The Standard Brussels

We stayed at The Standard in Brussels for Valentine’s Day and it was honestly the most perfect romantic getaway. From the moment we walked in, everything felt effortlessly cool yet luxurious — the interiors are stunning, with bold design touches and the kind of atmosphere that makes you instantly relax. Our room was beautiful: super stylish, incredibly comfortable, and with amazing views over the city. The bed was huge and dreamy (we didn’t want to leave), and every little detail felt thoughtfully done. The vibe throughout the hotel is chic but not pretentious — lively in the evenings, especially around the bar and restaurant, which made Valentine’s night feel extra special. Cocktails were incredible, the food was delicious, and the whole place had that modern, romantic energy without being cliché. If you’re planning a couples’ trip to Brussels and want somewhere that feels five-star but still fun and vibrant, The Standard is such a good choice. We made the best memories there and would go back in a heartbeat. ❤️

This is a new and trendy hotel near Brussels North Station. It has a nice restaurant and bar in the lobby area as well as some reasonably priced room service items. This is a pretty new hotel and it opened in May 2025. The hotel is in a quiet area but there isn't a whole lot around. The main parts of Brussels are about a 15 minute walk away but being by the train station made it very convenient to make a day trip outside of the city and there is quick and frequent access to the airport. They offer breakfast at this hotel but at 25 Euros a person it is hard to justify. We also found a good self serve laundry spot nearby called Wash Club and got our laundry done halfway through our Christmas Vacation. The rooms were nicely arranged with a bench by the TV and a seating area by the window with a small table. There is a mini bar in the room but those items are pretty expensive. They have a coffee/tea station but they did not provide coffee or tea during our stay so we are happy we brought our own. The bed was pretty comfy and we got a good night's sleep each night. There are some interesting decor choices like a curtain in front of the large flat screen TV in an alcove. There is also a window for the bathroom that has blind slats on the outside of the bathroom. We felt the room was mostly fine but they didn't clean the glasses and the kettle could use some descaler. The bathroom was nice with conditioner, shampoo, body wash and body lotion. The shower provided good pressure and temperature but it had an open design and it was difficult to keep the water in the shower area. The towels provided were pretty new and soft but one had a noticeable stain and we would expect a hotel of this caliber to review the items being put in a room and bathroom. We felt we got a good rate when we booked the hotel and got to enjoy the busy city of Brussels and then relax at this hotel. We believe this hotel will improve because they have some nice facilities and good staff.

Spacious room and really comfy bed and pillows. Unfortunatley, free bottled water is not provided in the room so bring your own if you dont drink tap water and/or spend on the mininbar. Breakfast is decent with good quality food but the variety is a bit limited. Staff is nice and friendly. Location may not be ideal for tourist as the hotel locates in a business districts. If you go by tram to reach the hotel, it's better to alight at Rogier and avoid the North Station which is quite shady and not the safest spot in this beautiful city.

I had a wonderful stay at The Standard Brussels. The service was excellent, especially one of the male front desk staff who was extremely friendly and attentive. As it was my first time visiting Brussels, he kindly asked his colleague Rayan to prepare a list of local restaurant recommendations based on my preferences. Their thoughtful help made my trip much easier and more enjoyable. Highly recommend this hotel for its warm hospitality and professional service👍
