I just spent one night in this hotel and I was on my own. I have been leaving in Brussels for over 20 years and I've passed by this hotel hundreds times but never stayed there so this time I decided to book a night at Le Chatelain. I know it's a 5 stars hotel so I was expecting a 5 stars room. It was a tiny one (which wouldn't have bothered me eventually) located on the 3rd floor and the view from the window was awful a depressing (a dirty grey wall at short distance). See picture attached. I cannot stand air conditioning so I switched it off but a kind of fan noise was still there...and it stayed with me all night, I could hardly sleep a couple of hours. No way to turn it off! I guess it was the bathroom ventilation. The bathroom was also tiny and the pullout shower head located in the bathtub didn't stay properly in place-straight-so I had to hold it in my hands while showering to avoid water going all over the bathroom. I had one nail broken and was looking for a nail file but there wasn't any. No body lotion either! The bathroom bin didn't open with the pedal so I had to open it manually. I always appreciate a chamomile tea or tisane before sleeping but the coffee station only contained 2 teabags, no caffeine-free infusion at all. In a 5 stars hotel you should not experience all this so I was extremely disappointed and won't return to Le Chatelain.

Staff went to great lengths to make our stay special. Parking garage, as the new (August ‘19) parking meters in the street do not accept foreign bank cards.

We chose the hotel for its restaurant, only to find out that it had minimal service during our stay. Fortunately, there is an excellent restaurant at 50 meters (Odette en Ville), reservation recommended.
