Top Brussels Hotel Reviews

Warwick Brussels Grand-Place

10/10 Excellent

"Nice hotel, great location -- steps from the Grand Place and the Central Train Station (beware of some cobblestones along the way, though; a little bumpy for suitcase wheels). Breakfast was expensive, though (30 euros per person!), so we opted to stock up on yogurt, fruits, and OJ from the train station's Carrefour Express, just down the block. Many restaurants, souvenir shops, chocolate shops, etc. nearby."

Motel One Brussels

10/10 Excellent

"The staff are friendly and helpful. Good selection at breakfast. The location is also very convenient. The room is a bit small but big enough. Air condition is good for the heatwave. It would be good to have a peep hole on the door but it is not a deal breaker."

Le Louise Hotel Brussels - MGallery

10/10 Excellent
