The Dominican offers a fantastic location steps away from the vibrant heart of Brussels, with great customer service that truly stands out. My room was stylishly decorated, providing a comfortable and cozy atmosphere. However, I did encounter a few maintenance issues that slightly detracted from the overall experience, such as the bathroom not being thoroughly cleaned. Overall, I would gladly recommend this hotel for its unique ambiance and helpful staff.
