments. The street is not known to all taxi drivers so plan accordingly, a couple times our Ubers missed the turn and we ended having to wait a little bit as they had to make a detour to come back, there were lots of road works and closures in the city centre when we were there. There were some small stains on towels and sheets and mattress but everything was clean.

Excellent location, situated very conveniently between the historic old town and Ixelles. A very nice Grand Sablon square just around the corner with lots of Michelin-recommended restaurants and cafes/bars to have a quick drink or enjoy a morning coffee. Lots of museums, parks only a short walk away. During our 3-day stay we used the public transport only once - to go and visit the Atomium. Everything else (shopping, dining, sites) was easily accessible by foot. I was truly amazed how great the location was, just perfect! The sauna and pool part are smaller that appear on the photos, but still a very nice relaxing hour after a long day of shopping. Did not sample the breakfast, since we like to sleep in on holidays. All in all an amazing experience!

The Location is good, lots of historical sites and attractions within a 2 km walking distance.Metro station close by for further travels.Nice restaurants +-300 meters from hotel.We really enjoyed the stay there at your hotel.

There was just one place where there was people staying and sleeping under the bridge of a road that you don't always feel save walking through it and the smell was not good but this was +- 300 meters from the hotel.

We travelled to Brussels as a family of 4 (2 adults + 2 kids: 18 & 10) for the sightseeing and visiting museums We choose to stayed 4 nights at the 9 Hotel Sablon (booked 2 separate rooms)based on the reviews on booking.com and because its strategic location. Despite of being centrally located, it is a quite place. Clean rooms and common areas, wonderful staff (we had Martina at the check in and she did her best to address all our requests), good breakfast and as a bonus - swimming pool (filled with warm water) and a sauna. Something I would never expect in the hotel of this type. Overall: great experience.
