My boyfriend and I stayed at the Dominican during a recent visit to his home country. The hotel is in a historically renovated building that combines modern amenities with old warm charm. The desk staff were quick and efficient. The room was comfortable although we could not figure out how to turn off the TV volume in the bathroom, and... More

Dear guest, Many thanks for your helpful review! Our menu for room service can be considered limited somehow, but our FOODBOOK at Lounge Bar & Grand Lounge generally is appreciated for its wide range of choices. And we even have an extensive selection of vegetarian dishes. I am truly sorry to learn that you wouldn't reconsider staying with us... Kind... More

I used booking.com to get the room requesting an early check in. Staff were extremely prompt with a reply email and upon even earlier arrival were kind enough to provide me with a delightful room. Hotel is in a great location, staff are friendly and go the extra mile, highly recommend! More

Great hotel in a very central location. The rooms were beautifully decorated, the bed was super comfortable. Bathroom was clean with a huge shower, good toiletries. The window had no view (inward onto other buildings) but it opened as was nice. Bar downstairs was fantastic, excellent service and drinks. Close enough to walk to the central areas for shopping, eating... More

The Dominican was very nice and centrally located within the Grand Place...but far enough away to not be affected by the noise. Our room was comfortable, great bed & pillows! We chose a room with a bath (we were given a choice of bath or shower), glad we did because the tub was bigger than the average tub and the... More

I stayed one night in The Dominican and would highly recommend it. As other reviewers have pointed out, it is in a fantastic location and very near to Grand Place. The decor of the room was interesting, and the interiors were quite dark which made for a relaxing and comfortable atmosphere. Bathrobes and bedroom slippers were provided. There is also... More

The interior is very tasty and delicate, the atmosphere is warm and cozy, just as the pople working here. We got a really good room on the 6th floor, quite and large enough for... More
