I had a mixed experience at the Renaissance Brussels Hotel. While the location near the European Parliament was excellent for my needs, and the breakfast was a standout with plenty of tasty options, I encountered some issues. My room had some maintenance problems, and while the staff was generally helpful, the service wasn't always efficient. I'd consider it fine for a short stay, but I wouldn’t recommend it for anything longer.

My recent stay at the Renaissance Brussels Hotel was a mixed bag. The location is superb, making it easy to explore the city, and I appreciated the spacious family room that felt almost like an apartment.

I did enjoy the heated indoor pool, but unfortunately, the temperature was a bit on the colder side for my taste.
