This is a very average quality hotel, but the location is very good. It is tucked around the corner from Brussels Centraal Station (which is on the line from the airport, but not the same station as where the Eurostar gets in - although your Eurostar ticket is valid to any station in Belgium, and the transfer is easy).

I had extremely unpleasant experience at the reception upon checking-out. I booked a room thru hotel website which gave me a total cost for 2 nights (non-refundable). When I was checking out, the receptionist insisted that I should pay more as I paid for only 1 night !! So suddenly now the price of the room is double what their... More

Located in Brussels center, just 100 m away from train station. The metro station is next to the exit of the hotel. Low price but needs refurbishment. More

Not sure why the hotel is 4 star, but 3 would seem reasonable. Furnishings are reasonably tidy A good choice of English-language TV stations Plenty of extras in the bathroom! :-) Great location for an under 10 minute walk to the Grand Place and approx 10 mins taxi to Brussels Midi station. All the staff spoke excellent English No breakfast... More

Pros: Location was excellent. You could walk to the Grand Place. Make sure you go to Notre Date de Sablon. It's only 10 minutes walk from the hotel. This is a charming area with a beautiful church, many unique boutiques and restaurants. You will pass Musee Margritte and Musee of Music Instruments on the way. We did not know this... More

I stayed for 5 nights in April 2011...3 nights before heading to Amsterdam and 2 nights on the way back. Let me say this hotel is a hop, skip and jump away from the train station and is literally less than 5 minutes walk from the heart of the city. You can't beat this location! I think the price was...

We were going to Brussels for a short weekend with my boyfriend and were supposed to sleep at some friends', unfortunately at the last minute, we had no room and were arriving in Brussels a few hours later so I decided to book online at this lastminute website. For a 53eur price the night, we had a huge room !... More
