If you are looking for a clean basic hotel in a great location the Hespria is worth considering. As others have commented, the hotel is right by the metro/station centralle and within easy walking distance of most sights. I found the staff on the front desk to be very friendly and helpful, speaking many languages and recommending restaurants and sights... more

All round excellent stay courtesy of this hotel. Staff were helpful and friendly in the extreme.Facilities were above average and location superb; right beside metro and train station. Could not ask for better and will return first opportunity. more

Stay - 3 nights / 2 days. Location – It is just up the hill from the main train station, and a 10 minute walk to the Town Hall and the main square. Room – It was a big room but a bit dark and run down. We faced out onto a side street that had construction work going on... more

Husband, 2.5 year old and me stayed here for 2 nights in late Oct 2007. The hotel is your average hotel. It's definitely showing its age. But we thought it was a good value at room rate of 130 euro per nite (breakfast included). We got a junior suite: queen size bed and a seating area. The room was spacious... more

Good room rate and convenient location (right next to the station). Breakfasts are reasonable. Free use of the internet in the lobby. There can be quite a bit of noise from the street during the night if you have the window open. Rooms and corridors could do with a bit of redecoration/modernisation. I prefer the other Hesperia hotel in Brussels... more

We stayed at this hotel twice, for one night on August 12th and for two nights on August 22nd and 23d. This hotel is conveniently located within 5 minutes walk from the Grand Place. Although the Grand Place is beautiful, it is a real tourist trap. Restaurants and shops are overpriced, and for this reason we found it preferable to... more

My wife and I spent 2 nights at this hotel and could not have been happier. This was our first hotel stay in our 6 weeks European trip after spending the previous 10 days in an apartment in Paris. I thoroughly researched hotel accommodation options in all the cities we were to visit and as this was the first I... more

This is what European travel is all about. I'm not talking "elegant" here... not "flashy"... not "dazzling." I'm remembering the relaxed, comfortable, friendliness of the Hesperia Grand Hotel that made us wish we didn't have to leave. And if you need further accolades, try these three: location, location, location. The subway station is (literally) next door. You can walk to... more

I found the Central Station confusing when trying to find a way to use a lift or escalator and still get in/out the exit near the hotel. But even emerging near the main station, the hotel was just a 2 block walk uphill. Desk staff were very helpful. As I was early my choice was immediate room facing the street... more
