very clean, large rooms, comfy beds (but pillows are a bit weird)friendly staff, did not try the food but it looked good.

We booked a last-minute weekend package through Expedia, which included the Hilton Brussels City as a hotel.

We requested double rooms, which did not successfully pass through Expedia to the Hilton (Caveat Emptor). However, the staff (Mustafa) was accommodating and booked us into the rooms in the HHonours floor (TYVM!) with ease.

Overall, it's a Hilton so good service, good rooms, and decent location. We would have preferred to closer to the city centre. We were happy with the helpful staff and clean facility.

The tram is right out of the hotel and provides easy access to Gare du Midi and the centre. Yet, walking to the city centre (Grand Place) takes only 20 minutes and is quite pleasant. Watch out for tramps defecating and urinating about in the tram station.

We best enjoyed Place du Sablon, which is a stretch from the Hilton City.

Brussels overall is a fun city if you like to eat, drink, and just “chillax”. Brussels is a great beer drinking destination with plenty of choices. Not too many historical sights (like Paris/London/etc), but still a good break and recommended if living in the UK for quick jump on the Eurostar.

In sum, we would return to the HBC, but only if hotels closer to the centre or Sablon were full.

We stayed at this hotel at the beginning of our trip and again at the end when we were flying home. The hotel staff is very friendly and checked us in immediately both times even though we were there as early as 8AM. The location is pretty good in terms of being very close to the commercial shopping area, and probably about 10 minutes to the tourist attractions. The first room we stayed in was indeed very small as some previous reviews have stated, but it was really not a big deal for us. When we came back a week later we were randomly given a much bigger room which was nice. The price of this hotel was a very good value in terms of other hotels in Brussels when weighing cost vs. location, cleanliness and comfort. The last thing I'll add is that although this hotel was pretty clean, a closer look under toilet seats, under beds, and side tables was pretty gross. But I suppose it's pretty hard for hotels to be spotless from top to bottom.

The hotel, as others have mentioned, is about a 15-20 minute walk from the Grand Place (down Rue Nueve which has really good shopping). In the other direction, Gard Noord (train station) is about a 10 minute walk- either through office parks or under a highway overpass and adjanct to the red-light district. I arrived at Gard Noord and couldn't convince the one taxi at the taxi stand to drive me to the hotel so I ended up walking and dragging my suitcases (this would repeat itself and I would just go to Gard Centrale and walk to the hotel from there, even as a single female traveling alone at night, because there were always crowds out and about).

The room was very modern, clean, and functional but small. There was hardly any space between the bed and the wall on one side and the built-in desk on the other. The bathroom fits only one person at a time. The layouts of the rooms/bathrooms vary, even on the HiltonHonors floor.

Staff was very friendly and helpful. Free appetizers in the bar during happy hour.

Would stay again, there was nothing wrong with the hotel, but the issue about getting cabs from the Gare Noord was a big drawback.
