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

My wife, two children and I just returned from a European vacation to Brussels, Brugge and Amsterdam. Whilst in Brussels, our stay in the Hesperia Grand Place worked out perfectly. This hotel is a 10 minute walk to the Grand Place[note: it really is grand, although I liked Brugge's better] and a 5 minute walk to the Centraal Train Station[our... more

Overall I liked this hotel. Very good location to all the sights in Brussels. What I liked about the Hesperia: 1) rate was good, 75 euro, 2) overall location to the sights, and to the train station, was very good, 3) friendly staff, 4) room was relatively clean, some stains on the floor, 5) free internet off the lobby. What... more

This hotel was too close to the metro! We walked out of the central metro station when it was raining and there was a crowd of people on the street and walked right by the entrance to the hotel which is 5 feet from the metro exit. Actually, it’s a great location a block from the cathedral and the center... more

My wife and I have just returned from a Eurostar three night break in Brussels. The hotel location is very good just across the road from the Central Station and about a 5 = 10 mins walk to Grand Place. (uphill on the way back but not to bad) The hotel staff all spoke English and were very helpful and... more

My husband and I just returned from an Easter break in Brussels and stayed at this hotel. We were initially supposed to book the Marriott, but as we were still doing the online booking, the hotel became unavailable and we settled for the Hesperia. When we arrived at the hotel, it really did not look 4 stars at all!! We... more

The location is very good, near central train station, where you can get the train to the airport, to Bruges, to Antwerp, to Paris, to… almost everywhere in Europe!!! The rooms are spacious, clean and comfortable, although a bit noisy, because of the traffic in the Avenue de colonies. Breakfast is good, however it as few fruit and replacing is... more
