I stayed for three nights at the Royal Windsor Hotel Grand Place Brussels in mid December 2009 on a complimentary basis. My stay was arranged through Hotels.com from their selection of hotels in Brussels.

I stayed in an executive suite on the 6th floor. There was a seating/working area which could be separated from the bedroom area by a sliding wooden screen. Each area had a flat screen TV. Internet access was available free of charge by wired connection but I had to grovel around on the floor in order to insert the socket. The internet access was excellent and I was able to quickly upload videos to youtube.

The room had views over the spire at Grand Place from which I could watch some of the Christmas Light Show after dark.

The bathroom, off the bedroom. was very luxurious in brown marble with a large shower cubicle, a bath and two sinks. There was a selection of Bulgari shampoo, shower gel, soap and body lotion as well as toweling bath robes and slippers for guests to use. The toilet was located just to the left of the main door.

I was disappointed that in such a standard of room that you had to request and pay extra (5 euro a day) to have in room tea and coffee making facilities. In my opinion this should be offered to every guest as standard with no additional charge.

I wanted to show you a couple of videos of other rooms, as the Royal Windsor has a wide selection of types of room including rooms for business guests. Below is a video of a standard room.

The hotel has twelve fashion rooms individually designed by some of the top names in Belgian fashion designers. Below is the room by Christian Wijnants.

Breakfast at the Royal Windsor is excellent with a wide selection of fresh fruit, cereals, cold meats, cheeses, yoghurts, cooked breakfast, smoked salmon, bread and pastries. I did enjoy the Belgian waffles and crepes.

In summary the Royal Windsor Hotel Grand Place is a well located hotel which offers a high standard of accommodation and service to all guests. If you want to splash out you can have plenty of space in a suite or a boutique type experience in one of the fashion rooms.
